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.
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.
