ways to obtain technical assistance and other technical resources. These sections explain how to obtain
technical information from Cisco Systems.

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).
Filenames
Filenames on the VPN Concentrator 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 Concentrator 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.
