New commands support configuration of virtual controller clustering on a
mobility domain.
domain.
Syntax —
| disable}
set cluster mode {enable | disable} preempt {enable
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 7.0.
Usage — You must enable cluster mode on all WXs that are members of
the cluster.
Examples — The following command enables cluster mode on a WX in a
mobility domain:
WX# set cluster mode enable
success:change accepted
set cluster preemptUse this command on the secondary seed of the cluster to allow the
secondary seed to become active if the primary seed fails.
AP 3950 PoE Configuration31
Syntax — set cluster preempt {enable | disable}
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 7.0.
Usage — You can only use this command on the secondary seed of the
mobility domain.
Examples — The following command enables preempt mode on a
secondary seed:
WX# set cluster preempt enable
success:change accepted
AP 3950 PoE
Configuration
set ap power-modeSyntax —
802.11n
Configuration
A new command supports PoE configuration on the AP 3950.
set ap apnum power-mode {auto | high}
auto — Power is managed automatically by sensing the power level
on the AP. If low power is detected, unused Ethernet is disabled and
reduces the traffic on the 2.4 GHz radio. If high power is detected,
then both radios operate at 3x3 (3 transmit chains and 3 receive
chains).
high — Both radios operate at the maximum power available, which
requires either 802.3at PoE or both ports using 802.3af PoE.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 7.0.
These commands support configuration of 802.11n frame aggregation,
data rates, and channel width on the AP 3950.
32NEW FEATURES SUMMARY
set service-profile 11nA new command to configure maximum MPDU and MSDU packet
length, frame aggregation, and the short guard interval for 11n network
traffic.
Definitions of terms used in syntax:
Aggregrate MAC Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU) — Allows multiple
MPDUs to be transmitted as a single PDU frame.
Aggregrate MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU) — Allows multiple
MSDUs to be transmitted within a single or multiple data MSDUs.
Only MSDUs whose destination address and source address map to
the same receiver address and transmitter address are aggregated.
Short Guard Interval — Used to prevent inter-symbol interference
for 802.11n. When enabled, the interval is 400 nanoseconds and it
enhances throughput when multipath delay is low.
a-mpdu-max-length — Configures the length of the MPDU packet in
set service-profile name 11n a-mpdu-max-length [8K |
kilobytes. Select from 8, 16, 32, or 64K.
a-msdu-max-length — Configures the length of the MSDU packet in
kilobytes. Select from 4 or 8K.
frame-aggregation — Enables aggregation of MPDU and MSDU
packets. Select either MPDU or MSDU or all. You can also disable this
option.
short-guard-interval — Configure this option to prevent
inter-symbol interference on the 802.11n network.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 7.0.
Configures the data rates supported by MAP radios for a service-profile
SSID. This is an existing command. The only change in MSS 7.0 is to add
support and transmit rates for 11ng and 11na.

The ability to redirect Web portal authentication to a Web server on a
network rather than a local WX database or RADIUS is now available in
MSS 7.0. For For more information on this function, refer to the Wireless
LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.
The following MSS command supports this function:
WX# set service-profile profile-name web-portal-form URL
34NEW FEATURES SUMMARY
Simultaneous Login
Support
Dynamic RADIUS
Extensions
You can now limit the number of concurrent sessions that a user can have
on the network. You can use the vendor-specific attribute (VSA) on a
RADIUS server or configure it as part of a service profile. You can apply
the attribute to users and user groups.
The attribute,
simultaneous-logins, has been added to the following
commands:
set user username attr simultaneous-logins value
set usergroup group-name attr simultaneous-logins value
set service-profile name attr simultaneous-logins value
where value is between 0-1000. In the case of the set user attr
command, if you set the value to 0, then the user is locked out of the
network. The default value is unlimited access. In addition, setting this
value applies only to user sessions in the mobility domain and not a
specific WX.
To clear the configuration, use one of the following commands:
clear user username attr simultaneous-logins
clear usergroup group-name attr simultaneous-logins
These commands and attributes support configuration of dynamic
RADIUS extensions per RFC 3576 (Dynamic Authorization Server MIB).
set radius dacConfigures dynamic RADIUS extensions in support of RFC 3576.

History — Introduced in MSS Version 6.2.
Examples — To configure an SSID named dac_clients, use the following
command:
WX# set authorization dynamic ssid dac_clients
success:change accepted
termination-action
Attribute
The termination-action dynamic RADIUS attribute is now supported
in MSS 7.0. The attribute has been added to the following commands:
set user username attr termination-action value
36NEW FEATURES SUMMARY
set usergroup group-name attr termination-action value
where value is 0 or 1. This attribute supports reauthentication of all
access types: dot1x, web-portal, MAC, and last-resort. When the value is
set to 0, the user session is terminated after the session expires. If the
value is set to 1, the user session is reauthenticated by sending a RADIUS
request message after the session expires.
MAC User Range
Authentication
set authentication
mac-prefix
Version 7.0 modifies the User MAC Address field in the existing set
mac-user and set mac-user attr commands to allow input such as
00:11:00:* instead of just a single MAC address. Only one * (asterisk) is
allowed in the address format and it must be the last character.
During authentication of the MAC User client, the most specific entry
that matches the MAC-user glob is selected. Therefore, an entry for
00:11:30:21:ab:cd overrides an entry for 00:11:30:21:*, and an entry
for
00:11:30:21:* overrides an entry for 00:11:30:*.
To configure a MAC User Range with MSS, use these commands:
set mac-user 00:11:*
set mac-user 00:11:* attr attribute-name value
set mac-user 00:11:* [group group_name]
To configure this feature for authentication on a RADIUS server, use the
new command
set authentication mac-prefix (see the next section).
Specifies the MAC address prefix for SSID authentication.
Syntax —
wired mac-glob
mac-glob — Represents the range of MAC addresses for this rule and
set authentication mac-prefix {ssid [ssid | any]}
determines the prefix used for authentication. During authentication,
the MAC prefix is extracted from the MAC-glob and used as the
user-name in the Access-Request portion of the handshake.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 7.0.
MAC Authentication Request Format37
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of MAC addresses by “globbing.”
Examples — To set the MAC address glob for authenticating an SSID,
use the following command:
WX# set authentication mac-prefix ssid any 00:00*
success: change accepted.
MAC
Authentication
Request Format
A new parameter, mac-addr-format, is available in the set radius
server
command to configure a MAC address format to be sent as a
username to a RADIUS server for MAC authentication.
To configure the MAC address format with MSS, use the following
command:
WX# set radius server name mac-addr-format {hyphens | colons
| one-hyphen | raw}
For example:
WX# set radius server sp1 mac-addr-format ?
hyphens12-34-56-78-9a-bc
colons12:34:56:78:9a:bc
one-hyphen123456-789abc
raw123456789abc
You can also configure all RADIUS servers to use a specific MAC address
format with the following command:
The RADIUS standard (RFC 2865) allows the attribute user-name to be
returned as part of the access-accept handshake. The
user-name string is
used as the user-name for the session. MSS supports this functionality on
the RADIUS server but not the WX local database. With the release of
MSS and 3WXM Version 7.0, this attribute is now supported as part of
the login session.
The attribute has been added to the following commands:
set user username attr user-name value
38NEW FEATURES SUMMARY
set mac-user mac-addr attr user-name value
set usergroup group-name attr user-name value
set mac-usergroup group-name attr user-name value
where value is the username that is displayed in session information. It
can be up to 80 characters, including numbers and special characters.
To clear the configuration, use one of the following commands:
If configured, usernames are now part of display output such as
display sessions:
WX# display sessions

Since the session user name is replaced by the user-name attribute, the
display sessions output displays this attribute as the user name for
the session. When the attribute is obtained from a user group, the user
name of all users in the group appears the same and you cannot
differentiate between them. However, the MAC address is added to the
user group name in the output.
MSS Version 7.0 adds a time-of-day attribute to the following
command for controlling wireless access during certain times of day:
set location policy {deny | permit} if [time-of-day operator

Unique AP Number
Support
Bandwidth
Management
MSS 7.0 now allows APs to be numbered from 1 to 9999 on a network.
However, there is no change to the maximum number of APs that can be
configured on a WX.
This affects the following command:
set ap apnum
where apnum is a number in the range 1-9999.
Bandwidth management allows you to manage network traffic on your
network by configuring certain traffic for higher priority over other
traffic—for example, VoIP traffic over normal network traffic. You can
configure this feature when you implement QoS profiles. You can
configure bandwidth management on a per-SSID, per-user, or queuing
weights basis.
The QoS profile contains a set of parameters that are applied to clients to
assure a specific service level on the network. A QoS profile is an AAA
attribute assigned to a client when the client associates on the network.
Prior to this release, some QoS parameters were configured as part of the
service profile attributes.
Commands and attributes used to implement bandwidth management
are described in the remainder of this section. For more detailed
information on use of these commands when configuring bandwidth
management, see the New Features Summary section in the Wireless Switch Manager User Guide.

NTERFACE
This chapter discusses the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager (3WXM)
command-line interface (CLI). Described are:
CLI conventions (see “CLI Conventions” on page 76)
Editing on the command line (see “Command-Line Editing” on
page 81)
Using the CLI help feature (see “Using CLI Help” on page 83)
Information about the command descriptions in this reference (see
“Understanding Command Descriptions” on page 84)
OverviewMobility 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
76CHAPTER 1: USINGTHE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
CLI ConventionsBe aware of the following MSS CLI conventions for command entry:
“Command Prompts” on page 76
“Syntax Notation” on page 76
“Text Entry Conventions and Allowed Characters” on page 77
“User Globs, MAC Address Globs, and VLAN Globs” on page 78
“Port Lists” on page 80
“Virtual LAN Identification” on page 81
Command PromptsBy 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,
see “set prompt” on page 107.
Syntax NotationThe 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]
CLI Conventions77
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
Conventions and
Allowed Characters
MAC Address
Notation
Unless otherwise indicated, the MSS CLI accepts standard ASCII
alphanumeric characters, except for tabs and spaces, and is
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.
MSS displays MAC addresses in hexadecimal numbers with a colon (:)
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 79.)
78CHAPTER 1: USINGTHE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
IP Address and Mask
Notation
MSS displays IP addresses in dotted decimal notation — for example,
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.
The ACL mask must be a contiguous set of zeroes starting from the first
bit. For example, 0.255.255.255, 0.0.255.255, and 0.0.0.255 are valid
ACL masks. However, 0.255.0.255 is not a valid ACL mask.
User Globs, MAC
Address Globs, and
VLAN Globs
Name “globbing” is a way of using a wildcard pattern to expand a single
element into a list of elements that match the pattern. MSS accepts user
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 (.).
CLI Conventions79
Table 4 gives examples of user globs.
Tab le 4 User Globs
User GlobUser(s) Designated
jose@example.comUser jose at example.com
*@example.comAll 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.comAll marketing users at example.com whose
*.*@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
EXAMPLE\*.*All users in the Windows Domain EXAMPLE whose
**All users
usernames do not contain periods
usernames contain periods
usernames that have no delimiters
usernames contain periods
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:
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).
80CHAPTER 1: USINGTHE 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 ListsThe 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
Command-Line Editing81
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
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 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.
Command-Line
Editing
MSS editing functions are similar to those of many other network
operating systems.

the Enter old password prompt. Otherwise, type the old password.
Then type a password of up to 32 alphanumeric characters with no
spaces, and reenter it at the Retype new password prompt.
CAUTION: Be sure to use a password that you will remember. If you lose
the enable password, the only way to restore it causes the system to
return to its default settings and wipes out the configuration.
Examples — The following example illustrates the prompts that the
system displays when the enable password is changed. The passwords
you enter are not displayed.
WX1200# set enablepass
Enter old password: old-password
Enter new password: new-password
Retype new password: new-password

quickstartRuns 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-configEnables a WX switch to contact a 3WXM server for its configuration.
Syntax —
enable — Enables the switch to contact a 3WXM server to request a
set auto-config {enable | disable}
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.
