Overview

The switch assigns MAC addresses in these areas:

For management functions, one Base MAC address is assigned to the default VLAN (VID = 1.) (All VLANs on the switches covered in this guide use the same MAC address.)
For internal switch operations: One MAC address per port.

MAC addresses are assigned at the factory. The switch automatically implements these addresses for VLANs and ports as they are added to the switch.

NOTE:

The switch’s base MAC address is also printed on a label affixed to the switch.
