Managed Switch CLI Manual, Release 8.0
Using the Command-Line Interface 1-3
v1.0, July 2009
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 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
Unit/Slot/Port Naming Convention
Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a unit/slot/
port naming convention. The software also uses this convention to identify certain logical entities,
such as Port-Channel interfaces.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
ipaddr 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)
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)
ipv6-address
FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.
Interface or
unit/slot/port Valid unit, slot, and port number separated by forward slashes. For example, 0/1
represents slot number 0 and port number 1.
Logical Interface 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.
Character strings Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System Name
with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
