A media access control (MAC) address glob is a similar method for 
matching some authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and 
forwarding database (FDB) commands to one or more 6-byte MAC 
addresses. In a MAC address glob, you can use a single asterisk (*) as a 
wildcard to match all MAC addresses, or as follows to match from 1 byte 
to 5 bytes of the MAC address:

00:*
00:01:*
00:01:02:*
00:01:02:03:*
00:01:02:03:04:*

For example, the MAC address glob 02:06:8c* represents all MAC 
addresses starting with 02:06:8c. Specifying only the first 3 bytes of a 
MAC address allows you to apply commands to MAC addresses based on 
an organizationally unique identity (OUI).

A VLAN glob is a method for matching one of a set of local rules on a WX 
switch, known as the location policy, to one or more users. MSS 
compares the VLAN glob, which can optionally contain wildcard 
characters, against the VLAN-Name attribute returned by AAA, to 
determine whether to apply the rule.
