If you try to enter a value outside of the legal value range for the mtu parameter,
the BCC displays an error message to notify you of the problem:
classical-ip-service/dallas# mtu 12000
For data type ‘int’:
Bad input value: value ‘12000’ out of range
Legal values: RANGE(0-9188)
Specifying Name or String Values
Many BCC configuration parameters accept an alphanumeric string value.
Typically, these are name parameters with values that do not include space
characters.
Examples:
polname abc123
polname abc-123
polname ABC-123
To enter an alphanumeric string that includes spaces, enclose the entire value
within braces or quotes, for example:
polname {Abc 123}
or
polname “Abc 123”
For parameters of this data type, the BCC treats any space characters between the
braces as part of the alphanumeric string.
Disabling, Reenabling, and Deleting a Configured Object
Use the commands in Table to disable, reenable, and delete any object in the
current configuration context, or the immediate/adjacent subcontext.
