Common Parameter Values - NETGEAR M6100 Series Reference Manual

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. The following table describes common parameter values and value
formatting.

Description
This parameter is a valid IPv4 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)
• a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal
formats through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal
or decimal number):
• 0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format.)
• 0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros.)
• n (CLI assumes decimal format.)
This parameter is a valid IPv6 address. You can enter the IP address in the
following formats:
• FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.
Valid slot and port number separated by a forward slash. For example, 0/1
represents slot number 0 and port number 1.
Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a
port-channel (LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the
port-channel.
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, "System
Name with Spaces". An empty string ("") is not valid.
