NOTE: You must purchase and install
the xSec software module license in the
controller.
point-to-point
MAC address of the controller that is the
xSec tunnel termination point, and the
16-byte shared key used to authenticate
the controllers to each other. The key
must be the same on both controllers.
— —
allowed vlan
VLANs that are allowed on the xSec
tunnel.
— —
mtu
(Optional) MTU size for the xSec tunnel. — —
vlan
xSec VLAN ID. For controller-to-
controller communications, both
controllers must belong to the same
VLAN.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure settings for the controller interface, including duplex, LLDP and switchport
settings. You can issue the show port status command to obtain information about the interfaces currently
available on the controller.
Interface Bandwidth Contracts
W-7000 Series controllers have the ability to classify and identify applications on the network. If a W-7000
Series controller is configured as a branch controller, you can create bandwidth contracts to limit traffic for
individual applications (or categories of applications) either sent from or received by a selected interface. There
are two basic models for using this feature.
l Limiting lower-priority traffic: If there is a lower-priority application or application type that you want to
limit, apply a bandwidth contract just to that application, and allow all other application traffic to pass
without any limits.
l Protecting higher-priority traffic: If you want to guarantee bandwidth for a company-critical application
or application group, you can add that application to an exception list, then apply a bandwidth contract to
all remaining traffic.
You can apply bandwidth contracts using one or both of these models. Each interface supports up to 64
bandwidth contracts.
Interface contract Precedence
An interface bandwidth contract is applied to downstream traffic before a user-role bandwidth contract is
applied, and for upstream traffic, the user-role bandwidth contract is applied before the interface bandwidth
contract. For all traffic using compression and encryption, bandwidth contracts are applied after that traffic is
compressed and encrypted. If you apply more than one bandwidth contract to any specific category type, then
the bandwidth contracts are applied in the following order.
1. A contract that explicitly excludes an application
2. A contract that explicitly excludes an application category
3. A contract that applies to a specific application
