Assigning hosts to a VLAN based on MAC address

[a.manosca]

Catalyst 6503 with SUP2/MSFC2 running native IOS (service provider) - is it possible to assign hosts to specific VLANs based only on MAC address without using any other management software?

48-port 10/100 blade. We're planning to use 802.1X on ports 1-24. For ports 25-48 we will connect non-802.1X clients but we would like to automatically assign them to specific VLANs based on their MAC address.

I believe VMPS is not supported on native IOS.

Thanks in advance for any input.

You are right, 6500 doesnot support dynamic vlan in native IOS mode.CatOS supports dynamic VLAN.
