Addresses
MAC Addresses
MAC addresses are specified in 3 groups of four upper or lower case
hexadecimal characters separated by periods with no spaces, e.g.
0011.2233.FFee or by eight pairs of upper or lower case hexadecimal
characters separated by colons, e.g. 00:11:22:33:FF:ee. Leadings zeros must be
specified in all cases.
IPv4 Addresses
IPv4 addresses are specified by four groups of decimal integers in the range 0-
255, i.e. dotted quad notation. Leading zeros are not required. Example IPv4
addresses are 1.2.3.4 or 255.255.255.255.
The net mask, if specified, consists of four decimal digits in dotted quad
notation, e.g. 255.255.252.0 or a decimal prefix length preceded by a forward
slash and indicating the number of left justified 1 bits in the net mask. The
net mask is always separated from an IPv4 address by one or more spaces.
Examples:
1.2.3.0 /24 is equivalent to 1.2.3.0 255.255.255.0
IPv6 Addresses
IPv6 addresses may be expressed in up to eight blocks of four upper or lower
case hexadecimal characters. For simplification, the leading zeros of each 16
bit block may be omitted. One sequence of 16 bit blocks - containing only
zeros - may be replaced by a double colon"::", but not more than one at a
time. Example IPv6 addresses are:
Dropped zeros: 3ffe:ffff:100:f101:0:0:0:1 becomes 3ffe:ffff:100:f101::1
Local Host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 becomes ::1
Any host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 becomes ::
The prefix length, if specified, ranges from 1 to 128 and is specified by a
forward slash and a decimal number indicating the significant bits of the
address, e.g. 3ffe:ffff:100:f101:0:0:0:/64. No spaces are allowed between the
last address digit and the forward slash.
