The {} curly braces indicate that a parameter must be chosen from the list of choices.

Values

ipaddr
This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal bytes ranging from
0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters consists of zeros (that is, 0.0.0.0). The interface IP
address of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.

macaddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for
example 00:06:29:32:81:40.

areaid Area IDs may be entered in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). An area
ID of 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the backbone. Area IDs have the same form as IP addresses, but
are distinct from IP addresses. The IP network number of the sub-netted network may be
used for the area ID.

routerid The value of must be entered in 4-digit dotted-decimal notation (for
example, 0.0.0.1). A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.

slot/port This parameter denotes a valid slot number and a valid port number. For example,
0/1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1. The field is composed of a valid
slot number and a valid port number separated by a forward slash (/).

logical slot/port This parameter denotes a logical slot number and logical port number
assigned. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG). The operator can use the
logical slot number and the logical port number to configure the port-channel.

double quotation marks.
