Common Parameter Values
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name parameter, enclose the
name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System Name with Spaces” forces the system to
accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid user-defined strings. Table 2 describes common parameter
values and value formatting.
Table 2: Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address. Enter the IP address in a the standard dotted
decimal format, for example 192.168.2.10.
In addition to the standard format, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal
formats through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal
or decimal number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format.)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros.)
n (CLI assumes decimal format.)
ipv6-address
FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.
Interface or
unit/slot/port
Valid slot and port number separated by a forward slash. For example, 1/0/1
represents unit number 1, slot number 0, and port number 1.
Logical Interface Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-
channel (LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the port-channel.
Character strings Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System
Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
