Abstract :
In this paper, the technology of MAC-based VLANs which adapts to mobile office in campus area network is discussed. VLANs offer a number of advantages over traditional LANs. There are mainly two types of VLANs used by campus area network: Port-based VLANs and MAC-based VLANs. The characteristics of MAC-based VLANs are illuminated and this type VLANs is the best choice of campus area network because the MAC-based VLANs can provide secure and convenient application. In a typical campus area network, the principle of MAC-based VLANs is discussed. The configuration of VMPS server and VMPS client is implemented in detail, including creating VMPS database, configuring VMPS server and configuring dynamic ports on VMPS clients. MAC-based VLANs are very useful for mobile office and make user work efficient and convenient in campus area network with security.
