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

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.

5.1.5 Annotations
The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use when writing test or configuration scripts
and for better readability. The exclamation point ('!') character flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character
can begin a word anywhere on the command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any command line that begins
with the character '!' is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the parser. Some examples are provided below:
! Script file for displaying the ip interface
! Display information about interfaces
show ip interface 0/1 !Displays the information about the first interface
! Display information about the next interface
show ip interface 0/2
! End of the script file
