In addition, the CLI does not support the use of international characters such as
the accented É in DÉCOR.
MAC Address Notation
UNIVERGE WL Control System displays MAC addresses in hexadecimal
numbers with a colon (:) delimiter between bytes—for example,
00:01:02:1a:00:01. You can enter MAC addresses with either hyphen (-) or colon
(:) delimiters, but colons are preferred.
For shortcuts:
l You can exclude leading zeros when typing a MAC address. UNIVERGE WL
Control System displays of MAC addresses include all leading zeros.
l In some specified commands, you can use the single-asterisk (*) wildcard
character to represent from 1 byte to 5 bytes of a MAC address. (For more
information, see “MAC Address Globs” on page 10.)
IP Address and Mask Notation
UNIVERGE WL Control System displays IP addresses in dotted decimal
notation—for example, 192.168.1.111. UNIVERGE WL Control System makes
use of both subnet masks and wildcard masks.
Subnet Masks
Unless otherwise noted, use classless interdomain routing (CIDR) format to
express subnet masks—for example, 192.168.1.112/24. You indicate the subnet
mask with a forward slash (/) and specify the number of bits in the mask.
Wildcard Masks
Security access control lists (ACLs) use source and destination IP addresses and
wildcard masks to determine whether the UNIVERGE WL Controller filters or
forwards IP packets. Matching packets are either permitted or denied network
access. The ACL checks the bits in IP addresses that correspond to any 0s (zeros)
in the mask, but does not check the bits that correspond to 1s (ones) in the mask.
You specify the wildcard mask in dotted decimal notation.
