character strings
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings,
for example, “System Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is
not valid.
4.1.4 Conventions
„ Network addresses are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation or
network. Network addresses are shown using the following syntax:
Table 1. Network Address Syntax
Address Type Format Range
ipaddr
192.165.11.110 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
(decimal)
macaddr
A7:C9:89:DD:A9:B3 hexidecimal digit pairs
„ Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user defined
strings. If the operator wishes to use spaces as part of a name parameter then it
must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
„ Empty strings (““) are not valid user defined strings.
„ Command completion finishes spelling the command when enough letters of a com-
mand are typed to uniquely identify the command word. The command may be exe-
cuted by typing <enter> (command abbreviation) or the command word may be
completed by typing the <tab> or <space bar> (command completion). The value
'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This should
never happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not handled
correctly.
„ The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.
4.1.5 Annotations
The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use
when writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability. The exclamation point
(‘!’) character flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a
word anywhere on the command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any
command line that begins with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and
ignored by the parser.
