2.2.2.1 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 2-2 describes common parameter values and value
formatting.

Description
This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address
in the following formats:
a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
(8.8.8.8)
a.b.c.d
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexidecimal
and octal formats through the following input formats (where n is
any valid hexidecimal, octal or decimal number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexidecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)
The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by
colons, for example 00:06:29:32:81:40.
