•
mask —Specifies a valid subnet (network) mask IPv4 address in dotted
quad notation.

User Guidelines
When setting the netmask/prefix length on an IPv4 address, a space is
required between the address and the mask or prefix length. Setting an IP
address on the out-of-band port enables switch management over the out-of-
band port.
