IP address and network mask formats
IP addresses and network masks can be expressed in different ways in
the CLI.
IP addresses

10.0.0.1
•
According to the formats below:
—
A.B.C.D
= A.B.C.D, the equivalent of dotted decimal notation
—
A.B.D
= A.B.0.D — that is,
10.1.10

—
A.D
= A.0.0.D — that is,
10.1
translates to
10.0.0.1
