This command reference explains Mobility System Software (MSS™) command line interface (CLI) that you enter on a 3Com WXR100 or WX1200 Wireless Switch or WX4400 Wireless LAN Controller to configure and manage the Mobility System™ wireless LAN (WLAN). Read this reference if you are a network administrator responsible for managing WXR100, WX1200 or WX4400 wireless switches and their Managed Access Points (MAPs) in a network.
These notes provide information about the system software release, including new features and bug fixes. Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Quick Start Guide This guide provides instructions for performing basic setup of secure (802.1X) and guest (WebAAA ™ ) access, for configuring a Mobility Domain for roaming, and for accessing a sample network plan in 3WXM for advanced configuration and management.
This manual shows you how to plan, configure, deploy, and manage the entire WLAN with the 3WXM tool suite. Read this guide to learn how to plan wireless services, how to configure and deploy 3Com equipment to provide those services, and how to optimize and manage your WLAN.

BOUT UIDE Please note that we can only respond to comments and questions about 3Com product documentation at this e-mail address. Questions related to Technical Support or sales should be directed in the first instance to your network supplier.
Mobility 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.
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 54. Syntax Notation...
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.
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.

Table 3 gives examples of user globs. Table 3 User Globs User Glob jose@example.com *@example.com *@marketing.example.com *.*@marketing.example.com All marketing users at example.com whose EXAMPLE\* EXAMPLE\*.* 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.
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).
Virtual LAN The names of virtual LANs (VLANs), which are used in Mobility Domain Identification 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.

8: AAA C HAPTER OMMANDS However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an authentication request to the server group. MSS uses a last-resort authentication rule under the following conditions: For wireless access, MSS appends the requested SSID name to the user name last-resort.
A method can be one of the following: local — Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on the WX switch for authentication. server-group-name — Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing RADIUS server groups as methods.

WX database and sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server group. If the switch’s configuration contains a set authentication mac command that matches the SSID the user is attempting to access and the user’s MAC address, MSS uses the method specified by the command.
See the “Configuring AAA for Users of Third-Party APs” section in the “Configuring AAA for Network Users” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Examples — The following command configures a proxy authentication rule that matches on all usernames associated with SSID mycorp. MSS uses RADIUS server group srvrgrp1 to proxy RADIUS requests and hence to authenticate and authorize the users.
Configures an authentication rule to allow a user to log in to the network using a web page served by the WX switch. The rule can be activated if the user is not otherwise granted or denied access by 802.1X, or granted access by MAC authentication.

Usage — The WX switch does not apply security ACLs until you activate them with the commit security acl command and map them to a VLAN, port, or virtual port, or to a user. If the WX switch is reset or restarted, any ACLs in the edit buffer are lost.
Assigns a committed security ACL to a VLAN, physical port or ports, virtual port, or Distributed MAP on the WX switch. To assign a security ACL to a user or group in the local WX database, use the command set user attr, set mac-user attr, set usergroup attr, or set mac-usergroup attr with the Filter-Id attribute.

Depending on your network configuration, you must create keys and certificates to authenticate the WX switch to IEEE 802.1X wireless clients for which the WX switch performs authentication, and to 3Com wireless switch manager (3WXM) and Web Manager. Commands by This chapter presents cryptography commands alphabetically.
— Stores the certificate authority’s certificate that signed the admin administrative certificate for the WX switch. The administrative certificate authenticates the WX to 3Com wireless switch manager (3XWM) or Web Manager. — Stores the certificate authority’s certificate that signed the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) certificate for the WX switch.
Installs one of the WX switch’s PKCS #7 certificates into the certificate and key storage area on the WX switch. The certificate, which is issued and signed by a certificate authority, authenticates the WX switch either to 3WXM or Web Manager, or to 802.1X supplicants (clients).
