Netgear M4100-D12G (GSM5212v1h1) - 10‐port GE + 2 GE Combo L2 Managed PD Switch Manual De Usuario

The MAC-based VLAN feature allows incoming untagged packets to be assigned to a VLAN 
and thus classifies traffic based on the source MAC address of the packet.

You define MAC to VLAN mapping by configuring an entry in the MAC to VLAN table. An 
entry is specified through a source MAC address and the desired VLAN ID. The MAC to 
VLAN configurations are shared across all ports of the device (for example, system-wide 
table has MAC address to VLAN ID mappings).

When untagged or priority tagged packets arrive at the switch and entries exist in the MAC to 
VLAN table, the source MAC address of the packet is looked up. If an entry is found, the 
corresponding VLAN ID is assigned to the packet. If the packet is already priority tagged, it 
maintains this value; otherwise the priority is set to zero. The assigned VLAN ID is verified 
against the VLAN table. If the VLAN is valid ingress processing on the packet continues; 
otherwise, the packet is dropped. This implies that the user is allowed to configure a MAC 
address mapping to a VLAN that has not been created on the system.
