Specifying Addresses and Identifiers in Commands
This section describes addresses and other identifiers that you can reference in CLI commands.
Address/Identifier Description
IP address For any command that requires entry of an IP address to specify a network entity, use IPv4
network address format in the conventional dotted decimal notation (for example,
10.4.1.258).
Netmask address For subnet addresses, specify a netmask in dotted decimal notation (for example,
255.255.255.0).
Media Access Control
(MAC) address
For any command that requires entry of a device’s hardware address, use the hexadecimal
format (for example, 00:05:4e:50:14:aa).
Service Set Identifier
(SSID)
A unique character string (sometimes referred to as a network name), consisting of no
more than 32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive (for example, WLAN-01).
Basic Service Set
Identifier (BSSID)
This entry is the unique hard-wireless MAC address of the AP. A unique BSSID applies to
each frequency— 802.11a and 802.11g—used from the AP. Use the same format as for a
MAC address.
Extended Service Set
Identifier (ESSID)
Typically the unique logical name of a wireless network. If the ESSID includes spaces, you
must enclose the name in quotation marks.
Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet interface
Any command that references a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface requires that
you specify the corresponding port on the controller in the format <slot>/<port>:
<slot> is always 1, except when referring to interfaces on the W-6000M3 controller(slots 0-
3).
The <port> parameter refers to the network interfaces that are embedded in the front panel
of the W-3000 series controller, or a W-6000M3 controller module installed in a W-6000
controller chassis. Port numbers start at 0 from the left-most position.
Use the show port status command to obtain the interface information currently available
from a controller.
