Adaptive CLI you are configuring.
Validating IP Address Variables
Programatically, IP address attributes support four extended properties: IP_MASK, SUBNET,
ALLOW_32_BIT_MASK, and ALLOW_ANY_VALID_IP. The state of the first two largely defines
Dell OpenManage Network Manager’s responses.
IP_MASK —Determines whether Dell OpenManage Network Manager accepts an IP address OR
a subnet/subnet mask. The value accepted is an IP address attribute when false, subnet/
subnet mask when true.
SUBNET —This property determines whether a subnet value must be provided or not, and
controls display of the subnet portion of the widget. Valid subnet values are 1-31.
By default, when both of the above are false, the attribute only accepts valid IPv4 addresses. For
example: 10.10.10.4
If IP_MASK is false and SUBNET is true then Dell OpenManage Network Manager accepts any
valid IP address with a subnet specified. The address must be an IP within the specified subnet. For
example, 10.10.10.4/24 is a valid entry whereas 10.10.10.0/24 is invalid since it represents the
subnet id, not an actual address within the subnet.
