VLAN glob

A 3Com convention for applying the authentication, authorization, and

 

accounting (AAA) attributes in the location policy on a WX switch to

 

one or more users, based on a virtual LAN (VLAN) attribute. To specify

 

all VLANs, use the double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters. 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 dot (.). See also location policy;

 

MAC address glob; user glob.

Voice over IP

See VoIP.

VoIP

Voice over IP. The ability of an IP network to carry telephone voice

 

signals as IP packets in compliance with International

 

Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector

 

(ITU-T) specification H.323. VoIP enables a router to transmit telephone

 

calls and faxes over the Internet with no loss in functionality, reliability,

 

or voice quality.

VSA

Vendor-specific attribute. A type of RADIUS attribute that enables a

 

vendor to extend RADIUS operations to fit its own products, without

 

conflicting with existing RADIUS attributes or the VSAs of other

 

companies. Companies can create new authentication and accounting

 

attributes as VSAs.

watch list

A 3WXM method for monitoring user location and activity. After

 

initially finding a user through 3WXM, you can add the user to the

 

watch list for continued monitoring. 3WXM tracks and displays such

 

information as the Managed Access Point(s) (MAP(s)) that a user is

 

associated with during a session, the server that authenticated the user,

 

and the session start and stop times.

Web View

A Web-based application for configuring and managing a single

 

Wireless Switch (WX) and its attached Managed Access Points (MAPs)

 

through a Web browser. Web View uses a secure connection that

 

implements Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer

 

(HTTPS).

WECA

Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance. See Wi-Fi Alliance.
