HOW TO USE THE ACLI DATA ENTRY
Text Format Text entries (e.g., description fields) do not need to follow a particular format. Text
fields can accommodate any combination of printable numerical and alphabetical
characters, spaces, and most symbols. Noted exceptions are the ampersand (&), the
apostrophe (‘), and the less than symbol (<). Entries with spaces must be entered
fully within quotation marks. For example, “This is the official Acme Packet Net-Net
SBC configuration” is a valid text entry.
Time of Day Format Time of day entries must include only numerical characters (0-9) and must follow the
4-digit military time format (e.g., 1400). Time of day entries set the time of day that
attributes can be considered for preference determination. The minimum field value
is 0000, and the maximum field value is 2400.
Preset Values All configurations share one field: last-modified-date. This field value is set by the
system database and can not be altered. It displays the date and time of the last
modified action. The system sets this value automatically.
Default Values By default, the system populates some ACLI values with preset system values if you
do not configure them.
Error Messages The ACLI produces error messages when information cannot be saved or commands
cannot be executed. These events may occur when there is a problem either with the
command itself, the information entered, the format of the information entered, or
with the system in general.
For example, if you enter several words for a description and you do not put the entry
inside quotation marks, the ACLI will tell you that you have entered an invalid
number of arguments. In the example below, a user entered a media-type field value
of “audio visual,” but did not enclose the value in quotation marks (“”).
ACMEPACKET(media-profile)# media-type audio visual
invalid number of arguments
ACMEPACKET(media-profile)#
When the value does not conform to format requirements, the ACLI returns a
message that you have made an invalid entry for a given field. In the example below,
a user entered an invalid IP address.
ACMEPACKET(snmp-community)# ip-addresses (1877.5647.457.2 45.124
254.65.23)
invalid IP address
ACMEPACKET(snmp-community)#
