Double asterisks (**) represent

usernames. A single asterisk (*) can appear either before
or after the delimiter in a user glob and can represent any number of characters up to the next

VLAN
Virtual LAN. A set of ports that share a single Layer 2 network. Because the ports that constitute
a VLAN can be on a single network device or multiple devices, VLANs enable you to partition
a physical network into logical networks that meet the needs of your organization. You can
divide a single device into multiple logical Layer 2 switches, with each VLAN operating as a
separate switch, or make multiple devices members of multiple logical Layer 2 networks. By
default, all DWS-1008 switch ports are members of VLAN 1, which is named
default
.
VLAN glob
A D-Link convention for applying the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)
attributes in the location policy on a switch to one or more users, based on a virtual LAN
(VLAN) attribute. To specify all VLANs, use the double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters. To
match any number of characters up to, but not including a delimiter character in the glob, use
the single-asterisk wildcard. Valid VLAN glob delimiter characters are the
at
(@) sign and the
dot (.). See also
