CLI Command 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, 0.0.0.1). The interface IP address of
0.0.0.0 is invalid. In some cases, the IP address can also be
entered as a 32-bit number.
macAddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated
by colons, for example 0:6:29:32:81:40.
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-deci-
mal 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 num-
ber. For example, 0.1 represents 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 period (.).
logical slot.port This parameter denotes a logical slot number and logical port
number assigned. This is applicable in the case of a LAG. The
operator can use the logical slot number and the logical port num-
ber to configure the LAG.
