5. Enter the string to match in the String field.

In the CLI
To create a VLAN assignment rule for WLAN SSID:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-vlan <attribute>{equals|not-equals|starts-with|ends-
with|contains}<operator><VLAN-ID>|value-of}
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure a VLAN assignment rule for a wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <nname>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# set-vlan <attribute>{equals|not-equals|starts-
with|ends-with|contains}<operator><VLAN-ID>|value-of}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Example
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile Profile1
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "Profile1")# set-vlan mac-address-and-dhcp-options matches-regular-
expression ..link 100
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "Profile1")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Using Advanced Expressions in Role and VLAN Derivation Rules
For complex policies of role and VLAN derivation using device DHCP fingerprints, you can use a regular
expression to match against the combined string of the MAC address and the DHCP options. The combined
string is formed by concatenating the hexadecimal presentation of the MAC address and all of the DHCP
options sent by a particular device. The regular expression is a powerful pattern description language that can
be used to perform advanced pattern matching of the above string.
If the combined device fingerprint string matches the specified regular expression, the role or VLAN can be set
to the WLAN client.
The following table lists some of the most commonly used regular expressions, which can be used in user role
and user VLAN derivation rules:
Operator Description
. Matches any character. For example, l..k matches lack, lark, link, lock, look, Lync and so on.
\ Matches the character that follows the backslash. For example, \192.\.0\.. matches IP addresses
ranges that starting with 192.0, such as 192.0.1.1. The expression looks only for the single characters
that match.
[] Matches any one character listed between the brackets. For example, [bc]lock matches block and
clock.
