40| The Basic User-Centric Networks AOS-W 6.5.3.x| User Guide
This chapter and the user guide in general focus on CLI and standard WebUI configuration examples. However, basic
switch configuration and WLAN/LAN creation can be completed using the alternative wizards from within the WebUI. If
you wish to use a configuration wizard, navigate to Configuration > Wizards, click on the desired wizard, and follow
the imbedded help instructions within the wizard.
OAW-40xx Series and OAW-4x50 Series Switches
The OAW-40xx Series and OAW-4x50 Series switches are new switch platforms introduced in conjunction with
AOS-W 6.4.x and 6.2, respectively. These switches provide new functionality and improved capabilities over
previous switches. However, a OAW-40xx Series and OAW-4x50 Series switch also introduces some changes
that you must keep in mind when adding it to your network.
New Port Numbering Scheme
The OAW-40xx Series and OAW-4x50 Series switches use a different port numbering scheme than older model
switches. All other switch platforms use a slot/port numbering scheme. Both the OAW-40xx Series and OAW-
4x50 Series switches use slot/module/port instead.
It is important to consider this when migrating an older switch to either the OAW-40xx Series or OAW-4x50
Series. If you load a configuration from a switch, that switch will not have network connectivity because any
interface configuration will not be recognized. For information about migrating to OAW-40xx Series and OAW-
4x50 Series switches, see the AOS-W 6.2 Release Notes.
OAW-4x50 Series Switches Individual Port Behavior
The first two ports on the OAW-4x50 Series switches, 0/0/0 and 0/0/1 are dual media ports and can be used for
any purpose. Ports 0/0/2 through 0/0/5 are fiber-based ports that can be used for any purpose. If the fiber-
based ports are connected with RJ45 or Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, these ports can
function as 1 GBps ports. For accessing the switch, port 0/0/0 to 0/0/5 can be used when 0/0/2 through 0/0/5
are connected with RJ45 or SFP transceivers.
The following table describes the connector and speed supported for each physical interfaces of the OAW-4x50
Series switches.
Port Type Ports Connector Type Speed
10/100/1000 BASE-T Dual Media
Ports
0/0/0-0/0/1 RJ45 or SFP 1 GBps
10G BASE-X 0/0/2-0/0/5

Switch Port-Security MAC Address Limitation
Starting from AOS-W 6.5, the MAC address limitation, a port-security feature, is enhanced for the OAW-40xx
Series and OAW-4x50 Series Switches. You can enable or disable this functionality using the WebUI or the CLI.
In earlier versions of AOS-W, the option to configure the maximum number of MAC addresses that a port can
support is available. The enhancement to this MAC address limitation feature in this release of AOS-W is that if
the number of MAC addresses exceeds the maximum limit set for the port, the new MAC entries are dropped.
The switchport port-security command is enhanced to include parameters for setting the levels of security
and autorecovery interval time. You can set appropriate values for the level parameter to log a warning
