HI All, I have come across this design a few times and I am not too sure what can be offered by our current switches. The objective is simple: I have a user with static IP 192.168.10.2, they need to be automatically placed into VLAN 10 on the switch port due to their IP. If a user with IP address 192.168.20.3 connects to the same port, they need to be automatically placed into VLAN 20. Netgear and HP refer to this as IP-Based VLANs and Cisco refers to it as Dynamic VLANs (MAC-based VLANS). The packet header is inspected and based on the information, an action is performed from the switch or management plane (software) that would modify the port egress. With what I have read, it seems that this can only be done via policies - whether on the EOS or XOS. For my sake, let's remain on the EOS platform. To my understanding, a policy can be deployed to the switch, best case scenario by using Extreme Control - Policy manager. I would like to confirm my thought, but more to confirm if IP based is possible ? IF IP is not possible, would MAC be possible, and if so, what would the recipe look like ? Would the Layer 3 license be a requirement or can this be done out of the box with Extreme Control ? What else is required ? Appreciate your responses Dewald
