Nortel Networks 2300 Series manual Port Lists

24Using the Command-Line Interface

To match all VLANs, use the double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters with no delimiters. To match any number of char- acters up to, but not including, a delimiter character in the wildcard, use the single-asterisk (*) wildcard. Valid VLAN wildcard delimiter characters are the at (@) sign and the period (.).

For example, the VLAN wildcard bldg4.* matches bldg4.security and bldg4.hr and all other VLAN names with bldg4. at the beginning.

Matching Order for Wildcards

In general, the order in which you enter AAA commands determines the order in which WSS Software matches the user, MAC address, or VLAN to a wildcard. To verify the order, view the output of the show aaa or show config command. WSS Software checks wildcards 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 WSS can be set for connection to APs, authenticated wired users, or the network backbone. You can include a single port or multiple ports in one WSS Software CLI command by using the appropriate list format.

The ports on a WSS are numbered 1 through 22. No port 0 exists on the 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:

WSS# set port enable 16

•A comma-separated list of port numbers, with no spaces. For example:

WSS# show port poe 1,2,4,13

•A hyphen-separated range of port numbers, with no spaces. For example:

WSS# reset port 12-16

•Any combination of single numbers, lists, and ranges. Hyphens take precedence over commas. For example:

WSS# show port status 1-3,14

Virtual LAN Identification

The names of virtual LANs (VLANs), which are used in Mobility Domain™ communications, are set by you and can be changed. In contrast, VLAN ID numbers, which the WSS uses locally, are determined when the VLAN is first config- ured 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 show commands use a VLAN’s name or number to uniquely identify the VLAN within the WSS.
