Nortel Networks 2300 Series manual MAC Address Wildcards

Using the Command-Line Interface 23

number of characters up to, but not including, a delimiter character in the wildcard. Valid user wildcard delimiter characters are the at (@) sign and the period (.).

For example, the following wildcards identify the following users:

User Wildcard	User(s) Designated
jose@example.com	User jose at example.com
*@example.com	All users at example.com whose usernames do not contain
	periods—for example, jose@example.com and
	tamara@example.com, but not nin.wong@example.com,
	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 usernames
	contain periods
*	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 Wildcards

A media access control (MAC) address wildcard is a similar method for matching some authentication, autho- rization, and accounting (AAA) and forwarding database (FDB) commands to one or more 6-byte MAC addresses. In a MAC address wildcard, 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 wildcard 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).

VLAN Wildcards

A VLAN wildcard is a method for matching one of a set of local rules on a WSS, known as the location policy, to one or more users. WSS Software compares the VLAN wildcard, which can optionally contain wildcard characters, against the VLAN-Name attribute returned by AAA, to determine whether to apply the rule.
