Preface
Conventions
Data Formats
As you configure and manage the system, enter data in the following formats unless the instructions
indicate otherwise:
Type of Data
Format
IP Addresses
IP addresses use 4-byte dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.168.12.34);
as the example indicates, you can omit leading zeros in a byte position.
Subnet Masks and
Wildcard Masks
Subnet masks use 4-byte dotted decimal notation (for example,
255.255.255.0). Wildcard masks use the same notation (for example,
0.0.0.255); as the example illustrates, you can omit leading zeros in a byte
position.
MAC Addresses
MAC addresses use 6-byte hexadecimal notation (for example,
00.10.5A.1F.4F.07).
Hostnames
Hostnames use legitimate network hostname or end-system name notation (for
example, VPN01). Spaces are not allowed. A hostname must uniquely identify
a specific system on a network.
Text Strings
Text strings use upper- and lower-case alphanumeric characters. Most text
strings are case-sensitive (for example, simon and Simon represent different
usernames). In most cases, the maximum length of text strings is 48
characters.
Filenames
Filenames on the VPN 3002 follow the DOS 8.3 naming convention: a
maximum of eight characters for the name, plus a maximum of three
characters for an extension. For example, LOG00007.TXT is a legitimate
filename. The VPN 3002 always stores filenames in uppercase.
Port Numbers
Port numbers use decimal numbers from 0 to 65535. No commas or spaces are
permitted in a number.
