Documentation conventions
We use these typographic conventions in this manual:
Data formats
As you configure and manage the system, enter data in these formats unless the instructions indicate
otherwise.
IP addresses
IP addresses use 4-byte dotted decimal notation; for example, 192.168.12.34. 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. 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 host 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 alphanumeric characters, upper- and lower-case. Most text strings are case-sensitive; for
example,
simon and Simon represent different usernames. The maximum length of text strings is
generally 48 characters.
