MAC-Based VLANs

Does any body know an easy way to configure MAC-based VLAN's on the configuration below?

I would like to *not* have 3 x Static MAC Address tables. I would like to have MAC addresses associated with one or more VLANs, and *no* port association.

5348 (3 x 1000base uplink)

    The MAC-to-VLAN configuration option is a new feature to the PowerConnect 3400 series switches.  The feature allows for the dynamic addition of an interface to a designated VLAN provided the device attached matches the MAC address specified in the configuration. 
     
    console# configure
    console(config)# vlan database
    console(config-vlan)# mac-to-vlan [MAC Address] [VLAN ID]
     
    Once the interface has joined the VLAN, any subsequent MAC Addresses learned are denied access, until the MAC Address that triggered the dynamic addition ages out of the CAM table.   The association is MAC-to-VLAN and the interface is only associated if a device with a MAC Address configured to a specific VLAN is attached.
