With MAC-based dynamic port assignment enabled, packets with unknown source MAC
addresses are sent to the CPU for processing. Because this packet processing mode has the
highest priority, the configuration of MAC learning limit and disabling MAC address learning
becomes invalid. Therefore, it is recommended not to configure these two features if MAC-based
dynamic port assignment is enabled.
In MAC-based dynamic port assignment, the port that receives a packet with an unknown source
MAC address can be successfully assigned to the matched VLAN only when the matched VLAN
is a static VLAN.
With MSTP enabled, if the MSTP instance for the corresponding VLAN is blocked, packets with
unknown source MAC addresses will fail to be sent to the CPU. As a result, the receiving port will
not be dynamically assigned to the corresponding VLAN. Since MAC-based dynamic port
assignment is mainly configured on the access side, it is recommended not to configure it together
with MSTP.
Do not enable MAC-based dynamic port assignment together with 802.1X or MAC authentication.
When a MAC address ages, the receiving port automatically leaves the VLAN to which it was
dynamically assigned to. For more information about MAC address aging, see MAC Address

in the Layer 2 - LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
