USING THE COMMAND-LINE
INTERFACE

This chapter discusses the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager (3WXM)
command-line interface (CLI). Described are:
Editing on the command line (see “Command-Line Editing” on
Using the CLI help feature (see “Using CLI Help” on page 31)
Information about the command descriptions in this reference (see
Overview
Mobility System Software (MSS) operates a 3Com Mobility System
wireless LAN (WLAN) consisting of 3Com Wireless Switch Manager
(3WXM) software and 3Com Wireless LAN Switch or 3Com Wireless LAN
Controller (WX switch) and 3Com Wireless LAN Managed Access Point
(MAP) hardware. There is a command-line interface (CLI) on the WX
switch that you can use to configure and manage the WX and its
attached access points.
You configure the wireless LAN switches and access points primarily with
set, clear, and display commands. Use set commands to change
parameters. Use clear commands to reset parameters to their defaults. In
many cases, you can overwrite a parameter with another set command.
Use display commands to show the current configuration and monitor
the status of network operations.
The wireless LAN switches support two connection modes:
Administrative access mode, which enables the network administrator
to connect to the WX switch and configure the network
Network access mode, which enables network users to connect
through the WX switch to access the network

CHAPTER 1: USING THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
CLI Conventions
Be aware of the following MSS CLI conventions for command entry:
Command Prompts By default, the MSS CLI provides the following prompt for restricted
users. The mmmm portion shows the wireless LAN switch model number
(for example, 1200).
WXmmmm>
After you become enabled as an administrative user by typing enable
and supplying a suitable password, MSS displays the following prompt:
WXmmmm#
For information about changing the CLI prompt on a wireless LAN switch,
Syntax Notation The MSS CLI uses standard syntax notation:
Bold monospace font identifies the command and keywords you must
type. For example:
set enablepass
Italics indicate a placeholder for a value. For example, you replace
vlan-id in the following command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:
clear interface vlan-id ip
Curly brackets ({ }) indicate a mandatory parameter, and square
brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional parameter. For example, you must
enter dynamic or port and a port list in the following command, but
a VLAN ID is optional:
clear fdb {dynamic | port port-list} [vlan vlan-id]
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
CLI Conventions
25
A vertical bar (|) separates mutually exclusive options within a list of
possibilities. For example, you enter either enable or disable, not
both, in the following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
Text Entry Unless otherwise indicated, the MSS CLI accepts standard ASCII
Conventions and alphanumeric characters, except for tabs and spaces, and is
Allowed Characters case-insensitive.
The CLI has specific notation requirements for MAC addresses, IP
addresses, and masks, and allows you to group usernames, MAC
addresses, virtual LAN (VLAN) names, and ports in a single command.
3Com recommends that you do not use the same name with different
capitalizations for VLANs or access control lists (ACLs). For example, do
not configure two separate VLANs with the names red and RED.
The CLI does not support the use of special characters including the
following in any named elements such as SSIDs and VLANs: ampersand
(&), angle brackets (< >), number sign (#), question mark (?), or quotation
marks (“”).
In addition, the CLI does not support the use of international characters
such as the accented É in DÉCOR.
MAC Address MSS displays MAC addresses in hexadecimal numbers with a colon (:)
Notation delimiter between bytes — for example, 00:01:02:1a:00:01. You can
enter MAC addresses with either hyphen (-) or colon (:) delimiters, but
colons are preferred.
For shortcuts:
You can exclude leading zeros when typing a MAC address. MSS
displays of MAC addresses include all leading zeros.
In some specified commands, you can use the single-asterisk (*)
wildcard character to represent from 1 byte to 5 bytes of a MAC
address. (For more information, see “MAC Address Globs” on
page 27.)

CHAPTER 1: USING THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
IP Address and Mask MSS displays IP addresses in dotted decimal notation — for example,
Notation 192.168.1.111. MSS makes use of both subnet masks and wildcard
masks.
Subnet Masks
Unless otherwise noted, use classless interdomain routing (CIDR) format
to express subnet masks — for example, 192.168.1.112/24. You indicate
the subnet mask with a forward slash (/) and specify the number of bits in
the mask.
Wildcard Masks
Security access control lists (ACLs) use source and destination IP addresses
and wildcard masks to determine whether the wireless LAN switch filters
or forwards IP packets. Matching packets are either permitted or denied
network access. The ACL checks the bits in IP addresses that correspond
to any 0s (zeros) in the mask, but does not check the bits that correspond
to 1s (ones) in the mask. You specify the wildcard mask in dotted decimal
notation.
For example, the address 10.0.0.0 and mask 0.255.255.255 match all IP
addresses that begin with 10 in the first octet.
User Globs, MAC Name “globbing” is a way of using a wildcard pattern to expand a single
Address Globs, and element into a list of elements that match the pattern. MSS accepts user
VLAN Globs globs, MAC address globs, and VLAN globs. The order in which globs
appear in the configuration is important, because once a glob is matched,
processing stops on the list of globs.
User Globs
A user glob is shorthand method for matching an authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) command to either a single user or
a set of users.
A user glob can be up to 80 characters long and cannot contain spaces or
tabs. The double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters with no delimiter
characters match all usernames. The single-asterisk (*) wildcard character
matches any number of characters up to, but not including, a delimiter
character in the glob. Valid user glob delimiter characters are the at (@)
sign and the period (.).

Table 3 User Globs
User Glob
User(s) Designated
User jose at example.com
*@example.com
All users at example.com whose usernames do not
contain periods — for example, [email protected]
and [email protected], but not
[email protected], because nin.wong
contains a period
*@marketing.example.com
All marketing users at example.com whose
usernames do not contain periods
*.*@marketing.example.com All marketing users at example.com whose

*
All users with usernames that have no delimiters
EXAMPLE\*
All users in the Windows Domain EXAMPLE with
usernames that have no delimiters
EXAMPLE\*.*
All users in the Windows Domain EXAMPLE whose
usernames contain periods
**
All users
MAC Address Globs
A media access control (MAC) address glob is a similar method for
matching some authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and
forwarding database (FDB) commands to one or more 6-byte MAC
addresses. In a MAC address glob, you can use a single asterisk (*) as a
wildcard to match all MAC addresses, or as follows to match from 1 byte
to 5 bytes of the MAC address:
00:*
00:01:*
00:01:02:*
00:01:02:03:*
00:01:02:03:04:*
For example, the MAC address glob 02:06:8c* represents all MAC
addresses starting with 02:06:8c. Specifying only the first 3 bytes of a
MAC address allows you to apply commands to MAC addresses based on
an organizationally unique identity (OUI).

CHAPTER 1: USING THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
VLAN Globs
A VLAN glob is a method for matching one of a set of local rules on an
wireless LAN switch, known as the location policy, to one or more users.
MSS compares the VLAN glob, which can optionally contain wildcard
characters, against the VLAN-Name attribute returned by AAA, to
determine whether to apply the rule.
To match all VLANs, use the double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters with
no delimiters. To match any number of characters up to, but not
including, a delimiter character in the glob, use the single-asterisk (*)
wildcard. Valid VLAN glob delimiter characters are the at (@) sign and the
period (.).
For example, the VLAN glob bldg4.* matches bldg4.security and bldg4.hr
and all other VLAN names with bldg4. at the beginning.
Matching Order for Globs
In general, the order in which you enter AAA commands determines the
order in which MSS matches the user, MAC address, or VLAN to a glob.
To verify the order, view the output of the display aaa or display config
command. MSS checks globs that appear higher in the list before items
lower in the list and uses the first successful match.
Port Lists The physical Ethernet ports on a WX switch can be set for connection to
MAP access points, authenticated wired users, or the network backbone.
You can include a single port or multiple ports in one MSS CLI command
by using the appropriate list format.
The ports on a WX switch are numbered 1 through 4 (for the 3Com
Wireless LAN Controller WX4400) and 1 through 8 (for the 3Com
Wireless Lan Switch WX1200). No port 0 exists on the WX switch. You
can include a single port or multiple ports in a command that includes
port port-list. Use one of the following formats for port-list:
A single port number. For example:
WX1200# set port enable 6
A comma-separated list of port numbers, with no spaces. For
example:
WX1200# display port poe 1,2,4
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Command-Line Editing
29
A hyphen-separated range of port numbers, with no spaces. For
example:
WX1200# reset port 1-3
Any combination of single numbers, lists, and ranges. Hyphens take
precedence over commas. For example:
WX1200# display port status 1-3,6
Virtual LAN The names of virtual LANs (VLANs), which are used in Mobility Domain™
Identification communications, are set by you and can be changed. In contrast, VLAN
ID numbers, which the wireless LAN uses locally, are determined when
the VLAN is first configured and cannot be changed. Unless otherwise
indicated, you can refer to a VLAN by either its VLAN name or its VLAN
number. CLI set and display commands use a VLAN’s name or number
to uniquely identify the VLAN within the WX.

quickstart
Runs a script that interactively helps you configure a new switch.
(For more information, see the “CLI quickstart Command” section of the
“WX Setup Methods” chapter in the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller
Configuration Guide.)
CAUTION: The quickstart command is for configuration of a new switch
only. After prompting you for verification, the command erases the
switch’s configuration before continuing. If you run this command on a
switch that already has a configuration, the configuration will be erased.
In addition, error messages such as “Critical AP Notice” for directly
connected MAPs can appear.
set auto-config
Enables a WX switch to contact a 3WXM server for its configuration.
Syntax — set auto-config {enable | disable}
enable— Enables the switch to contact a 3WXM server to request a
configuration.
disable— Disables the auto-config option.
Defaults — The auto-config option is automatically enabled on an
unconfigured WXR100 when the factory reset switch is pressed during
power on. However, auto-config is disabled by default on other models.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — A network administrator at the corporate office can
preconfigure the switch in a 3WXM network plan. The switch
configuration must have a name for the switch, the model must be
WXR100, and the serial number must match the switch’s serial number.
The configuration should also include all other settings required for the
deployment, including MAP configuration, SSIDs, AAA settings, and so
on.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set auto-config
49
When the 3WXM server in the corporate network receives the
configuration request, the server looks in the currently open network
plan for a switch configuration with the same model and serial number as
the one in the configuration request.
If the network plan contains a configuration with a matching model
and serial number, 3WXM sends the configuration to the switch and
restarts the switch. The switch boots using the configuration it
received from 3WXM.
If the network plan does not have a configuration with a matching
model and serial number, a verification warning appears in 3WXM.
The warning lists the switch’s serial number and IP address. The
network administrator can upload the switch into the network plan,
configure switch parameters, and deploy the configuration to the
switch.
To use the auto-config option with a new (unconfigured) WXR100, insert
a paperclip or similar object into the WXR100’s factory reset hole to press
the switch. The factory reset switch must be held for about 3 seconds
while the factory reset LED (the right LED above port 1) is lit. Normally,
this LED remains solidly lit for 3 seconds after power on. However, when
the factory reset switch is pressed, the LED flashes for 3 seconds instead.
If you want another WX switch model to be able to access a 3WXM
server for a configuration, you also must preconfigure the WX with the
following information:
IP address
Gateway address
Domain name and DNS server address
You can enable the switch to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain this
information from a DHCP server in the local network where the switch
will be deployed. Alternatively, you can statically configure the
information.
The IP address and DNS information are configured independently. You
can configure the combination of settings that work with the network
resources available at the deployment site. The following examples show
some of the combinations you can configure.

CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM SERVICE COMMANDS
Examples — The following commands stage a WX switch to use the
auto-config option. The network where the switch is installed has a DHCP
server, so the switch is configured to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain
an IP address, default gateway address, DNS domain name, and DNS
server IP addresses:
1 Configure a VLAN:
WX-1200# set vlan 1 port 7
success: change accepted.
2 Enable the DHCP client on VLAN 1:
WX-1200# set interface 1 ip dhcp-client enable
success: change accepted.
3 Enable the auto-config option:
WX-1200# set auto-config enable
success: change accepted.

CHAPTER 4: PORT COMMANDS
MAP access point models AP2750, MP-241, and MP-341 have a single
radio that can be configured for 802.11a or 802.11b/g. Other MAP
models have two radios. On two-radio models, one radio is always
802.11a. The other radio is 802.11b/g, but can be configured for
802.11b or 802.11g exclusively. If the country of operation specified by
the set system countrycode command does not allow 802.11g, the
default is 802.11b.
MAP radios configured for 802.11g also allow associations from 802.11b
clients by default. To disable support for 802.11b associations, use the
set radio-profile 11g-only command on the radio profile that contains
the radio.
The radios in models MP-620 require external antennas, and model
MP-262 requires an external antenna for the 802.11b/g radio. The
following models have internal antennas but also have connectors for
optional use of external antennas instead: AP2750, AP3750, AP7250,
AP8250, AP8750, MP-372, MP-372-CN, and MP-372-JP. (Antenna
support on a specific model is limited to the antennas certified for use
with that model.) To specify the antenna model, use the set {ap | dap}
radio antennatype command.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. New values for model option
added in Version 4.1:
AP3750
AP2750
Usage — You cannot set a port’s type if the port is a member of a port
VLAN. To remove a port from a VLAN, use the clear vlan command. To
reset a port as a network port, use the clear port type command.
When you change port type, MSS applies default settings appropriate for

type
For 802.1X clients, wired authentication works only if the clients are
directly attached to the wired authentication port, or are attached
through a hub that does not block forwarding of packets from the client
to the PAE group address (01:80:c2:00:00:03).
Wired authentication works in accordance with the 802.1X specification,
which prohibits a client from sending traffic directly to an authenticator’s
MAC address until the client is authenticated. Instead of sending traffic to
the authenticator’s MAC address, the client sends packets to the PAE
group address.

96
CHAPTER 4: PORT COMMANDS
The 802.1X specification prohibits networking devices from forwarding
PAE group address packets, because this would make it possible for
multiple authenticators to acquire the same client.
For non-802.1X clients, who use MAC authentication, WebAAA, or
last-resort authentication, wired authentication works if the clients are
directly attached or indirectly attached.
Examples — The following command sets port 2 for a wired
authentication user:
WX1200# set port type wired-auth 2
success: change accepted
The following command sets port 7 for a wired authentication user and
specifies a maximum of three simultaneous user sessions:
WX1200# set port type wired-auth 7 max-sessions 3
success: change accepted

set security
Restricts Layer 2 forwarding between clients in the same VLAN. When
you restrict Layer 2 forwarding in a VLAN, MSS allows Layer 2 forwarding
only between a client and a set of MAC addresses, generally the VLAN’s
gateway routers. Clients within the VLAN are not permitted to
l
2-restrict
communicate among themselves directly. To communicate with another
client, the client must use one of the specified gateway routers.
Syntax — set security l2-restrict vlan vlan-id
[mode {enable | disable}] [permit-mac mac-addr [mac-addr]]
vlan-id— VLAN name or number.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set security l2-restrict 115
mode— Enables or disables restriction of Layer 2 forwarding.
{enable | disable}
permit-mac mac-addr — MAC addresses to which clients are
[mac-addr]
allowed to forward data at Layer 2. You
can specify up to four addresses.
Defaults — Layer 2 restriction is disabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.1.
Usage — You can specify multiple addresses by listing them on the same
command line or by entering multiple commands. To change a MAC
address, use the clear security 12-restrict command to remove it, then
use the set security 12-restrict command to add the correct address.
Restriction of client traffic does not begin until you enable the permitted
MAC list. Use the mode enable option with this command
Examples — The following command restricts Layer 2 forwarding of
client data in VLAN abc_air to the gateway routers with MAC address
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff and 11:22:33:44:55:66:
WX4400# set security 12-restrict vlan abc_air mode enable
permit-mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 11:22:33:44:55:66
success: change accepted.

CHAPTER 5: VLAN COMMANDS
set vlan name
Creates a VLAN and assigns a number and name to it.
Syntax — set vlan vlan-num name name
vlan-num— VLAN number. You can specify a number from 2
through 4093.
name— String up to 16 alphabetic characters long.
Defaults — VLAN 1 is named default by default. No other VLANs have
default names.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You must assign a name to a VLAN (other than the default
VLAN) before you can add ports to the VLAN.
3Com recommends that you do not use the name default. This name is
already used for VLAN 1. 3Com also recommends that you do not
rename the default VLAN.
You cannot use a number as the first character in a VLAN name. 3Com
recommends that you do not use the same name with different
capitalizations for VLANs. For example, do not configure two separate
VLANs with the names red and RED.
VLAN names are case-sensitive for RADIUS authorization when a client
roams to a wireless LAN switch. If the WX switch is not configured with
the VLAN the client is on, but is configured with a VLAN that has the
same spelling but different capitalization, authorization for the client fails.
For example, if the client is on VLAN red but the WX switch to which the
client roams has VLAN RED instead, RADIUS authorization fails.
Examples — The following command assigns the name marigold to
VLAN 3:
WX4400# set vlan 3 name marigold
success: change accepted.

set vlan port 117
set vlan port
Assigns one or more network ports to a VLAN. You also can add a virtual
port to each network port by adding a tag value to the network port.
Syntax — set vlan vlan-id port port-list [tag tag-value]
vlan-id— VLAN name or number.
portport-list— List of physical ports.
tagtag-value— Tag value that identifies a virtual port. You can
specify a value from 1 through 4093.
By default, no ports are members of any VLANs. A wireless LAN switch
cannot forward traffic on the network until you configure VLANs and add
network ports to the VLANs.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You can combine this command with the set port name
command to assign the name and add the ports at the same time.
If you do not specify a tag value, the WX switch sends untagged frames
for the VLAN. If you do specify a tag value, the WX sends tagged frames
only for the VLAN.
If you do specify a tag value, 3Com recommends that you use the same
value as the VLAN number. MSS does not require the VLAN number and
tag value to be the same but some other switches do.
Examples — The following command assigns the name beige to VLAN
11 and adds ports 1 through 3 to the VLAN:
WX1200# set vlan 11 name beige port 1-3
success: change accepted.
The following command adds port 6 to VLAN beige and assigns tag value
86 to the port:
WX1200# set vlan beige port 6 tag 86
success: change accepted.

CHAPTER 5: VLAN COMMANDS
set vlan
tunnel-affinity
Changes a wireless LAN switch’s preferability within a mobility domain
for tunneling user traffic for a VLAN. When a user roams to a WX switch
that is not a member of the user’s VLAN, the WX can forward the user
traffic by tunneling to another WX switch that is a member of the VLAN.
Syntax — set vlan vlan-id tunnel-affinity num
vlan-id— VLAN name or number.
num— Preference of this switch for forwarding user traffic for the
VLAN. You can specify a value from 1 through 10. A higher number
indicates a greater preference.
Defaults — Each VLAN on a WX switch’s network ports has an affinity
value of 5 by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Increasing a WX switch’s affinity value increases the WX’s
preferability for forwarding user traffic for the VLAN.
If more than one WX switch has the highest affinity value, MSS randomly
selects one of the WX switches for the tunnel.
Examples — The following command changes the VLAN affinity for
VLAN beige to 10:
WX4400# set vlan beige tunnel-affinity 10
success: change accepted.

Use Quality of Service (QoS) commands to configure packet prioritization
in MSS. Packet prioritization ensures that WX switches and MAP access
points give preferential treatment to high-priority traffic such as voice and
video.
(To override the prioritization for specific traffic, use access controls lists
[ACLs] to set the Class of Service [CoS] for the packets. See “Security ACL

CHAPTER 6: QUALITY OF SERVICE COMMANDS
clear qos
Resets the switch’s mapping of Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)
values to internal QoS values.
The switch’s internal QoS map ensures that prioritized traffic remains
prioritized while transiting through the WX switch. A WX switch uses the
QoS map to do the following:
Classify inbound packets by mapping their DSCP values to one of
eight internal QoS values
Classify outbound packets by marking their DSCP values based on the
switch’s internal QoS values
Syntax — clear qos [cos-to-dscp-map [from-qos] |
dscp-to-cos-map [from-dscp]]
cos-to-dscp-map— Resets the mapping between the specified
internal QoS value and the DSCP values with which MSS marks
outbound packets. QoS values are from 0 to 7.
dscp-to-cos-map— Resets the mapping between the specified range
of DSCP values and internal QoS value with which MSS classifies
inbound packets.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.1.
Usage — To reset all mappings to their default values, use the clear qos
command without the optional parameters.
Examples — The following command resets all QoS mappings:
WX1200# clear qos
success: change accepted.
The following command resets the mapping used to classify packets with
DSCP value 44:
WX1200# clear qos dscp-to-qos-map 44
success: change accepted.

set qos cos-to-dscp-map 121
set qos
cos-to-dscp-map
Changes the value to which MSS maps an internal QoS value when
marking outbound packets.
Syntax — set qos cos-to-dscp-map level dscp dscp-value
level— Internal CoS value. You can specify a number from 0 to 7.
dscp dscp-value— DSCP value. You can specify the value as a
decimal number. Valid values are 0 to 63.
Defaults — The defaults are listed by the display qos command.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.1.
Examples — The following command maps internal CoS value 5 to
DSCP value 50:
WX1200# set qos cos-to-dscp-map 5 dscp 50
warning: cos 5 is marked with dscp 50 which will be
classified as cos 6
If the change results in a change to CoS, MSS displays a warning message
indicating the change. In this example, packets that receive CoS 5 upon
ingress will be marked with a DSCP value equivalent to CoS 6 upon
egress.

CHAPTER 6: QUALITY OF SERVICE COMMANDS
set qos
dscp-to-cos-map
Changes the internal QoS value to which MSS maps a packet’s DSCP
value when classifying inbound packets.
Syntax — set qos dscp-to-cos-map dscp-range cos level
dscp-range— You can specify the values as decimal numbers. Valid
decimal values are 0 to 63. To specify a range, use the following
format: 40-56. Specify the lower number first.
cos level — Internal QoS value. You can specify a number from
0 to 7.
Defaults — The defaults are listed by the display qos command.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.1.
Examples — The following command maps DSCP values 40-56 to
internal CoS value 6:
WX1200# set qos dscp-to-cos-map 40-56 cos 6
warning: cos 5 is marked with dscp 63 which will be
classified as cos 7
warning: cos 7 is marked with dscp 56 which will be
classified as cos 6
As shown in this example, if the change results in a change to CoS, MSS
displays a warning message indicating the change.

display ip route 147
Usage — When you add an IP interface to a VLAN that is up, MSS adds
direct and local routes for the interface to the route table. If the VLAN is
down, MSS does not add the routes. If you add an interface to a VLAN
but the routes for that interface do not appear in the route table, use the
display vlan config command to check the VLAN state.
If you add a static route and the route’s state is shown as Down, use the
display interface command to verify that the route has an IP interface in
the gateway router’s subnet. MSS cannot resolve a static route unless one
of the WX switch’s VLANs has an interface in the gateway router’s
subnet. If the WX switch has such an interface but the static route is still
down, use the display vlan config command to check the state of the
VLAN’s ports.
Examples — The following command shows all routes in a WX switch’s
IP route table:
WX4400# display ip route

Field
Description
NH-Type
Next-hop type:
Local — Route is for a local interface. MSS adds the route
when you configure an IP address on the WX switch.
Direct — Route is for a locally attached subnet. MSS adds
the route when you add an interface in the same subnet to
the WX switch.
Router — Route is for a remote destination. A WX switch
forwards traffic for the destination to the gateway router.
Gateway
Next-hop router for reaching the route destination.
This field applies only to static routes.
VLAN:Interface
Destination VLAN, protocol type, and IP address of the route.
Because direct routes are for local interfaces, a destination IP
address is not listed.
The destination for the IP multicast route is MULTICAST.
For static routes, the value Down means the WX switch does not
have an interface to the destination’s next-hop router. To
provide an interface, configure an IP interface that is in the same
IP subnet as the next-hop router. The IP interface must be on a
VLAN containing the port that is attached to the gateway
router.

set ip route
Adds a static route to the IP route table.
Syntax — set ip route {default | ip-addr mask |
ip-addr/mask-length} gateway metric
default— Default route. A WX switch uses the default route if an
explicit route is not available for the destination.
Default is an alias for IP address 0.0.0.0/0.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
168
CHAPTER 7: IP SERVICES COMMANDS
ip-addr mask— IP address and subnet mask for the route
destination, in dotted decimal notation (for example, 10.10.10.10
255.255.255.0).
ip-addr/mask-length— IP address and subnet mask length in CIDR
format (for example, 10.10.10.10/24).
gateway— IP address, DNS hostname, or alias of the next-hop router.
metric— Cost for using the route. You can specify a value from
0 through 2,147,483,647. Lower-cost routes are preferred over
higher-cost routes.
Defaults — The HTTPS server is enabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
Usage — MSS can use a static route only if a direct route in the route
table resolves the static route. MSS adds routes with next-hop types Local
and Direct when you add an IP interface to a VLAN, if the VLAN is up. If
one of these added routes can resolve the static route, MSS can use the
static route.
Before you add a static route, use the display interface command to
verify that the WX switch has an IP interface in the same subnet as the
route’s next-hop router. If not, the VLAN:Interface field of the display ip
route command output shows that the route is down.
You can configure a maximum of 4 routes per destination. This includes
default routes, which have destination 0.0.0.0/0. Each route to a given
destination must have a unique gateway address. When the route table
contains multiple default or explicit routes to the same destination, MSS
uses the route with the lowest cost. If two or more routes to the same
destination have the lowest cost, MSS selects the first route in the route
table.
When you add multiple routes to the same destination, MSS groups the
routes and orders them from lowest cost at the top of the group to
highest cost at the bottom of the group. If you add a new route that has
the same destination and cost as a route already in the table, MSS places
the new route at the top of the group of routes with the same cost.

Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The inform or trap option specifies whether the MSS SNMP
engine expects the target to acknowledge notifications sent to the target
by the WX switch. Use inform if you want acknowledgements. Use trap
if you do not want acknowledgements. The inform option is applicable
to SNMP version v2c or usm only.
Examples — The following command configures a notification target for
acknowledged notifications:

CHAPTER 7: IP SERVICES COMMANDS
Examples — The following example traces the route to host server1:
WX4400# traceroute server1
traceroute to server1.example.com (192.168.22.7), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 engineering-1.example.com (192.168.192.206) 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms
2 engineering-2.example.com (192.168.196.204) 2 ms 3 ms 2 ms
3 gateway_a.example.com (192.168.1.201) 6 ms 3 ms 3 ms
4 server1.example.com (192.168.22.7) 3 ms * 2 ms
The first row of the display indicates the target host, the maximum
number of hops, and the packet size. Each numbered row displays
information about one hop. The rows are displayed in the order in which
the hops occur, beginning with the hop closest to the WX switch.
The row for a hop lists the total time in milliseconds for each ICMP packet
to reach the router or host, plus the time for the ICMP Time Exceeded
message to return to the host.
An exclamation point (!) following any of these values indicates that the
Port Unreachable message returned by the destination has a maximum
hop count of 0 or 1. This can occur if the destination uses the maximum
hop count value from the arriving packet as the maximum hop count in
its ICMP reply. The reply does not arrive at the source until the destination
receives a traceroute packet with a maximum hop count equal to the
number of hops between the source and destination.
An asterisk (*) indicates that the timeout period expired before MSS
received a Time Exceeded message for the packet.
If Traceroute receives an ICMP error message other than a Time Exceeded
or Port Unreachable message, MSS displays one of the error codes
asterisk (*).

CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
The syntax descriptions for the set authentication commands have been
separated for clarity. However, the options and behavior for the set
authentication admin command are the same as in previous releases.
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users. (For details, see “User Globs, MAC Address
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
console command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear
in the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and
so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
ignores any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the RADIUS server group.
If a AAA rule specifies local as a secondary AAA method, to be used if the
RADIUS servers are unavailable, and MSS authenticates a client with the
local method, MSS starts again at the beginning of the method list when
attempting to authorize the client. This can cause unexpected delays
during client processing and can cause the client to time out before
completing logon.
Examples — The following command configures administrator Jose,
who connects via Telnet, for authentication on RADIUS server group sg3:
WX4400# set authentication admin Jose sg3
success: change accepted.

Cannot be used with RADIUS server authentication (requires user
information to be in the switch’s local database)
peap-mschapv2— Protected EAP (PEAP) with Microsoft Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (MS-CHAP-V2). For
wireless clients:
Uses TLS for encryption and data integrity checking and server-side
authentication
Provides MS-CHAP-V2 mutual authentication
Only the server side of the connection needs a certificate.
The wireless client authenticates using TLS to set up an encrypted
session. Then MS-CHAP-V2 performs mutual authentication using
the specified AAA method.
pass-through— MSS sends all the EAP protocol processing to a
RADIUS server.
EAP-MD5 does not work with Microsoft wired authentication clients.
method1,method2,method3,method4— At least one and up to four
methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.
A method can be one of the following:
local— Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on
the WX switch for authentication.
server-group-name— Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers
for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.
RADIUS servers cannot be used with the EAP-TLS protocol.
For more information, see “Usage.”
Defaults — By default, authentication is unconfigured for all clients with
network access through MAP ports or wired authentication ports on the
WX switch. Connection, authorization, and accounting are also disabled
for these users.
Bonded authentication is disabled by default.

set authentication dot1x 235
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users by “globbing.” (For details, see “User Globs” on
page 26.)
You can configure a rule either for wireless access to an SSID, or for wired
access through a WX switch’s wired authentication port. If the rule is for
wireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or specify any to match
on all SSID names. If the rule is for wired access, specify wired instead of
an SSID name.
You cannot configure client authentication that uses both the EAP-TLS
protocol and one or more RADIUS servers. EAP-TLS authentication is
supported only on the local WX database.
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
dot1x command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear in
the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the server group.
If the user does not support 802.1X, MSS attempts to perform MAC
authentication for the user. In this case, if the switch’s configuration
contains a set authentication mac command that matches the SSID the
user is attempting to access and the user’s MAC address, MSS uses the
method specified by the command. Otherwise, MSS uses local MAC
authentication by default.
If the username does not match an authentication rule for the SSID the
user is attempting to access, MSS uses the fallthru authentication type
configured for the SSID, which can be last-resort, web (for WebAAA),
or none.

method1, method2, method3, method4— At least one of up to four
methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.
A method can be one of the following:
local— Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on
the WX switch for authentication.
server-group-name— Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers
for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.
For more information, see “Usage.”
Defaults — By default, authentication is unconfigured for all clients with
network access through MAP ports or wired authentication ports on the
WX switch. Connection, authorization, and accounting are also disabled
for these users. When using RADIUS for authentication, a last-resort
user’s default authorization password is 3Com.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users by “globbing.” (For details, see “User Globs” on
page 26.)
You can configure a rule either for wireless access to an SSID, or for wired
access through a WX switch’s wired authentication port. If the rule is for
wireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or specify any to match

CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the server group.
MSS uses a last-resort authentication rule under the following conditions:
The client is not denied access by 802.1X or does not support 802.1X.
The client’s MAC address does not match a MAC authentication rule.
The fallthru method is last-resort. (For a wireless authentication rule,
the fallthru method is specified by the set service-profile
auth-fallthru command. For a wired authentication rule, the fallthru
method is specified by the auth-fall-thru option of the set port type
wired-auth command.)
For wireless access, MSS appends the requested SSID name to the user
name last-resort. For example, if the requested SSID is mycorp, MSS
attempts to authenticate the user last-resort-mycorp. If the RADIUS server
or local database used as the authentication method has the user
last-resort-mycorp, access is granted. Otherwise, access is denied.
If the SSID specified in the last-resort authentication rule is any, MSS
searches for user last-resort-any. The any in the username is not a
wildcard. The username must be last-resort-any, exactly as spelled here.
Examples — The following command configures a last-resort
authentication rule in the local WX database for SSID mycorp:
WX4400# set authentication last-resort ssid mycorp local
success: change accepted.

ssidssid-name— SSID name to which this authentication rule
applies. To apply the rule to all SSIDs, type any.
wired— Applies this authentication rule specifically to users
connected to a wired authentication port.
mac-addr-glob— A single user or set of users with access via a MAC
address. Specify a MAC address, or use the wildcard (*) character to
specify a set of MAC addresses. (For details, see “MAC Address
method1, method2, method3, method4— At least one of up to four
methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.
A method can be one of the following:
local— Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on
the WX switch for authentication.
server-group-name— Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers
for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.
For more information, see “Usage.”
Defaults — By default, authentication is deactivated for all MAC users,
which means MAC address authentication fails by default. When using
RADIUS for authentication, a MAC user’s MAC address is also used as the
authorization password for that user, and no global authorization
password is set.
Access — Enabled.

Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of MAC addresses by “globbing.” (For details, see “User
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
mac command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear in
the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
ignores any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the RADIUS server group.
If the switch’s configuration contains a set authentication mac
command that matches the SSID the user is attempting to access and the
user’s MAC address, MSS uses the method specified by the command.
Otherwise, MSS uses local MAC authentication by default.
If the username does not match an authentication rule for the SSID the
user is attempting to access, MSS uses the fallthru authentication type
configured for the SSID, which can be last-resort, web (for WebAAA),
or none.
Examples — To use the local WX database to authenticate all users who
access the mycorp2 SSID by their MAC address, type the following
command:

Configures an authentication rule to allow a user to log in to the network
using a web page served by the WX switch. The rule can be activated if
the user is not otherwise granted or denied access by 802.1X, or granted
access by MAC authentication.
Syntax — set authentication web {ssid ssid-name | wired}
user-glob method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]
user-glob— A single user or a set of users.
Specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard character (**) to

set authentication web 243
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users by “globbing.” (For details, see “User Globs” on
page 26.)
You can configure a rule either for wireless access to an SSID, or for wired
access through a WX switch’s wired authentication port. If the rule is for
wireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or specify any to match
on all SSID names. If the rule is for wired access, specify wired instead of
an SSID name.
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
web command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear in
the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and
so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the server group.
MSS uses a WebAAA rule only under the following conditions:
The client is not denied access by 802.1X or does not support 802.1X.
The client’s MAC address does not match a MAC authentication rule.
The fallthru method is web. (For a wireless authentication rule, the
fallthru method is specified by the set service-profile auth-fallthru
command. For a wired authentication rule, the fallthru method is
specified by the auth-fall-thru option of the set port type wired-auth
command.)
Examples — The following command configures a WebAAA rule in the
local WX database for SSID ourcorp and userglob rnd*:
WX4400# set authentication web ssid ourcorp rnd* local
success: change accepted.

CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
set location policy
Creates and enables a location policy on an WX switch. The location
policy enables you to locally set or change authorization attributes for a
user after the user is authorized by AAA, without making changes to the
AAA server.
Syntax — set location policy deny if {ssid operator ssid-name
| vlan operator vlan-glob | user operator user-glob | port
port-list | dap dap-num} [before rule-number | modify
rule-number ]
Syntax — set location policy permit
{vlan vlan-name | inacl inacl-name | outacl outacl-name}
if {ssid operator ssid-name | vlan operator vlan-glob | user
operator user-glob | port port-list | dap dap-num}
[before rule-number | modify rule-number]
deny— Denies access to the network to users with characteristics that
match the location policy rule.
permit— Allows access to the network or to a specified VLAN,
and/or assigns a particular security ACL to users with characteristics
that match the location policy rule.
Action options— For a permit rule, MSS changes the attributes
assigned to the user to the values specified by the following options:
vlanvlan-name— Name of an existing VLAN to assign to users with
characteristics that match the location policy rule.
inaclinacl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to apply to
packets sent to the WX switch with characteristics that match the
location policy rule.
Optionally, you can add the suffix .in to the name.
outacloutacl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to apply to
packets sent from the WX switch with characteristics that match the
location policy rule.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set location policy 245
Optionally, you can add the suffix .out to the name.
Condition options — MSS takes the action specified by the rule if
all conditions in the rule are met. You can specify one or more of the
following conditions:
ssid operator ssid-name — SSID with which the user is associated.
The operator must be eq, which applies the location policy rule to all
users associated with the SSID. Asterisks (wildcards) are not supported
in SSID names. You must specify the complete SSID name.
vlan operatorvlan-glob— VLAN-Name attribute assigned by AAA
and condition by which to determine if the location policy rule applies.
Replace operator with one of the following operands:
eq— Applies the location policy rule to all users assigned VLAN
names matching vlan-glob.
neq— Applies the location policy rule to all users assigned VLAN
names not matching vlan-glob.
For vlan-glob, specify a VLAN name, use the double-asterisk wildcard
character (**) to specify all VLAN names, or use the single-asterisk
wildcard character (*) to specify a set of VLAN names up to or
following the first delimiter character, either an at sign (@) or a period
useroperator user-glob— Username and condition by which to
determine if the location policy rule applies. Replace operator with
one of the following operands:
eq — Applies the location policy rule to all usernames matching
user-glob.
neq— Applies the location policy rule to all usernames not
matching user-glob.
For user-glob, specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard
character (**) to specify all usernames, or use the single-asterisk
wildcard character (*) to specify a set of usernames up to or following
the first delimiter character, either an at sign (@) or a period (.). (For
details, see “User Globs” on page 26.)
beforerule-number— Inserts the new location policy rule in front of
another rule in the location policy. Specify the number of the existing
location policy rule. (To determine the number, use the display
location policy command.)
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
246
CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
modifyrule-number — Replaces the rule in the location policy with
the new rule. Specify the number of the existing location policy rule.
(To determine the number, use the display location policy
command.)
portport-list— List of physical port(s) by which to determine if the
location policy rule applies.
Defaults — By default, users are permitted VLAN access and assigned
security ACLs according to the VLAN-Name and Filter-Id attributes
applied to the users during normal authentication and authorization.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. SSID option added in MSS
Version 3.2.
Usage — Only a single location policy is allowed per WX switch. Once
configured, the location policy becomes effective immediately. To disable
location policy operation, use the clear location policy command.
Conditions within a rule are ANDed. All conditions in the rule must match
for MSS to take the specified action. If the location policy contains
multiple rules, MSS compares the user information to the rules one at a
time, in the order the rules appear in the switch’s configuration file,
beginning with the rule at the top of the list. MSS continues comparing
until a user matches all conditions in a rule or until there are no more
rules.
The order of rules in the location policy is important to ensure users are
properly granted or denied access. To position rules within the location
policy, use before rule-number and modify rule-number in the set
location policy command, and the clear location policy rule-number
command.
When applying security ACLs:
Use inacl inacl-name to filter traffic that enters the switch from users via
a MAP access port or wired authentication port, or from the network via
a network port.
Use outacl outacl-name to filter traffic sent from the switch to users via a
MAP access port or wired authentication port, or from the network via a
network port.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set location policy 247
You can optionally add the suffixes .in and .out to inacl-name and
outacl-name so that they match the names of security ACLs stored in the
local WX database.
Examples — The following command denies network access to all users
at *.theirfirm.com, causing them to fail authorization:
WX4400# set location policy deny if user eq *.theirfirm.com
The following command authorizes access to the guest_1 VLAN for all
users who are not at *.wodefirm.com:
WX4400# set location policy permit vlan guest_1 if user neq
*.wodefirm.com
The following command authorizes users at *.ny.ourfirm.com to access
the bld4.tac VLAN instead, and applies the security ACL tac_24 to the
traffic they receive:
WX4400# set location policy permit vlan bld4.tac
outacl tac_24 if user eq *.ny.ourfirm.com
The following command authorizes access to users on VLANs with names
matching bld4.* and applies security ACLs svcs_2 to the traffic they send
and svcs_3 to the traffic they receive:
WX4400# set location policy permit inacl svcs_2 outacl svcs_3
if vlan eq bldg4.*
The following command authorizes users entering the network on WX
ports 1 and 2 to use the floor2 VLAN, overriding any settings from AAA:
WX4400# set location policy permit vlan floor2 if port 1-2
The following command places all users who are authorized for SSID
tempvendor_a into VLAN kiosk_1:
WX1200# set location policy permit vlan kiosk_1 iff ssid eq
tempvendor_a
success: change accepted

CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
set mac-user
Configures a user profile in the local database on the WX switch for a
user who can be authenticated by a MAC address, and optionally adds
the user to a MAC user group.
(To configure a MAC user profile in RADIUS, see the documentation for
your RADIUS server.)
Syntax — set mac-user mac-addr [group group-name]
mac-addr— MAC address of the user, in hexadecimal numbers
separated by colons (:). You can omit leading zeros.
group-name— Name of an existing MAC user group.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — MSS does not require MAC users to belong to user groups.
Users authenticated by MAC address can be authenticated only for
network access through the WX switch. MSS does not support passwords
for MAC users.
Examples — The following command creates a user profile for a user at
MAC address 01:02:03:04:05:06 and assigns the user to the eastcoasters
user group:
WX4400# set mac-user 01:02:03:04:05:06 group eastcoasters

MOBILITY DOMAIN COMMANDS
9
Use Mobility Domain commands to configure and manage Mobility
Domain groups.
A Mobility Domain is a system of WX switches and MAP access points
working together to support a roaming user (client). One WX switch acts
as a seed switch, which maintains and distributes a list of IP addresses of
the domain members.
3Com recommends that you run the same MSS version on all the WX
switches in a Mobility Domain.

NETWORK DOMAIN COMMANDS
10
10
Use Network Domain commands to configure and manage Network
Domain groups.
A Network Domain is a group of geographically dispersed Mobility Domains
that share information among themselves over a WAN link. This shared
information allows a user configured on a WX switch in one Mobility Domain
to establish connectivity on a WX switch in another Mobility Domain elsewhere
in the same Network Domain. The WX switch forwards the user traffic by
creating a VLAN tunnel to a WX switch in the remote Mobility Domain.
In a Network Domain, one or more WX switches serve as a seed switch.
At least one of the Network Domain seeds maintains a connection with
each of the member WX switches in the Network Domain. The Network
Domain seeds share information about the VLANs configured on their
members, so that all the Network Domain seeds have a common
database of VLAN information.

CHAPTER 10: NETWORK DOMAIN COMMANDS
set
Sets the IP address of a Network Domain seed. This command is used for
configuring a WX switch as a member of a Network Domain. You can
specify multiple Network Domain seeds and configure one as the primary
seed.
network-domain
mode member
seed-ip
Syntax — set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr
[affinity num]
ip-addr — IP address of the Network Domain seed, in dotted
decimal notation.
num — Preference for using the specified Network Domain seed. You
can specify a value from 1 through 10. A higher number indicates a
greater preference.
Defaults — The default affinity for a Network Domain seed is 5.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS 4.1.
Usage — You can specify multiple Network Domain seeds on the WX
switch. When the WX switch needs to connect to a Network Domain
seed, it first attempts to connect to the seed with the highest affinity. If
that seed is unavailable, the WX attempts to connect to the seed with the
next-highest affinity. After a connection is made to a non-highest-affinity
seed, the WX switch then periodically attempts to connect to the
highest-affinity seed.
Examples — The following command sets the WX switch as a member
of the Network Domain whose seed has the IP address 192.168.1.8:
WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.1.8
success: change accepted.
The following command sets the WX switch as a member of a Network
Domain whose seed has the IP address 192.168.9.254 and sets the
affinity for that seed to 7. If the WX switch specifies other Network
Domain seeds, and they are configured with the default affinity of 5,
then 192.168.9.254 becomes the primary Network Domain seed for this
WX switch.

set network-domain peer 281
WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.9.254
affinity 7
success: change accepted.
See Also
set
On a Network Domain seed, configures one or more WX switches as
redundant Network Domain seeds. The seeds in a Network Domain share
information about the VLANs configured on the member devices, so that
all the Network Domain seeds have the same database of VLAN
information.
network-domain
peer
Syntax — set network-domain peer ip-addr
ip-addr — IP address of the Network Domain seed to specify as a
peer, in dotted decimal notation.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS 4.1.
Usage — This command must be entered on a WX switch configured as
a Network Domain seed.
Examples — The following command sets the WX switch with IP address
192.168.9.254 as a peer of this Network Domain seed:
WX1200# set network-domain peer 192.168.9.254
success: change accepted.

282
CHAPTER 10: NETWORK DOMAIN COMMANDS
set
Creates a Network Domain by setting the current WX switch as a seed
device and naming the Network Domain.
network-domain
mode seed
Syntax — set network-domain mode seed domain-name
net-domain-name
domain-name
net-domain-name — Name of the Network Domain. Specify between
1 and 16 characters with no spaces.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS 4.1.
Usage — Before you use this command, the current WX switch must
have its IP address set with the set system ip-address command. After
you enter this command, Network Domain traffic is sent and received
from the specified IP address.
You can configure multiple WX switches as Network Domain seeds. If
you do this, you must identify them as peers by using the set network
domain peer command.
Examples — The following command creates a Network Domain named
California with the current WX switch as a seed:
WX1200# set network-domain mode seed domain-name California
success: change accepted.
The seed switch in a Network Domain must also be configured as a
member of the Network Domain, with the specified seed IP address
pointing to the seed itself.
set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr [affinity num]
For example, the following command sets the current WX switch as a
member of a Network Domain where the WX switch with IP address
192.168.9.254 is a seed:
WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.9.254
success: change accepted.

MANAGED ACCESS POINT
COMMANDS
11
Use MAP access point commands to configure and manage MAP access
points. Be sure to do the following before using the commands:
Define the country-specific IEEE 802.11 regulations on the WX switch.
Install the MAP access point and connect it to a port on the WX
switch.
Configure a MAP access port (for a directly connected MAP) or a
page 81.)
CAUTION: Changing the system country code after MAP configuration
disables MAP access points and deletes their configuration. If you change
the country code on a WX switch, you must reconfigure all MAP access
points.

Table 52 Output for display ap counters
Field
DAP
Port
Description
Distributed MAP number.
WX port number (if the MAP is directly connected to the WX
and the WX port is configured as a MAP access point).
radio
Radio number.
LastPktXferRate
Data transmit rate, in Mbps, of the last packet received by
the MAP access point.
NumCntInPwrSave
Number of clients currently in power save mode.
LastPktRxSigStrength Signal strength, in dBm, of the last packet received by the
MAP access point.
LastPktSigNoiseRatio Signal-to-noise ratio, in decibels (dB), of the last packet
received by the MAP access point.
This value indicates the strength of the radio signal above the
noise floor. For example, if the noise floor is -88 and the
signal strength is -68, the SNR is 20.
If the value is below 10, this indicates a weak signal and
might indicate a problem in the RF environment.
TKIP Pkt Transfer Ct Total number of TKIP packets sent and received by the radio.
TKIP Pkt Replays
Number of TKIP packets that were resent to the MAP by a
client.
A low value (under about one hundred) does not necessarily
indicate a problem. However, if this counter is increasing
steadily or has a very high value (in the hundreds or more), a
Denial of Service (DoS) attack might be occurring. Contact
3Com TAC.
CCMP Pkt Decrypt
Err
Number of times a decryption error occurred with a packet
encrypted with CCMP.
Occasional decryption errors do not indicate a problem.
However, steadily increasing errors or a high number of
errors can indicate that data loss is occurring in the network.
Generally, this is caused by a key mismatch between a client
and the MAP. To locate the client that is experiencing
decryption errors (and therefore is likely causing this counter
to increment on the MAP), use the display sessions
network session-id session-id command for each client on
the radio. After you identify the client that is causing the
errors, disable and reenable the client (wireless NIC).

Table 52 Output for display ap counters (continued)
Field
Description
CCMP Pkt Transfer
Ct
Total number of CCMP packets sent and received by the
radio.
Radio Recv Phy Err Ct Number of times radar caused packet errors. If this counter
increments rapidly, there is a problem in the RF environment.
This counter increments only when radar is detected.
Rate-specific Phy errors are instead counted in the PhyError
columns for individual data rates.
Radio Adjusted Tx
Pwr
Current power level set on the radio. If RF Auto-Tuning of
power is enabled, this value is the power set by RF
Auto-Tuning. If RF Auto-Tuning is disabled, this value is the
statically configured power level.
802.3 Packet Tx Ct
Number of raw 802.3 packets transmitted by the radio.
These are LocalTalk (AppleTalk) frames. This counter
increments only if LocalTalk traffic is present.
No Receive
Descriptor
Number of packets for which the MAP could not create a
descriptor. A descriptor describes a received packet’s size
and its location in MAP memory. The MAP buffers
descriptors, and clears them during interframe spaces.
This counter increments if the MAP runs out of buffers for
received packets. This condition can occur when a noise
burst temporarily floods the air and the MAP attempts to
buffer the noise as packets.
Buffer overruns are normal while a MAP is booting.
However, if they occur over an extended period of time
when the MAP is fully active, this can indicate RF
interference.
PktTxCount
Number of packets transmitted by the radio.
MultiPktDrop
Number of multicast packets dropped by the radio due to a
buffer overflow on the MAP. This counter increments if there
is too much multicast traffic or there is a problem with the
multicast packets. Normally, this counter should be 0.
MultiBytDrop
Number of multicast bytes dropped by the radio due to a
buffer overflow on the MAP. (See the description for
MultiPktDrop.)

CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
Table 52 Output for display ap counters (continued)
Field
Description
User Sessions
Number of clients currently associated with the radio.
Generally, this counter is equal to the number of sessions
listed for the radio in display sessions output. However, the
counter can differ from the counter in display sessions
output if a client is associated with the radio but has not yet
completed 802.1X authentication. In this case, the client is
counted by this counter but not in the display sessions
output.
Although there is no specific normal range for this counter, a
high or low number relative to other radios can mean the
radio is underutilized or overutilized relative to the other
radios. (However, if the clients are VoIP phones, a relatively
high number of clients does not necessarily mean
overutilization since voice clients consume less bandwidth on
average than data clients.)
MIC Error Ct
Number of times the radio received a TKIP-encrypted frame
with an invalid MIC.
Normally, the value of this counter should always be 0. If the
value is not 0, check the system log for MIC error messages
and contact 3Com TAC.
TKIP Decrypt Err
Number of times a decryption error occurred with a packet
encrypted with TKIP.
(See the description for CCMP Pkt Decrypt Err.)
CCMP Pkt Replays
Number of CCMP packets that were resent to the MAP by a
client.
(See the description for TKIP Pkt Replays.)
RadioResets
Number of times the radio has been reset. Generally, a reset
occurs as a result of RF noise. It is normal for this counter to
increment a few times per day.
Transmit Retries
Number of times the radio retransmitted a unicast packet
because it was not acknowledged. The MAP uses this
counter to adjust the transmit data rate for a client, in order
to minimize retries.
The ratio of transmit retries to transmitted packets (TxUniPkt)
indicates the overall transmit quality. A ratio of about 1 retry
to 10 transmitted packets indicates good transmit quality. A
ratio of 3 or more to 10 indicates poor transmit quality.
This counter includes unacknowledged probes. Some clients
do not respond to probes, which can make this counter
artificially high.

display {ap | dap} counters 299
Table 52 Output for display ap counters (continued)
Field
Description
Noise Floor
Received signal strength at which the MAP can no longer
distinguish 802.11 packets from ambient RF noise. A value
around -90 or higher is good for an 802.11b/g radio. A value
around -80 or higher is good for an 802.11a radio. Values
near 0 can indicate RF interference.
802.3 Packet Rx Ct
Number of raw 802.3 packets received by the radio. These
are LocalTalk (AppleTalk) frames. This counter increments
only if LocalTalk traffic is present.
The counters above are global for all data rates. The counters below are for
individual data rates.
If counters for lower data rates are incrementing but counters for higher data rates
are not incrementing, this can indicate poor throughput. The poor throughput can
be caused by interference. If the cause is not interference or the interference cannot
be eliminated, you might need to relocate the MAP in order to use the higher data
rates and therefore improve throughput.
TxUniPkt
TxMultiPkt
TxUniByte
TxMultiByte
RxPkt
Number of unicast packets transmitted by the radio..
Number of multicast packets transmitted by the radio.
Number of unicast bytes transmitted by the radio.
Number of multicast bytes transmitted by the radio.
Number of packets received by the radio.
RxByte
Number of bytes received by the radio.
UndcrptPkt
Number of undecryptable packets received by the radio. It is
normal for this counter to increment even in stable networks
and does not necessarily indicate an attack. For example, a
client might be sending incorrect key information. However,
if the counter increments rapidly, there might be a problem
in the network..
UndcrptByte
PhyError
Number of undecryptable bytes received by the radio. (See
the description for UndcrptPkt.)
Number of packets that could not be decoded by the MAP.
This condition can have any of the following causes:
Collision of an 802.11 packet.
Packet whose source is too far away, thus rendering the
packet unintelligible by the time it reaches the MAP.
Interference caused by an 802.11b/g phone or other
source.
It is normal for this counter to be about 10 percent of the
total RxByte count. It is also normal for higher data rates to
have higher Phy error counts than lower data rates.

Syntax — display dap connection
[dap-num | serial-id serial-ID]
dap-num— Number of a Distributed MAP for which to display
information about its active connection.
serial-idserial-ID— MAP access point serial ID.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — The serial-id parameter displays the active connection for the
specified Distributed MAP even if that MAP is not configured on this WX
switch. If you instead use the command with the dap-num parameter or
without a parameter, connection information is displayed only for
Distributed MAPs that are configured on this WX switch.
This command provides information only if the Distributed MAP is
configured on the switch where you use the command. The switch does
not need to be the one that booted the MAP, but it must have the MAP
in its configuration. Also, the switch that booted the MAP must be in the
same Mobility Domain as the switch where you use the command.
If a Distributed MAP is configured on this WX switch (or another WX
switch in the same Mobility Domain) but does not have an active
connection, the command does not display information for the MAP. To
show connection information for Distributed MAPs, use the display dap
global command on one of the switches where the MAPs are
configured.
Examples — The following command displays information for all
Distributed MAPs configured on this WX switch that have active
connections:

Description
Beacon Interval
Rate (in milliseconds) at which each MAP radio in the profile
advertises the beaconed SSID.
DTIM Interval
Number of times after every beacon that each MAP radio in
the radio profile sends a delivery traffic indication map
(DTIM).
Max Tx Lifetime
Max Rx Lifetime
Number of milliseconds that a frame received by a radio in
the radio profile can remain in buffer memory.
Number of milliseconds that a frame scheduled to be
transmitted by a radio in the radio profile can remain in
buffer memory.
RTS Threshold
Minimum length (in bytes) a frame can be for a radio in the
radio profile to use the RTS/CTS method to send the frame.
The RTS/CTS method clears the air of other traffic to avoid
corruption of the frame due to a collision with another
frame.
Frag Threshold
Maximum length (in bytes) a frame is allowed to be without
being fragmented into multiple frames before transmission
by a radio in the radio profile.
Short Retry Limit
Number of times a radio in the radio profile can send a short
unicast frame without receiving an acknowledgment.

set dap auto mode 327
11a — 802.11a
11b — 802.11b
11g — 802.11g
Defaults — The default radio type for models AP2750, MP-241, and
MP-341, and for the 802.11b/g radios in other models is 802.11g in
regulatory domains that support 802.11g, or 802.11b in regulatory
domains that do not support 802.11g.

set {ap | dap} bias 329
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Option auto added for
configuration of the MAP configuration profile.
Usage — High bias is preferred over low bias. Bias applies only to WX
switches that are indirectly attached to the MAP through an intermediate
Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. A MAP always attempts to boot on MAP
port 1 first, and if an WX switch is directly attached on MAP port 1, the
MAP always boots from it.
If MAP port 1 is indirectly connected to WX switches through the
network, the MAP boots from the switch with the high bias for the MAP.
If the bias for all connections is the same, the MAP selects the switch that
has the greatest capacity to add more active MAPs. For example, if a MAP
is dual homed to two WX4400 wireless LAN switches, and one of the
switches has 50 active MAPs while the other switch has 60 active MAPs,
the new MAP selects the switch that has only 50 active MAPs.
If the boot request on MAP port 1 fails, the MAP attempts to boot over its
port 2, using the same process described above.
MAP selection of a WX switch is sticky. After a MAP selects a WX switch
to boot from, the MAP continues to use that switch for its active data link
even if another switch configured with high bias for the MAP becomes
available.
Examples — The following command changes the bias for a Distributed
MAP to low:
WX4400# set dap 1 bias low
success: change accepted.

MAP access points connected to ports 3 and 4:
WX1200# set ap 3-4 blink enable
success: change accepted.
set dap fingerprint
Verifies a MAP’s fingerprint on a WX switch. If MAP-WX security is
required by a WX switch, a MAP can establish a management session
with the switch only if you have verified the MAP’s identity by verifying its
fingerprint on the switch.
Syntax — set dap num fingerprint hex
num — Number of the Distributed MAP whose fingerprint you are
verifying.
hex — The 16-digit hexadecimal number of the fingerprint. Use a
colon between each digit. Make sure the fingerprint you enter
matches the fingerprint used by the MAP.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS 4.0.
Usage — MAPs are configured with an encryption key pair at the
factory. The fingerprint for the public key is displayed on a label on the
back of the MAP, in the following format:
RSA
aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:
aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa
If a MAP is already installed and operating, you can use the display dap
status command to display the fingerprint. The display dap config
command lists a MAP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has been verified
in MSS. If the fingerprint has not been verified, the fingerprint
information in the command output is blank.

channel.
dap auto — Sets the maximum retransmissions for radios configured
radio 1— Radio 1 of the MAP.
radio 2— Radio 2 of the MAP. (This option does not apply to
single-radio models.)
retransmissions— Percentage of packets that can result in
retransmissions without resulting in a channel change. You can
specify from 1 to 100.
Defaults — The default is 10 percent.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Option auto added for
configuration of the MAP configuration profile.
Usage — A retransmission is a packet sent from a client to a MAP radio
that the radio receives more than once. This can occur when the client
does not receive an 802.11 acknowledgement for a packet sent to the
radio.
If the radio receives only a single copy of a packet that is transmitted
multiple times by a client, the packet is not counted by the radio as a
retransmission. For example, if a packet is corrupted and the radio does
not receive it, but the second copy of the packet does reach the radio,
the radio does not count the packet as a retransmission since the radio
received only one recognizable copy of the packet.

338
CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
The interval is 1000 packets. If more than the specified percentage of
packets within a group of 1000 packets received by the radio are
retransmissions, the radio increases power.
When the percentage of retransmissions exceeds the max-retransmissions
threshold, the radio does not immediately increase power. Instead, if the
data rate at which the radio is sending packets to the client is above the
minimum data rate allowed, the radio lowers the data rate by one
setting. If the retransmissions still exceed the maximum allowed, the
radio continues to lower the data rate, one setting at a time, until either
the retransmissions fall within the allowed percentile or the minimum
allowed data rate is reached.
If the retransmissions still exceed the threshold after the minimum
allowed data rate is reached, the radio increases power by 1 dBm. The
radio continues increasing the power in 1 dBm increments until the
retransmissions fall below the threshold.
After the retransmissions fall below the threshold, the radio reduces
power by 1 dBm. As long as retransmissions remain below the threshold,
the radio continues reducing power in 1 dBm increments until it returns
to its default power level.
A radio also can increase power, in 1 dBm increments, if a client falls
below the minimum allowed data rate. After a radio increases power, all
clients must be at the minimum data rate or higher and the maximum
retransmissions must be within the allowed percentile, before the radio
begins reducing power again.
Examples — The following command changes the max-retransmissions
value to 20:
WX1200# set ap 6 radio 1 auto-tune max-retransmissions 20
success: change accepted.

set {ap | dap} radio mode 341
Usage — If the data rate for traffic sent by a radio to an associated client
falls below the default minimum rate, the radio increases power, in
1 dBm increments, until all clients are at or above the minimum rate.
After all clients are at or above the minimum data transmit rate, the radio
reduces power by 1 dBm. As long as the radio continues to transmit at
the minimum data rate or higher for all clients, the radio continues
reducing power in 1 dBm increments until it returns to its normal power
level.
A radio also can increase power, in 1 dBm increments, if more than the
allowed percentage of packets received by the radio from a client are
retransmissions. After a radio increases power, all clients must be at the
minimum data rate or higher and the maximum retransmissions must be
within the allowed percentile, before the radio begins reducing power
again.
Examples — The following command increases the minimum data rate
on radio 1, which is an 802.11b/g radio on the MAP access port on port
6, to 11 Mbps.

set dap security
Sets security requirements for management sessions between a WX
switch and its Distributed MAPs.
This feature applies to Distributed MAPs only, not to directly connected
MAPs configured on MAP access ports.
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for encrypted MAP management
traffic is 1498 bytes, whereas the MTU for unencrypted management
traffic is 1474 bytes. Make sure the devices in the intermediate network
between the WX switch and Distributed MAP can support the higher
MTU.
Syntax — set dap security {require | optional | none}
require — Requires all Distributed MAPs to have encryption keys
that have been verified in the CLI by an administrator. If a MAP does
not have an encryption key or the key has not been verified, the WX
does not establish a management session with the MAP.
optional — Allows MAPs to be managed by the switch even if they
do not have encryption keys or their keys have not been verified by an
administrator. Encryption is used for MAPs that support it.
none — Encryption is not used, even for MAPs that support it.
Defaults — The default setting is optional.
Access — Enabled.

346
CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
History —Introduced in MSS 4.0.
Usage — This parameter applies to all Distributed MAPs managed by the
switch. If you change the setting to required, the switch requires
Distributed MAPs to have encryption keys. The switch also requires their
fingerprints to be verified in MSS. When MAP security is required, a MAP
can establish a management session with the WX only if its fingerprint
has been verified by you in MSS.
A change to MAP security support does not affect management sessions
that are already established. To apply the new setting to a MAP, restart
the MAP.
Examples — The following command configures a WX to require
Distributed MAPs to have encryption keys:
WX4400# set dap security require

CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
Even when association of 802.11b clients is disabled, if an 802.11b/g
radio detects a beacon from an 802.11b network, the radio enters
protection mode to guard against interference.
The set radio-profile 11g-only command does not affect the radio
support configured with the set port type ap command. For example, if
you configure a radio to be 802.11b only when you set the port type, the
set radio-profile 11g-only enable command does not enable 802.11g
support on the radio.
Examples — The following command configures the 802.11b/g radios in
radio profile rp1 to allow associations from 802.11g clients only:
WX4400# set radio-profile rp1 11g-only enable
success: change accepted.

CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
RF Auto-Tuning of channels on 802.11a radios uses only the bottom
eight channels in the band (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64). To use a
higher channel number, you must disable RF Auto-Tuning of channels on
the radio profile the radio is in, and use the set {ap | dap} radio channel
command to statically configure the channel.
Examples — The following command disables dynamic channel tuning
for radios in the rp2 radio profile:
WX4400# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune channel-config
disable
success: change accepted.

channel-holddown
Sets the minimum number of seconds a radio in a radio profile must
remain at its current channel assignment before RF Auto-Tuning can
change the channel. The channel holddown provides additional stability
to the network by preventing the radio from changing channels too
rapidly in response to spurious RF anomalies such as short-duration
channel interference.
Syntax — set radio-profile name auto-tune channel-holddown

name— Radio profile name.
holddown— Minimum number of seconds a radio must remain on its
current channel setting before RF Auto-Tuning is allowed to change
the channel. You can specify from 0 to 65535 seconds.
Defaults — The default RF Auto-Tuning channel holddown is 900
seconds.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set radio-profile auto-tune channel-interval 351
Usage — The channel holddown applies even if RF anomalies occur that
normally cause an immediate channel change.
Examples — The following command changes the channel holddown
for radios in radio profile rp2 to 600 seconds:
WX4400# set radio-profile rp2 auto-tune channel-holddown 600
success: change accepted.

set radio-profile
auto-tune
channel-interval
Sets the interval at which RF Auto-Tuning decides whether to change the
channels on radios in a radio profile. At the end of each interval, MSS
processes the results of the RF scans performed during the previous
interval, and changes radio channels if needed.
Syntax — set radio-profile name auto-tune channel-interval
seconds
name— Radio profile name.
seconds— Number of seconds RF Auto-Tuning waits before
changing radio channels to adjust to RF changes, if needed. You can
specify from 0 to 65535 seconds.
Defaults — The default channel interval is 3600 seconds (one hour).
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — 3Com recommends that you use an interval of at least 300
seconds (5 minutes).
RF Auto-Tuning can change a radio’s channel before the channel interval
expires in response to RF anomalies. Even in this case, channel changes
cannot occur more frequently than the channel holddown interval.
If you set the interval to 0, RF Auto-Tuning does not reevaluate the
channel at regular intervals. However, RF Auto-Tuning can still change
the channel in response to RF anomalies.

CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
MAP radios can also issue countermeasures against interfering devices.
An interfering device is not part of the 3Com network but also is not a
rogue. No client connected to the device has been detected
communicating with any network entity listed in the forwarding database
(FDD) of any WX switch in the Mobility Domain. Although the interfering
device is not connected to your network, the device might be causing RF
interference with MAP radios.
Syntax — set radio-profile name countermeasures {all | rogue
| configured | none}
name — Radio profile name.
all — Configures radios to attack rogues and interfering devices.
rogue — Configures radios to attack rogues only.
configured — Configures radios to attack only devices in the attack
list on the WX switch (on-demand countermeasures). When this
option is specified, devices found to be rogues by other means, such

set radio-profile rts-threshold 365
Usage — Changing the preamble length value affects only the support
advertised by the radio. Regardless of the preamble length setting (short
or long), an 802.11b/g radio accepts and can generate 802.11b/g frames
with either short or long preambles.
If a client associated with an 802.11b/g radio uses long preambles for
unicast traffic, the MAP access point still accepts frames with short
preambles but does not transmit frames with short preambles. This
change also occurs if the access point overhears a beacon from an
802.11b/g radio on another access point that indicates the radio has
clients that require long preambles.
You must disable all radios that use a radio profile before you can change
parameters in the profile. Use the set radio-profile mode command
.
Examples — The following command configures 802.11b/g radios that
use the radio profile rp_long to advertise support for long preambles
instead of short preambles:
WX4400# set radio-profile rp_long preamble-length long
success: change accepted.
See Also
set radio-profile
rts-threshold
Changes the RTS threshold for the MAP radios in a radio profile. The RTS
threshold specifies the maximum length a frame can be before the radio
uses the RTS/CTS method to send the frame. The RTS/CTS method clears
the air of other traffic to avoid corruption of the frame due to a collision
with another frame.
Syntax — set radio-profile name rts-threshold threshold
name— Radio profile name.
threshold— Maximum frame length, in bytes. You can enter a value
from 256 through 3000.
Defaults — The default RTS threshold for a MAP radio is 2346 bytes.
Access — Enabled.

set radio-profile
wmm
Disables or reenables Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) on the MAP radios in a
radio profile.
Syntax — set radio-profile name wmm {enable | disable}
name — Radio profile name.
enable — Enables WMM.
disable — Disables WMM.
Defaults — WMM is enabled by default.
Access — Enabled.

set service-profile attr 371
If you plan to use SVP or another non-WMM type of prioritization, you
must configure ACLs to tag the packets. (See the “Enabling Prioritization
for Legacy Voice over IP” section in the “Configuring and Managing
Security ACLs” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller
Configuration Guide.)
Examples — The following command disables WMM in radio profile
radprofsvp:
WX4400# set radio-profile radprofsvp wmm disable
success: change accepted.

set service-profile
attr
Configures authorization attributes that are applied by default to users
accessing the SSID managed by the service profile. These SSID default
attributes are applied in addition to any supplied by the RADIUS server or
from the local database.
Syntax — set service-profile name attr attribute-name value
name — Service profile name.
attribute-name value — Name and value of an attribute you are
using to authorize SSID users for a particular service or session
characteristic. For a list of authorization attributes and values that you
ssid.
Defaults — By default, a service profile does not have any authorization
attributes set.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS 4.1.
Usage — To change the value of a default attribute for a service profile,
use the set service-profile attr command and specify a new value.

372
CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
The SSID default attributes are applied in addition to any attributes
supplied for the user by the RADIUS server or the local database. When the
same attribute is specified both as an SSID default attribute and through
AAA, then the attribute supplied by the RADIUS server or the local
database takes precedence over the SSID default attribute. If a location
policy is configured, the location policy rules also take precedence over
SSID default attributes. The SSID default attributes serve as a fallback when
neither the AAA process, nor a location policy, provides them.
For example, a service profile might be configured with the service-type
attribute set to 2. If a user accessing the SSID is authenticated by a
RADIUS server, and the RADIUS server returns the vlan-name attribute
set to orange, then that user will have a total of two attributes set:
service-type and vlan-name.
If the service profile is configured with the vlan-name attribute set to
blue, and the RADIUS server returns the vlan-name attribute set to
orange, then the attribute from the RADIUS server takes precedence; the
user is placed in the orange VLAN.
You can display the attributes for each connected user and whether they
are set through AAA or through SSID defaults by entering the display
sessions network verbose command. You can display the configured
SSID defaults by entering the display service-profile command.
Examples — The following command assigns users accessing the SSID
managed by service profile sp2 to VLAN blue:
WX4400# set service-prof sp2 attr vlan-name blue
success: change accepted.
The following command assigns users accessing the SSID managed by
service profile sp2 to the Mobility Profile tulip.
WX4400# set service-prof sp2 attr mobility-profile tulip
success: change accepted.
The following command limits the days and times when users accessing
the SSID managed by service profile sp2 can access the network, to 5
p.m. to 2 a.m. every weekday, and all day Saturday and Sunday:
WX1200# set service-prof sp2 attr time-of-day
Wk1700-0200,Sa,Su
success: change accepted.

set service-profile
auth-dot1x
Disables or reenables 802.1X authentication of Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) clients by MAP radios, when the WPA information element (IE) is
enabled in the service profile that is mapped to the radio profile that the
radios are using.
Syntax — set service-profile
name auth-dot1x {enable | disable}
name— Service profile name.
enable— Enables 802.1X authentication of WPA clients.
disable— Disables 802.1X authentication of WPA clients.
Defaults — When the WPA IE is enabled, 802.1X authentication of WPA
clients is enabled by default. If the WPA IE is disabled, the auth-dot1x
setting has no effect.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command does not disable dynamic WEP for non-WPA
clients. To disable dynamic WEP for non-WPA clients, enable the WPA IE
(if not already enabled) and disable the 40-bit WEP and 104-bit WEP
cipher suites in the WPA IE, if they are not already disabled.
To use 802.1X authentication for WPA clients, you also must enable the
WPA IE.
If you disable 802.1X authentication of WPA clients, the only method available
for authenticating the clients is preshared key (PSK) authentication. To use this,
you must enable PSK support and configure a passphrase or key.
Examples — The following command disables 802.1X authentication for
WPA clients that use service profile wpa_clients:
WX4400# set service-profile wpa_clients auth-dot1x disable
success: change accepted.

set service-profile
auth-fallthru
Specifies the authentication type for users who do not match an 802.1X or
MAC authentication rule for an SSID managed by the service profile. When
a user tries to associate with an SSID, MSS checks the authentication rules
for that SSID for a userglob that matches the username. If the SSID does
not have an authentication rule that matches the username, authentication
for the user falls through to the fallthru method.
The fallthru method is a service profile parameter, and applies to all
radios within the radio profiles that are mapped to the service profile.
Syntax — set service-profile name auth-fallthru
{last-resort | none | web-portal}
last-resort— Automatically authenticates the user and allows
access to the SSID requested by the user, without requiring a
username and password.
none— Denies authentication and prohibits the user from accessing
the SSID.
The fallthru authentication type none is different from the
authentication method none you can specify for administrative
access. The fallthru authentication type none denies access to a
network user. In contrast, the authentication method none allows
web-portal — Serves the user a web page from the WX switch’s
nonvolatile storage for secure login to the network.
Defaults — The default fallthru authentication type is web-auth.
If a username does not match a userglob in an authentication rule for the
SSID requested by the user, the WX switch that is managing the radio the
user is connected to redirects the user to a web page located on the WX
switch. The user must type a valid username and password on the web
page to access the SSID.

set service-profile auth-psk 375
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Option for WebAAA fallthru
authentication type changed from web-auth to web-portal in MSS
Version 4.1.
Usage — The last-resort fallthru authentication type allows any user to
access any SSID managed by the service profile. This method does not
require the user to provide a username or password. Use the last-resort
method only if none of the SSIDs managed by the service profile require
secure access.
The web-auth authentication type requires additional configuration
items. (See the “Configuring AAA for Network Users” chapter of the
Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.)
Examples — The following command sets the fallthru authentication for
SSIDS managed by the service profile rnd_lab to none:
WX4400# set service-profile rnd_lab auth-fallthru none
success: change accepted.

set service-profile
auth-psk
Enables preshared key (PSK) authentication of Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) clients by MAP radios in a radio profile, when the WPA
information element (IE) is enabled in the service profile.
Syntax — set service-profilenameauth-psk{enable|disable}
name— Service profile name.
enable— Enables PSK authentication of WPA clients.
disable— Disables PSK authentication of WPA clients.
Defaults — When the WPA IE is enabled, PSK authentication of WPA
clients is enabled by default. If the WPA IE is disabled, the auth-psk
setting has no effect.

376
CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command affects authentication of WPA clients only.
To use PSK authentication, you also must configure a passphrase or key.
In addition, you must enable the WPA IE.
The WebAAA fallthru authentication type is not supported in conjunction
with WPA encryption using preshared keys (PSK) for the same SSID. These
options are configurable together but are not compatible. WebAAA
traffic is not encrypted, whereas the PSK four-way handshake requires a
client to already be authenticated and for encryption to be in place.
Examples — The following command enables PSK authentication for
service profile wpa_clients:
WX4400# set service-profile wpa_clients auth-psk enable
success: change accepted.

set service-profile
beacon
Disables or reenables beaconing of the SSID managed by the service
profile.
A MAP radio responds to an 802.11 probe any request with only the
beaconed SSID(s). For a nonbeaconed SSID, radios respond only to
directed 802.11 probe requests that match the nonbeaconed SSID’s SSID
string.
When you disable beaconing for an SSID, the radio still sends beacon
frames, but the SSID name in the frames is blank.
Syntax — set service-profilenamebeacon{enable|disable}

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To use 104-bit WEP with WPA clients, you must also enable the
WPA IE.
When 104-bit WEP in WPA is enabled in the service profile, radios
managed by a radio profile that is mapped to the service profile can also
support non-WPA clients that use dynamic WEP.
To support WPA clients that use 40-bit dynamic WEP, you must enable
WEP with 40-bit keys. Use the set service-profile cipher-wep40
command.
Microsoft Windows XP does not support WEP with WPA. To configure a
service profile to provide dynamic WEP for XP clients, leave WPA disabled
and use the set service-profile wep commands.
To support non-WPA clients that use static WEP, you must configure
static WEP keys. Use the set service-profile wep key-index command.
Examples — The following command configures service profile sp2 to
use 104-bit WEP encryption:
WX4400# set service-profile sp2 cipher-wep104 enable

SECURITY ACL COMMANDS
14
Use security ACL commands to configure and monitor security access
control lists (ACLs). Security ACLs filter packets to restrict or permit
network usage by certain users or traffic types, and can assign to packets
a class of service (CoS) to define the priority of treatment for packet
filtering.
(Security ACLs are different from the location policy on a WX switch,
which helps you locally control user access. For location policy
commands, see “AAA Commands” on page 201.)

acl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to clear. ACL names
start with a letter and are case-insensitive.
all— Clears all security ACLs.
editbuffer-index— Number that indicates which access control
entry (ACE) in the security ACL to clear. If you do not specify an ACE,
all ACEs are cleared from the ACL.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command deletes security ACLs only in the edit buffer.
You must use the commit security acl command with this command to
delete the ACL or ACE from the running configuration and nonvolatile
storage.
The clear security acl command deletes a security ACL, but does not
stop its current filtering function if the ACL is mapped to any virtual LANs
(VLANs), ports, or virtual ports, or if the ACL is applied in a Filter-Id
attribute to an authenticated user or group of users with current sessions.
Examples — The following commands display the current security ACL
configuration, clear acl_133 in the edit buffer, commit the deletion to the
running configuration, and redisplay the ACL configuration to display
that it no longer contains acl_133:

clear security acl
map
Deletes the mapping between a security ACL and a virtual LAN (VLAN),
one or more physical ports, or a virtual port. Or deletes all ACL maps to
VLANs, ports, and virtual ports on a WX switch.
Security ACLs are applied to users or groups dynamically via the Filter-Id
attribute. To delete a security ACL from a user or group in the local WX
database, use the command clear user attr, clear mac-user
attr, clear usergroup attr, or clear mac-usergroup attr. To delete a
security ACL from a user or group on an external RADIUS server, see the
documentation for your RADIUS server.

CHAPTER 14: SECURITY ACL COMMANDS
Syntax — clearsecurityaclmap{acl-name|all}{vlanvlan-id|
portport-list[tagtag-value]|dapdap-num}{in|out}
acl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to clear. ACL names
start with a letter and are case-insensitive.
all— Removes security ACL mapping from all physical ports, virtual
ports, and VLANs on a WX switch.
vlan vlan-id— VLAN name or number. MSS removes the security
ACL from the specified VLAN.
port port-list— Port list. MSS removes the security ACL from the
specified WX physical port or ports.
tag tag-value— Tag value that identifies a virtual port in a VLAN.
Specify a value from 1 through 4095. MSS removes the security ACL
from the specified virtual port.
dap dap-num— One or more Distributed MAPs, based on their
connection IDs. Specify a single connection ID, or specify a
comma-separated list of connection IDs, a hyphen-separated range, or
any combination, with no spaces. MSS removes the security ACL from
the specified Distributed MAPs.
in— Removes the security ACL from traffic coming into the WX
switch.
out— Removes the security ACL from traffic going out of the WX
switch.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To clear a security ACL map, type the name of the ACL with
the VLAN, physical port or ports, virtual port tag, or Distributed MAP and
the direction of the packets to stop filtering. This command deletes the
ACL mapping, but not the ACL.
Examples — To clear the mapping of security ACL acljoe from port 4 for
incoming packets, type the following command:
WX4400# clear security acl map acljoe port 4 in
clear mapping accepted

commit security acl
Saves a security ACL, or all security ACLs, in the edit buffer to the running
configuration and nonvolatile storage on the WX switch. Or, when used
with the clear security acl command, commit security acl deletes a
security ACL, or all security ACLs, from the running configuration and
nonvolatile storage.
Syntax — commit security acl {acl-name | all}
acl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to commit. ACL names
must start with a letter and are case-insensitive.
all— Commits all security ACLs in the edit buffer.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Use the commit security acl command to save security ACLs
into, or delete them from, the permanent configuration. Until you
commit the creation or deletion of a security ACL, it is stored in an edit
buffer and is not enforced. After you commit a security ACL, it is removed
from the edit buffer.
A single commit security acl all command commits the creation and/or
deletion of whatever display security acl info all editbuffer shows to
be currently stored in the edit buffer.

acl-name— Security ACL name. ACL names must be unique within
the WX switch, must start with a letter, and are case-insensitive.
Specify an ACL name of up to 32 of the following characters:
Letters a through z and A through Z
Numbers 0 through 9
Hyphen (-), underscore (_), and period (.)
3Com recommends that you do not use the same name with different
capitalizations for ACLs. For example, do not configure two separate
ACLs with the names acl_123 and ACL_123.
In an ACL name, do not include the term all, default-action, map,
help, or editbuffer.
permit— Allows traffic that matches the conditions in the ACE.
cos cos— For permitted packets, a class-of-service (CoS) level for
packet handling. Specify a value from 0 through 7:
1 or 2—Background. Packets are queued in MAP forwarding
queue 4.

set security acl 461
0 or 3—Best effort. Packets are queued in MAP forwarding
queue 3.
4 or 5—Video. Packets are queued in MAP forwarding queue 2.
Use CoS level 4 or 5 for voice over IP (VoIP) packets other than
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP).
6 or 7—Voice. Packets are queued in MAP forwarding queue 1.
In MSS Version 3.0, use 6 or 7 only for VoIP phones that use SVP,
not for other types of traffic.
deny— Blocks traffic that matches the conditions in the ACE.
protocol— IP protocol by which to filter packets:
ip
tcp
udp
icmp
A protocol number between 0 and 255.
(For a complete list of IP protocol names and numbers, see
source-ip-addr mask — IP address and wildcard mask of the
network or host from which the packet is being sent. Specify both
address and mask in dotted decimal notation. For more information,
operatorport[port2] — Operand and port number(s) for matching
TCP or UDP packets to the number of the source or destination port
on source-ip-addr or destination-ip-addr. Specify one of the following
operands and the associated port:
eq — Packets are filtered for only port number.
gt— Packets are filtered for all ports that are greater than port
number.
lt— Packets are filtered for all ports that are less than port
number.
neq— Packets are filtered for all ports except port number.
range— Packets are filtered for ports in the range between port
and port2. To specify a port range, enter two port numbers. Enter
the lower port number first, followed by the higher port number.

destination-ip-addrmask— IP address and wildcard mask of the
network or host to which the packet is being sent. Specify both
address and mask in dotted decimal notation. For more information,
type icmp-type — Filters ICMP messages by type. Specify a value
from 0 through 255. (For a list of ICMP message type and code
codeicmp-code— For ICMP messages filtered by type, additionally
filters ICMP messages by code. Specify a value from 0 through 255.
(For a list of ICMP message type and code numbers, see
precedence precedence— Filters packets by precedence level.
Specify a value from 0 through 7:
0— routine precedence
1— priority precedence
2— immediate precedence
3— flash precedence
4— flash override precedence
5— critical precedence
6— internetwork control precedence
7— network control precedence
tos tos— Filters packets by type of service (TOS) level. Specify one of
the following values, or any sum of these values up to 15. For
example, a tos value of 9 filters packets with the TOS levels minimum
delay (8) and minimum monetary cost (1).
8 — minimum delay
4— maximum throughput
2— maximum reliability
1— minimum monetary cost
0— normal

set security acl 463
beforeeditbuffer-index— Inserts the new ACE in front of another
ACE in the security ACL. Specify the number of the existing ACE in the
edit buffer. Index numbers start at 1. (To display the edit buffer, use
display security acl editbuffer.)
modify editbuffer-index— Replaces an ACE in the security ACL
with the new ACE. Specify the number of the existing ACE in the edit
buffer. Index numbers start at 1. (To display the edit buffer, use
display security acl editbuffer.)
hits— Tracks the number of packets that are filtered based on a
security ACL, for all mappings.
Defaults — Permitted packets are assigned to class-of-service (CoS)
class 0 by default.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — The WX switch does not apply security ACLs until you activate
them with the commit security acl command and map them to a VLAN,
port, or virtual port, or to a user. If the WX switch is reset or restarted,
any ACLs in the edit buffer are lost.
You cannot perform ACL functions that include permitting, denying, or
marking with a Class of Service (CoS) level on packets with a multicast or
broadcast destination address.
The order of security ACEs in a security ACL is important. Once an ACL is
active, its ACEs are checked according to their order in the ACL. If an ACE
criterion is met, its action takes place and any ACEs that follow are
ignored.
ACEs are listed in the order in which you create them, unless you move
them. To position security ACEs within a security ACL, use before
editbuffer-index and modify editbuffer-index.
Examples — The following command adds an ACE to security acl_123
that permits packets from IP address 192.168.1.11/24 and counts the
hits:
WX4400# set security acl ip acl_123 permit
192.168.1.11 0.0.0.255 hits

CHAPTER 14: SECURITY ACL COMMANDS
The following command adds an ACE to acl_123 that denies packets
from IP address 192.168.2.11:
WX4400# set security acl ip acl_123 deny 192.168.2.11
0.0.0.0
The following command creates acl_125 by defining an ACE that denies
TCP packets from source IP address 192.168.0.1 to destination IP address
192.168.0.2 for established sessions only, and counts the hits:
WX4400# set security acl ip acl_125 deny tcp
192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 established hits
The following command adds an ACE to acl_125 that denies TCP packets
from source IP address 192.168.1.1 to destination IP address
192.168.1.2, on destination port 80 only, and counts the hits:
WX4400# set security acl ip acl_125 deny tcp
192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 eq 80 hits
Finally, the following command commits the security ACLs in the edit
buffer to the configuration:
WX4400# commit security acl all

set security acl map 465
Syntax — set security acl map acl-name {vlan vlan-id|
port port-list[tag tag-list] | dap dap-num} {in| out}
acl-name— Name of an existing security ACL to map. ACL names
start with a letter and are case-insensitive.
vlan vlan-id — VLAN name or number. MSS assigns the security
ACL to the specified VLAN.
port port-list— Port list. MSS assigns the security ACL to the
specified physical WX port or ports.
tag tag-list— One or more values that identify a virtual port in a
VLAN. Specify a single tag value from 1 through 4095. Or specify a
comma-separated list of values, a hyphen-separated range, or any
combination, with no spaces. MSS assigns the security ACL to the
specified virtual port or ports.
dap dap-num— One or more Distributed MAPs, based on their
connection IDs. Specify a single connection ID, or specify a
comma-separated list of connection IDs, a hyphen-separated range, or
any combination, with no spaces. MSS assigns the security ACL to the
specified Distributed MAPs.
in— Assigns the security ACL to traffic coming into the WX switch.
out— Assigns the security ACL to traffic coming from the WX switch.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Before you can map a security ACL, you must use the
commit security acl command to save the ACL in the running
configuration and nonvolatile storage.
For best results, map only one input security ACL and one output security
ACL to each VLAN, physical port, virtual port, or Distributed MAP to filter
a flow of packets. If more than one security ACL filters the same traffic,
MSS applies only the first ACL match and ignores any other matches.
Examples — The following command maps security ACL acl_133 to
port 4 for incoming packets:
WX4400 set security acl map acl_133 port 4 in
success: change accepted.

each security ACL is sampled for display. The counter counts the number
of packets filtered by the security ACL — or “hits.”
Syntax — set security acl hit-sample-rate seconds
seconds— Number of seconds between samples. A sample rate of 0
(zero) disables the sample process.
Defaults — By default, the hits are not sampled.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Syntax changed from
hit-sample-rate seconds to set security acl hit-sample-rate seconds,
to allow the command to be saved in the configuration file.
Usage — To view counter results for a particular ACL, use the display
security acl info acl-name command. To view the hits for all security
ACLs, use the display security acl hits command.

crypto generate key 473
crypto generate key Generates an RSA public-private encryption key pair that is required for a
Certificate Signing Request (CSR) or a self-signed certificate. For SSH, the
command generates an SSH authentication key.
Syntax — crypto generate key {admin | eap | ssh | web}
{512 | 1024 | 2048}
admin— Generates an administrative key pair for authenticating the
WX switch to 3WXM or Web Manager.
eap— Generates an EAP key pair for authenticating the WX switch to
802.1X supplicants (clients).
ssh— Generates a key pair for authenticating the WX switch to
Secure Shell (SSH) clients.
web— Generates an administrative key pair for authenticating the WX
switch to WebAAA clients.

The minimum key size for SSH is 1024.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Webaaa option renamed to
web in MSS Version 4.1.
Usage — You can overwrite a key by generating another key of the same
type.
SSH requires an SSH authentication key, but you can allow MSS to
generate it automatically. The first time an SSH client attempts to access
the SSH server on a WX switch, the switch automatically generates a
1024-byte SSH key. If you want to use a 2048-byte key instead, use the
crypto generate key ssh 2048 command to generate one.
Examples — To generate an administrative key for use with 3WXM, type
the following command:
WX4400# crypto generate key admin 1024

Usage — Normally, the Bonded Auth period needs to be set only if the
network has Bonded Auth clients that use dynamic WEP, or use WEP-40
or WEP-104 encryption with WPA or RSN. These clients can be affected
by the 802.1X reauthentication parameter or the RADIUS
Session-Timeout parameter.
3Com recommends that you try 60 seconds, and change the period to a
longer value only if clients are unable to authenticate within 60 seconds.
The bonded authentication period applies only to 802.1X authentication
rules that contain the bonded option.
Examples — To set the bonded authentication period to 60 seconds,
type the following command:
WX4400# set dot1x bonded-period 60
success: change accepted.
See Also
set dot1x key-tx
Enables or disables the transmission of encryption key information to the
supplicant (client) in EAP over LAN (EAPoL) key messages, after
authentication is successful.
Syntax — set dot1x key-tx {enable | disable}
enable— Enables transmission of encryption key information to
clients.
disable— Disables transmission of encryption key information to
clients.
Defaults — Key transmission is enabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.

See Also
set dot1x max-req
Sets the maximum number of times the WX retransmits an EAP request
to a supplicant (client) before ending the authentication session.
Syntax — set dot1x max-req number-of-retransmissions
number-of-retransmissions— Specify a value between 0 and 10.
Defaults — The default number of EAP retransmissions is 2.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To support SSIDs that have both 802.1X and static WEP clients,
MSS sends a maximum of two ID requests, even if this parameter is set to
a higher value. Setting the parameter to a higher value does affect all
other types of EAP messages.
Examples — Type the following command to set the maximum number
of EAP request retransmissions to three attempts:
WX4400# set dot1x max-req 3
success: dot1x max request set to 3.

number-of-attempts— Specify a value between 1 and 10.
Defaults — The default number of reauthentication attempts is 2.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — If the number of reauthentications for a wired authentication
client is greater than the maximum number of reauthentications allowed,
MSS sends an EAP failure packet to the client and removes the client from
the network. However, MSS does not remove a wireless client from the
network under these circumstances.
Examples — Type the following command to set the number of
authentication attempts to 8:
WX4400# set dot1x reauth-max 8

RF DETECTION COMMANDS
19
MSS automatically performs RF detection scans on enabled and disabled
radios to detect rogue access points. A rogue access point is a BSSID
(MAC address associated with an SSID) that does not belong to a 3Com
switch and is not a member of the ignore list configured on the seed
switch of the Mobility Domain. The ignore list is a list of third-party
(friendly) BSSIDs that are not rogues.
MSS can issue countermeasures against rogue devices to prevent clients
from being able to use them.
You can configure RF detection parameters only on the seed switch of a
Mobility Domain.

CHAPTER 19: RF DETECTION COMMANDS
set rfdetect
active-scan
Disables or reenables active RF detection scanning on a WX switch. When
active scanning is enabled, the MAP radios managed by the switch look
for rogue devices by sending probe any requests (probe requests with a
null SSID name), to solicit probe responses from other access points.
Syntax — set rfdetect active-scan {enable | disable}
enable— Enables active RF detection scanning.
disable— Disables active RF detection scanning.
Defaults — Active scanning is enabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You can enter this command on any WX switch in the Mobility
Domain. The command takes effect only on that switch.
Examples — The following command disables active scanning on a WX
switch:
WX1200# set rfdetect active-scan disable
success: off-channel scanning is disabled.
set rfdetect
attack-list
Adds an entry to the attack list. The attack list specifies the MAC
addresses of devices that MSS should issue countermeasures against
whenever the devices are detected on the network. The attack list can
contain the MAC addresses of APs and clients.
Syntax — set rfdetect attack-list mac-addr
mac-addr — MAC address you want to attack.
Defaults — The attack list is empty by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The attack list applies only to the WX switch on which the list is
configured. WX switches do not share attack lists.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set rfdetect black-list 555
When on-demand countermeasures are enabled (with the set
radio-profile countermeasures configured command) only those
devices configured in the attack list are subject to countermeasures. In
this case, devices found to be rogues by other means, such as policy
violations or by determining that the device is providing connectivity to
the wired network, are not attacked.
Examples — The following command adds MAC address
aa:bb:cc:44:55:66 to the attack list:
WX4400# set rfdetect attack-list 11:22:33:44:55:66
success: MAC 11:22:33:44:55:66 is now in attacklist.
See Also
set rfdetect
black-list
Adds an entry to the client black list. The client black list specifies clients
that are not allowed on the network. MSS drops all packets from the
clients on the black list.
Syntax — set rfdetect black-list mac-addr
mac-addr — MAC address you want to place on the black list.
Defaults — The client black list is empty by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — In addition to manually configured entries, the list can contain
entries added by MSS. MSS can place a client in the black list due to an
association, reassociation or disassociation flood from the client.
The client black list applies only to the WX switch on which the list is
configured. WX switches do not share client black lists.

CHAPTER 19: RF DETECTION COMMANDS
Examples — The following command adds client MAC address
11:22:33:44:55:66 to the black list:
WX1200# set rfdetect black-list 11:22:33:44:55:66
success: MAC 11:22:33:44:55:66 is now blacklisted.
See Also
set rf detect
countermeasures
Enables or disables countermeasures for the Mobility Domain.
Countermeasures are packets sent by a radio to prevent clients from
being able to use a rogue access point.
CAUTION: Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When a
MAP radio is sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by
network traffic, until the radio finishes sending the countermeasures.
Syntax — set rfdetect countermeasures {enable | disable}
enable— Enables countermeasures.
disable— Disables countermeasures.
Defaults — Countermeasures are disabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command is valid only on the seed switch of the Mobility
Domain.
Examples — The following command enables countermeasures for the
Mobility Domain managed by this seed switch:
WX1200# set rfdetect countermeasures enable
success: countermeasures are now enabled.

set rfdetect countermeasures mac 557
set rfdetect
countermeasures
mac
Starts countermeasures against a specific rogue.
Syntax — set rfdetect countermeasures mac mac-addr
mac-addr— Basic service set identifier (BSSID) of the rogue. Enter the
BSSID in MAC address format, using a colon between each octet (for
example: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff).
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Use this command to immediately begin countermeasures
against a specific rogue in the rogue list. The MAC address you specify
must be in the list of rogues generated by RF detection scans. MSS can
issue countermeasures only against a device that is in the rogue list.
You can start countermeasures against more than one BSSID by typing
additional set rfdetect countermeasures mac commands.
After you type the first set rfdetect countermeasures mac command,
MSS does not issue countermeasures against any devices except the ones
you specify using this command. To resume normal countermeasures
operation, where MSS automatically issues countermeasures against
detected rogues, use the clear rfdetect countermeasures mac all
command.
This command is valid only on the seed switch of the Mobility Domain.
The countermeasures take effect only if countermeasures are enabled for
the Mobility Domain, using the set rfdetect countermeasures enable
command.
This command does not become part of the configuration file when you
save the configuration and therefore is not reloaded if the switch is
restarted.
Examples — The following command begins countermeasures against
rogue BSSID aa:bb:cc:11:22:33:
WX1200# set rfdetect countermeasures mac aa:bb:cc:11:22:33
success: set rfdetect countermeasures mac aa:bb:cc:11:22:33

set rfdetect ignore
Configures a list of known devices to ignore during an RF scan. MSS does
not generate log messages or traps for the devices in the ignore list.
Syntax — set rfdetect ignore mac-addr
mac-addr— BSSID (MAC address) of the device to ignore.
Defaults — MSS reports all unknown BSSIDs detected during an RF scan.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — Use this command to identify third-party APs and other devices
you are already aware of and do not want MSS to report following RF
scans.
If you try to initiate countermeasures against a device on the ignore list,
the ignore list takes precedence and MSS does not issue the
countermeasures. Countermeasures apply only to rogue devices.
If you add a device that MSS has classified as a rogue to the permitted
vendor list or permitted SSID list, but not to the ignore list, MSS can still
classify the device as a rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted vendor
list or permitted SSID list merely indicates that the device is from an
allowed manufacturer or is using an allowed SSID. However, to cause
MSS to stop classifying the device as a rogue, you must add the device’s
MAC address to the ignore list.
After you add a device that has been classified as a rogue to the ignore
list, the device remains classified as a rogue for at least 10 minutes. After
10 minutes, MSS reclassifies the device as an interfering device.

set rfdetect log 559
Examples — The following command configures MSS to ignore BSSID
aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 during RF scans:
WX1200# set rfdetect ignore aa:bb:cc:11:22:33
success: MAC aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 is now ignored.
See Also
set rfdetect log
Disables or reenables generation of log messages when rogues are
detected or when they disappear.
Syntax — set rfdetect log {enable | disable}
enable— Enables logging of rogues.
disable— Disables logging of rogues.
Defaults — RF detection logging is enabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command is valid only on the seed switch of the Mobility
Domain.
The log messages for rogues are generated only on the seed and appear
only in the seed’s log message buffer. Use the display log buffer
command to display the messages in the seed switch’s log message
buffer.
Examples — The following command enables RF detection logging for
the Mobility Domain managed by this seed switch:
WX1200# set rfdetect log enable
success: rfdetect logging is enabled.

CHAPTER 19: RF DETECTION COMMANDS
set rfdetect
signature
Enables MAP signatures. A MAP signature is a set of bits in a
management frame sent by a MAP that identifies that MAP to MSS. If
someone attempts to spoof management packets from a 3Com MAP,
MSS can detect the spoof attempt.
Syntax — set rfdetect signature {enable | disable}
enable — Enables MAP signatures.
disable — Disables MAP signatures.
Defaults — MAP signatures are disabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The command applies only to MAPs managed by the WX
switch on which you enter the command. To enable signatures on all
MAPs in a Mobility Domain, enter the command on each WX switch in
the Mobility Domain.
You must use the same MAP signature setting (enabled or disabled) on all
WX switches in a Mobility Domain.
Examples — The following command enables MAP signatures on a WX
switch:
WX1200# set rfdetect signature enable
success: signature is now enabled.
set rfdetect ssid-list
Adds an SSID to the permitted SSID list.The permitted SSID list specifies
the SSIDs that are allowed on the network. If MSS detects packets for an
SSID that is not on the list, the AP that sent the packets is classified as a
rogue. MSS issues countermeasures against the rogue if they are
enabled.
Syntax — set rfdetect ssid-list ssid-name
ssid-name — SSID name you want to add to the permitted SSID list.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set rfdetect vendor-list 561
Defaults — The permitted SSID list is empty by default and all SSIDs are
allowed. However, after you add an entry to the list, MSS allows traffic
only for the SSIDs that are on the list.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The permitted SSID list applies only to the WX switch on which
the list is configured. WX switches do not share permitted SSID lists.
If you add a device that MSS has classified as a rogue to the permitted
SSID list, but not to the ignore list, MSS can still classify the device as a
rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted SSID list merely indicates that
the device is using an allowed SSID. However, to cause MSS to stop
classifying the device as a rogue, you must add the device’s MAC address
to the ignore list.
Examples — The following command adds SSID mycorp to the list of
permitted SSIDs:
WX1200# set rfdetect ssid-list mycorp
success: ssid mycorp is now in ssid-list.
See Also
set rfdetect
vendor-list
Adds an entry to the permitted vendor list. The permitted vendor list
specifies the third-party AP or client vendors that are allowed on the
network. MSS does not list a device as a rogue or interfering device if the
device’s OUI is in the permitted vendor list.
Syntax — set rfdetect vendor-list {client | ap} mac-addr
client | ap — Specifies whether the entry is for an AP brand or a
client brand.
mac-addr — Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) to remove.

562
CHAPTER 19: RF DETECTION COMMANDS
Defaults — The permitted vendor list is empty by default and all vendors
are allowed. However, after you add an entry to the list, MSS allows only
the devices whose OUIs are on the list.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The permitted vendor list applies only to the WX switch on
which the list is configured. WX switches do not share permitted vendor
lists.
If you add a device that MSS has classified as a rogue to the permitted
vendor list, but not to the ignore list, MSS can still classify the device as a
rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted vendor list merely indicates that
the device is from an allowed vendor. However, to cause MSS to stop
classifying the device as a rogue, you must add the device’s MAC address
to the ignore list.
Examples — The following command adds an entry for clients whose
MAC addresses start with aa:bb:cc:
WX1200# set rfdetect vendor-list client aa:bb:cc:00:00:00
success: MAC aa:bb:cc:00:00:00 is now in client vendor-list.
The trailing 00:00:00 value is required.

backup
Creates an archive of WX system files and optionally, user file, in Unix
tape archive (tar) format.
Syntax backup system[tftp:/ip-addr/]filename [all |
critical]
Defaults — All.
Access — Enabled.
History —.
Usage — You can create an archive located on a TFTP server or in the
switch’s nonvolatile storage. If you specify a TFTP server as part of the
filename, the archive is copied directly to the TFTP server and not stored
locally on the switch.
Use the critical option if you want to back up or restore only the
system-critical files required to operate and communicate with the
switch. Use the all option if you also want to back up or restore WebAAA
pages, backup configuration files, image files, and any other files stored
in the user files area of nonvolatile storage.
The maximum supported file size is 32 MB. If the file size of the tarball is
too large, delete unnecessary files (such as unneeded copies of system
image files) and try again, or use the critical option instead of the all
option.
Neither option archives image files or any other files listed in the Boot
section of dir command output. The all option archives image files only if
they are present in the user files area.
Archive files created by the all option are larger than files created by the
critical option. The file size depends on the files in the user area, and the
file can be quite large if the user area contains image files.

backup 565
The backup command places the boot configuration file into the archive.
(The boot configuration file is the Configured boot configuration in the
display boot command’s output.) If the running configuration contains
changes that have not been saved, these changes are not in the boot
configuration file and are not archived. To make sure the archive contains
the configuration that is currently running on the switch, use the
save config command to save the running configuration to the boot
configuration file, before using the backup command.
Examples — The following command creates an archive of the
system-critical files and copies the archive directly to a TFTP server. The
filename in this example includes a TFTP server IP address, so the archive
is not stored locally on the switch.
WX1200# backup system tftp:/10.10.20.9/sysa_bak critical

CHAPTER 20: FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — The filename and file:filename URLs are equivalent. You can
use either URL to refer to a file in an WX switch’s nonvolatile memory.
The tftp://ip-addr/filename URL refers to a file on a TFTP server. If DNS is
configured on the WX switch, you can specify a TFTP server’s hostname
as an alternative to specifying the IP address.
The tmp:filename URL specifies a file in temporary storage. You can copy
a file out of temporary storage but you cannot copy a file into temporary
storage. Temporary storage is reserved for use by MSS.
If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the
filename must be preceded by the boot partition name, which can be
boot0 or boot1. Enter the filename as boot0:/filename or
boot1:/filename. You must specify the boot partition that was not used
to load the currently running image.
The maximum supported file size for TFTP is 32 MB.
Examples — The following command copies a file called floorwx from
nonvolatile storage to a TFTP server:
WX4400# copy floorwx tftp://10.1.1.1/floorwx

load config
Loads configuration commands from a file and replaces the WX switch’s
running configuration with the commands in the loaded file.
CAUTION: This command completely removes the running configuration
and replaces it with the configuration contained in the file. 3Com
recommends that you save a copy of the current running configuration to
a backup configuration file before loading a new configuration.
Syntax — load config [url]
url— Filename. Specify between 1 and 128 alphanumeric characters,
with no spaces.
If the file is in a subdirectory, specify the subdirectory name, followed
by a forward slash, in front of the filename. For example:
backup_configs/config_c.
Defaults — The default file location is nonvolatile storage.
The current version supports loading a configuration file only from the
switch’s nonvolatile storage. You cannot load a configuration file directly
from a TFTP server.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
load config 579
If you do not specify a filename, MSS uses the same configuration
filename that was used for the previous configuration load. For example,
if the WX switch used configuration for the most recent configuration
load, MSS uses configuration again unless you specify a different
filename. To display the filename of the configuration file MSS loaded
during the last reboot, use the display boot command.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — This command completely replaces the running configuration
with the configuration in the file.
Examples — The following command reloads the configuration from the
most recently loaded configuration file:
WX4400# load config
Reloading configuration may result in lost of connectivity,
do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n]y
success: Configuration reloaded
The following command loads configuration file testconfig1:
WX4400# load config testconfig1
Reloading configuration may result in lost of connectivity,
do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n]y
success: Configuration reloaded

CHAPTER 20: FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
md5
Calculates the MD5 checksum for a file in the switch’s nonvolatile
storage.
Syntax — md5 [boot0: | boot1:]filename
boot0: | boot1: — Boot partition into which you copied the file.
filename — Name of the file.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — You must include the boot partition name in front of the
filename. If you specify only the filename, the CLI displays a message
stating that the file does not exist.
Examples — The following command calculates the checksum for image
file WX040003.020 in boot partition 0:
pubs# md5 boot0:MX040003.020
MD5 (boot0:MX040003.020) = b9cf7f527f74608e50c70e8fb896392a

CHAPTER 20: FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
reset system
Restarts an WX switch and reboots the software.
Syntax — reset system [force]
force— Immediately restarts the system and reboots, without
comparing the running configuration to the configuration file.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — If you do not use the force option, the command first
compares the running configuration to the configuration file. If the
running configuration and configuration file do not match, MSS does not
restart the WX switch but instead displays a message advising you to
either save the configuration changes or use the force option.
Examples — The following command restarts an WX switch that does
not have any unsaved configuration changes:
WX4400# reset system
This will reset the entire system. Are you sure (y/n)y
The following commands attempt to restart an WX switch with a running
configuration that has unsaved changes, and then force the switch to
restart:
WX4400# reset system
error: Cannot reset, due to unsaved configuration changes.
Use "reset system force" to override.
WX4400# reset system force
...... rebooting ......

restore 583
restore
Unzips a system archive created by the backup command and copies the
files from the archive onto the switch.
Syntax restore system[tftp:/ip-addr/]filename [all |
critical]
Defaults — Critical.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.2.
Usage — If a file in the archive has a counterpart on the switch, the archive
version of the file replaces the file on the switch. The restore command does
not delete files that do not have counterparts in the archive. For example, the
command does not completely replace the user files area. Instead, files in the
archive are added to the user files area. A file in the user area is replaced only
if the archive contains a file with the same name.
Note: If the archive’s files cannot fit on the switch, the restore operation
fails. 3Com recommends deleting unneeded image files before creating
or restoring an archive.
The backup command stores the MAC address of the switch in the
archive. By default, the restore command works only if the MAC address
in the archive matches the MAC address of the switch where the restore
command is entered. The force option overrides this restriction and
allows you to unpack one switch’s archive onto another switch.
CAUTION: Do not use the force option unless you are certain you want
to replace the switch’s files with files from another switch. If you restore
one switch’s system files onto another switch, you must generate new
key pairs and certificates on the switch.
Examples — The following command restores system-critical files on a
switch, from archive sysa_bak.
WX1200# restore system tftp:/10.10.20.9/sysa_bak
success: received 11908 bytes in 0.150 seconds [ 79386
bytes/sec]
success: restore complete.

rmdir
Removes a subdirectory from nonvolatile storage.
Syntax — rmdir [subdirname]
subdirname— Subdirectory name. Specify between 1 and 32
alphanumeric characters, with no spaces.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — MSS does not allow the subdirectory to be removed unless it is
empty. Delete all files from the subdirectory before attempting to remove
it.
Examples — The following example removes subdirectory corp2:
WX4400# rmdir corp2
success: change accepted.
See Also
save config
Saves the running configuration to a configuration file.
Syntax — save config [filename]
filename— Name of the configuration file. Specify between 1 and
128 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces.
To save the file in a subdirectory, specify the subdirectory name,
followed by a forward slash, in front of the filename. For example:
backup_configs/config_c.
Defaults — By default, MSS saves the running configuration as the
configuration filename used during the last reboot.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set boot backup-configuration 585
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — If you do not specify a filename, MSS replaces the
configuration file loaded during the most recent reboot. To display the
filename of the configuration file MSS loaded during the most recent
reboot, use the display boot command.
The command completely replaces the specified configuration file with
the running configuration.
Examples — The following command saves the running configuration to
the configuration file loaded during the most recent reboot. In this
example, the filename used during the most recent reboot is
configuration.
WX4400# save config
Configuration saved to configuration.
The following command saves the running configuration to a file named
testconfig1:
WX4400# save config testconfig1
Configuration saved to testconfig1.
See Also
set boot
Specifies the name of a backup configuration file to be used in the event
backup-configuration that MSS cannot read the WX switch’s configuration file at boot time.
Syntax — set boot backup-configuration filename
filename —Name of the file to use as a backup configuration file if
MSS cannot read the WX switch’s configuration file.
Defaults — By default, there is no backup configuration file.
Access — Enabled.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
586
CHAPTER 20: FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.1.
Examples — The following command specifies a file called backup.cfg as
the backup configuration file on the WX switch:

success: backup boot config filename set.
See Also
set boot
configuration-file
Changes the configuration file to load after rebooting.
Syntax — set boot configuration-file filename
filename— Filename. Specify between 1 and 128 alphanumeric
characters, with no spaces.
To load the file from a subdirectory, specify the subdirectory name,
followed by a forward slash, in front of the filename. For example:
backup_configs/config_c.
Defaults — The default configuration filename is configuration.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — The file must be located in the switch’s nonvolatile storage.
Examples — The following command sets the boot configuration file to
testconfig1:
WX4400# set boot configuration-file testconfig1
success: boot config set.

set boot partition 587
set boot partition
Specifies the boot partition in which to look for the system image file
following the next system reset, software reload, or power cycle.
Syntax — set boot partition {boot0 | boot1}
boot0— Boot partition 0.
boot1— Boot partition 1.
Defaults — By default, an WX switch uses the same boot partition for
the next software reload that was used to boot the currently running
image.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To determine the boot partition that was used to load the
currently running software image, use the dir command.
Examples — The following command sets the boot partition for the next
software reload to partition 1:
WX4400# set boot partition boot1
success: Boot partition set to boot1.

SNOOP COMMANDS
22
22
Use snoop commands to monitor wireless traffic, by using a Distributed
MAP as a sniffing device. The MAP copies the sniffed 802.11 packets and
sends the copies to an observer, which is typically a protocol analyzer
such as Ethereal or Tethereal.
(For more information, including setup instructions for the monitoring
station, see the “Remotely Monitoring Traffic” section in the
“Troubleshooting a WX Switch” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and
Controller Configuration Guide.)

clear snoop
Deletes a snoop filter.
Syntax — clear snoop filter-name
filter-name — Name of the snoop filter.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Examples — The following command deletes snoop filter snoop1:
WX1200# clear snoop snoop1
See Also
clear snoop map
Removes a snoop filter from a MAP radio.
Syntax — clear snoop map filter-name dap dap-num radio {1 | 2}
filter-name — Name of the snoop filter.
dap dap-num — Number of a Distributed MAP to which to snoop filter
is mapped
radio 1 — Radio 1 of the MAP.

success: change accepted.
See Also
set snoop
Configures a snoop filter.
Syntax — set snoopfilter-name [condition-list]
[observerip-addr] [snap-lengthnum]
filter-name — Name for the filter. The name can be up
to 32 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces.
condition-list — Match criteria for packets.
Conditions in the list are ANDed. Therefore, to be copied
and sent to an observer, a packet must match all criteria
in the condition-list. You can specify up to eight of the
following conditions in a filter, in any order or
combination:
frame-type {eq | neq} {beacon | control |
data | management | probe}
channel {eq | neq} channel
bssid {eq | neq} bssid
src-mac {eq | neq} mac-addr
dest-mac {eq | neq} mac-addr
host-mac {eq | neq} mac-addr
mac-pair mac-addr1 mac-addr2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
600
CHAPTER 22: SNOOP COMMANDS
To match on packets to or from a specific MAC address, use the
dest-mac or src-mac option. To match on both send and receive
traffic for a host address, use the host-mac option. To match on a
traffic flow (source and destination MAC addresses), use the mac-pair
option. This option matches for either direction of a flow, and either
MAC address can be the source or destination address.
If you omit a condition, all packets match that condition. For example,
if you omit frame-type, all frame types match the filter.
For most conditions, you can use eq (equal) to match only on traffic
that matches the condition value. Use neq (not equal) to match only
on traffic that is not equal to the condition value.
observerip-addr — Specifies the IP address of the station where
the protocol analyzer is located. If you do not specify an observer, the
MAP radio still counts the packets that match the filter.
snap-lengthnum — Specifies the maximum number of bytes to
capture. If you do not specify a length, the entire packet is copied and
sent to the observer. 3Com recommends specifying a snap length of
100 bytes or less.
Defaults — No snoop filters are configured by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — Traffic that matches a snoop filter is copied after it is
decrypted. The decrypted (clear) version is sent to the observer.
For best results:
Do not specify an observer that is associated with the MAP where the
snoop filter is running. This configuration causes an endless cycle of
snoop traffic.
If the snoop filter is running on a Distributed MAP, and the MAP used
a DHCP server in its local subnet to configure its IP information, and
the MAP did not receive a default gateway address as a result, the
observer must also be in the same subnet. Without a default gateway,
the MAP cannot find the observer.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
set snoop 601
The MAP that is running a snoop filter forwards snooped packets
directly to the observer. This is a one-way communication, from the
MAP to the observer. If the observer is not present, the MAP still sends
the snoop packets, which use bandwidth. If the observer is present
but is not listening to TZSP traffic, the observer continuously sends
ICMP error indications back to the MAP. These ICMP messages can
affect network and MAP performance.
Examples — The following command configures a snoop filter named
snoop1 that matches on all traffic, and copies the traffic to the device
that has IP address 10.10.30.2:
WX1200# set snoop snoop1 observer 10.10.30.2 snap-length 100
The following command configures a snoop filter named snoop2 that
matches on all data traffic between the device with MAC address
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff and the device with MAC address 11:22:33:44:55:66,
and copies the traffic to the device that has IP address 10.10.30.3:
WX1200# set snoop snoop2 frame-type eq data mac-pair
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 11:22:33:44:55:66 observer 10.10.30.3

CHAPTER 22: SNOOP COMMANDS
set snoop map
Maps a snoop filter to a radio on a Distributed MAP. A snoop filter does
take effect until you map it to a radio and enable the filter.
Syntax — set snoop map filter-name dap dap-num radio {1 | 2}
filter-name — Name of the snoop filter.
dap dap-num — Number of a Distributed MAP to which to map the
snoop filter.
radio 1 — Radio 1 of the MAP.
radio 2— Radio 2 of the MAP. (This option does not apply to
single-radio models.)
Defaults — Snoop filters are unmapped by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — You can map the same filter to more than one radio. You can
map up to eight filters to the same radio. If more than one filter has the
same observer, the MAP sends only one copy of a packet that matches a
filter to the observer. After the first match, the MAP sends the packet and
stops comparing the packet against other filters for the same observer.
If the filter does not have an observer, the MAP still maintains a counter
Examples — The following command maps snoop filter snoop1 to radio
2 on Distributed MAP 3:
WX1200# set snoop map snoop1 dap 3 radio 2
success: change accepted.

set snoop mode 603
set snoop mode
Enables a snoop filter. A snoop filter does not take effect until you map it
to a MAP radio and enable the filter.
Syntax — set snoop {filter-name | all}
mode {enable [stop-after num-pkts] | disable}
filter-name | all — Name of the snoop filter. Specify all to enable
all snoop filters.
enable [stop-after num-pkts] — Enables the snoop filter.
The stop-after option disables the filter after the specified number of
packets match the filter. Without the stop-after option, the filter
operates until you disable it or until the MAP is restarted.
disable — Disables the snoop filter.
Defaults — Snoop filters are disabled by default.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — The filter mode is not retained if you change the filter
configuration or disable and reenable the radio, or when the MAP or the
WX switch is restarted. You must reenable the filter to place it back into
effect.
Examples — The following command enables snoop filter snoop1, and
configures the filter to stop after 5000 packets match the filter:
WX1200# set snoop snoop1 mode enable stop-after 5000
success: filter 'snoop1' enabled

BOOT PROMPT COMMANDS
24
Boot prompt commands enable you to perform basic tasks, including
booting a system image file, from the boot prompt (boot>). A CLI session
enters the boot prompt if MSS does not boot successfully or you
intentionally interrupt the boot process. To interrupt the boot process,
press q followed by Enter (return).
CAUTION: Generally, boot prompt commands are used only for
troubleshooting. 3Com recommends that you use these commands only
when working with 3Com Technical Support to diagnose a system issue.
In particular, commands that change boot parameters can interfere with
a WX switch’s ability to boot successfully.
