Conguring and Managing Ports and VLANs

Clearing a Port (continued)

Note: If clients are connected to a wired authentication port through a downstream

third-party switch, the switch attempts to authenticate based on any trafc coming from

the switch, such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) BPDUs. In this case, disable repetitive

trafc emissions such as STP BPDUs from downstream switches. If you want to provide a

management path to a downstream switch, use MAC authentication.

Caution: When you clear a port, MSS ends user sessions that are using the port. A cleared

port is not placed in any VLANs, not even the default VLAN (VLAN 1).

For example, to clear the port-related settings from port 5 and reset the port as a network

port, type the following command:

DWS-1008# clear port type 5

This may disrupt currently authenticated users. Are you sure? (y/n) [n]y

success: change accepted.

Clearing a Distributed AP

To clear a Distributed AP, use the following command:

clear dap dap-num

Conguring a Port Name

Each switch port has a number but does not have a name by default. To set a port name,

use the following command:

set port port name name

You can specify only a single port number with the command. To set the name of port 3 to

adminpool, type the following command:

DWS-1008# set port 3 name adminpool

success: change accepted.

Caution: When you clear a Distributed AP, MSS ends user sessions that are using the AP.

Note. To avoid confusion, D-Link recommends that you do not use numbers as port

names.

Removing a Port Name

To remove a port name, use the following command:

clear port port-list name
