Force10 Networks S2410s manual Network Address Syntax, Ipaddr, Macaddr

unit/slot/port—Valid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For example, 0/1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.

logical unit/slot/port—Logical unit, slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a link aggregation group (LAG; also called a port channel). The operator can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the LAG.

character strings—Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.

Addresses

Network addresses are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation or network. Network addresses are shown using the following syntax:

Table 2 Network Address Syntax

Address Type	Format	Range
ipaddr	192.165.11.110	0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
		(decimal)
macaddr	A7:C9:89:DD:A9:B3	hexadecimal digit pairs

Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user defined strings. If the operator wishes to use spaces as part of a name parameter then it must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

Empty strings are not valid user-defined strings.

Command completion finishes spelling the command when enough letters of a command are entered to uniquely identify the command word. The command may be executed by pressing ENTER (command abbreviation) or the command word may be completed by pressing the Tab key or Spacebar (command completion).

The value 'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This should never happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not handled correctly.

The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.

Annotations

The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use when writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability. The exclamation point (‘!’) character flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word anywhere on the command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any command line that begins with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the parser.
