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 a 5300xl switch use the same MAC
address.)
■ For internal switch operations: One MAC address per port (See “CLI:
Viewing the Port and VLAN MAC Addresses” on page
D-4.)
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.
