; error -123: illegal ip address
This error indicates that you supplied an invalid value where an IP address is required. IP addresses should be
specified in “dotted-quad” notation: four decimal values, each between 0 and 255 inclusive, separated by dots
(e.g., 192.168.1.1).
Example:
#interface ethernet 0 ip address xyz
; error -123: illegal ip address
#interface ethernet 0 192.168.256.1/24
; error -123: illegal ip address
; error -124: illegal ip mask
This error indicates that you supplied an invalid value where an IP mask is required. An IP mask always may be
entered in “dotted-quad” notation -- four decimal values, each between 0 and 255 inclusive, separated by dots
(e.g., 255.255.255.0). Whenever the IP mask is being entered in conjunction with an IP address, it may also be
entered in “prefix” notation -- a slash (“/”) immediately following the IP address, followed by a value between 0
and 32 inclusive indicating the number of contiguous ones-bits in the mask (e.g., /24). Note that IP mask
values entered in dotted-quad notation must consist of a contiguous number of ones-bits beginning with the
most significant bit. IP masks with discontiguous ones-bits (such as 255.0.255.0) are invalid.
Example:
#int e0 ip address 163.176.1.1/40
; error -124: illegal ip mask
; error -125: invalid index
This error indicates that the command referenced a currently non-existent instance of an indexed object. The
specified index value might be valid at some point if the appropriate instance of the object were created.
Example:
#show frame-relay dlci 22
; error -125: invalid index
#frame-relay dlci 22 tag "My DLCI"
#show frame-relay dlci 22
frame-relay dlci 22 tag "My DLCI" ip-address 0.0.0.0 cir

; error -126: number required
This error indicates that a non-numeric value was entered where a numeric one was required.
