UPM or mac address based vlan switching?

UPM or mac address based vlan switching?

I'm looking for suggestions on our design.

We currently have a mixture of extreme products (8806, X670, X450, X440) with multiple VLANS.

Right now I've been assigning ports to vlans manually which is turning into a bit of a pain. I was wondering what the best approach would be to implement a policy whereby machines/ports get their VLAN assignment based on the devices mac address plugging into said port.

EG:
All mac's that begin with XX:XX go into VLAN 1
All mac's that begin with XY:XY go into VLAN 2

Would UPM or Mac Based Netlogin be the better option ?

You wouldn't need to use UPM for VLAN assignment, but it could be used for other things. The easiest approach would be to use local MAC authentication with a mask filtering certain OUIs and creating local users in the local user database with VLAN VSAs (and UPM scripting if needed) locally on the switch.

I'll follow with an example shortly.

Yes, they are.

I have those scenarios:
Extreme Switch -> Computer
Extreme Switch -> Avaya Phone
Extreme Switch -> Not managed Switch -> Computer/Avaya (or another brand...) Phone
Extreme Switch -> Avaya Phone -> Computer
Extreme Switch -> Avaya Phone -> Another brand (that cant do vlan) Phone

Are two devices connecting to the same port (e.g. a PC connecting to a VOIP phone which is connected to the switch)?

I've tested this configuration and seems to be what i need.

Is it possible to pass "2 untagged vlan" in the same port using this? (like dataVlan and voiceVlan)?

Or at least "1 untagged + 1 tagged" ?
