Snoop Commands 579
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Command Line Reference
Defaults
Snoop filters are unmapped by default.
Access
Enabled.
History
Introduced in WSS Software Version 4.0.
Usage
You can map the same filter to more than one radio. You can map up to eight filters to the
same radio. If more than one filter has the same observer, the AP sends only one copy of a packet
that matches a filter to the observer. After the first match, the AP sends the packet and stops
comparing the packet against other filters for the same observer.
If the filter does not have an observer, the AP still maintains a counter of the number of packets that match the
filter. (See show snoop stats on page 572.)
Examples
The following command maps snoop filter snoop1 to radio 2 on AP 3:
WSS# set snoop map snoop1 ap 3 radio 2
success: change accepted.

set snoop mode
Enables a snoop filter. A snoop filter does not take effect until you map it to an AP radio and enable the filter.
Examples
set snoop {filter-name | all}
mode {enable [stop-after num-pkts] | disable}
filter-name Name of the snoop filter.
ap ap-num Number of a AP to which to map the snoop filter.
radio 1 Radio 1 of the AP.
radio 2 Radio 2 of the AP. (This option does not apply to single-radio models.)
filter-name | all} Name of the snoop filter. Specify all to enable all snoop filters.
enable
[stop-after num-pkts]
Enables the snoop filter.
The stop-after option disables the filter after the specified
number of packets match the filter. Without the stop-after
option, the filter operates until you disable it or until the AP is
restarted.
disable Disables the snoop filter.
