Entering Parameter Values

The conventions for entering parameter values depend on the type of
information the parameter defines.
• For parameters requiring an IP address, specify the address in
dot notation as a decimal number (from 0 to 255), a hexadecimal
number, or a combination of both: 192.9.200.100,
0xC0.0x9.0xC8.0x64, or 192.9.200.0x64.
• For parameters requiring a yes/no input, use either Y or N.
These parameters are not case sensitive.
• For parameters that define passwords, the na/admin command
show displays only "<set>" or "<unset>"; it never displays the
values entered for the parameters. If you forget a password after
setting it, you can reset it only by using the ROM monitor erase
command to erase all of the RA 6300's non-volatile memory.
Saving the configuration to a file (using the write
command) prevents having to reconfigure the RA 6300 if
non-volatile memory is erased.
• Parameters that require a string for input allow a maximum of 16
characters, unless otherwise specified.
