Snoop Commands
Mobility System Software Command Reference Guide
Version 7.3
23 – 512
Defaults
Snoop filters are unmapped by default.
Access
Enabled.
History
Introduced in MSS 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 MP sends only one copy of a packet
that matches a filter to the observer. After the first match, the MP sends the packet and stops
comparing the packet against other filters for the same observer.
If the filter does not have an observer, the MP still maintains a counter of the number of packets
that match the filter. (See show snoop stats on page 23-514.)
Examples
The following command maps snoop filter snoop1 to radio 2 on MP 3:
MX# 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 MP radio and
enable the filter.

Defaults
Snoop filters are disabled by default.
Access

Usage
The filter mode is retained even if you disable and reenable the radio, or restart the MP or
the MX switch. Once the filter is enabled, you must use the disable option to disable it.
Examples
The following command enables snoop filter snoop1:
MX# set snoop snoop1 mode enable
filter-name Name of the snoop filter.
ap ap-num Number of an MP to which to map the snoop filter.
radio 1 Radio 1 of the MP.
radio 2 Radio 2 of the MP. (This option does not apply to single-radio models.)
