Parameters
Parameters are order dependent.
The text in bold italics should be replaced with a name or number. To use spaces as part of a
name parameter, enclose it in double quotes like this: "System Name with Spaces".
Parameters may be mandatory values, optional values, choices, or a combination.
− <parameter>. The <> angle brackets indicate that a mandatory parameter must be entered in
place of the brackets and text inside them.
− [parameter]. The [] square brackets indicate that an optional parameter may be entered in place
of the brackets and text inside them.
− choice1 | choice2. The | indicates that only one of the parameters should be entered.
The {} curly braces indicate that a parameter must be chosen from the
list of choices.
Values
ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal bytes ranging from 0 to 255. The
default for all IP parameters consists of zeros (that is, 0.0.0.0). The interface IP address of 0.0.0.0 is
invalid.
macaddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example
00:06:29:32:81:40.
areaid Area IDs may be entered in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). An area ID of 0.0.0.0
is reserved for the backbone. Area IDs have the same form as IP addresses, but are distinct from IP
addresses. The IP network number of the sub-netted network may be used for the area ID.
routerid The value of <router id> must be entered in 4-digit dotted-decimal notation (for
example, 0.0.0.1). A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
slot/port This parameter denotes a valid slot number, and a valid port number. For example, 0/1
represents unit number 1, slot number 0 and port number 1. The <slot/port> field is composed of a valid
slot number and a valid port number separated by a forward slash (/).
logical slot/port This parameter denotes a logical slot number, and logical port number
assigned. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG). The operator can use the
logical slot number, and the logical port number to configure the port-channel.
