Syntax Checks
This appendix describes the syntax checks that are performed on the router configuration files by the Cisco Netsys Baseliner software.
Syntax errors are reported in the Baseline Summary report's Syntax Errors subsidiary report.
To view this report, open the Baseline Summary report and double-click on the Syntax Errors row of the Results grid (or select it and click the Show Report button).
Following is a list and brief description (where needed) of the syntax checks performed by the Cisco Netsys Baseliner software. The checks are divided into AppleTalk, Frame Relay, IP, Novell/IPX, SRB, SNA, DLSW, and general categories.
- Command valid for OSPF only.
- Interface subcommand not preceded by interface major command.
- Interface not allowed with OUT in case of OSPF.
- Invalid access list number. The command requires a standard IP access list number. Must be in the range 1 through 99.
- Invalid bridge number. Must be in the range 1 through 15.
- Invalid channel group. Must be in the range 0 through 23.
- Invalid command specified. The command default-metric with multiple metrics can be applied to an IGRP routing process only.
- Invalid configuration command.
- Invalid EIGRP external distance. Must be in the range 1 through 255.
- Invalid EIGRP internal distance. Must be in the range 1 through 255.
- Invalid encapsulation type.
- Invalid ICMP code. Must be in the range 0 through 255.
- Invalid ICMP message name.
- Invalid ICMP type. Must be in the range 0 through 255.
- Invalid IGMP message name.
- Invalid IGMP type. Must be in the range 0 through 15.
- Invalid interface name. Valid interface names (case insensitive) are: null, hssi, fddi, serial, ethernet, tokenring, bri, loopback, dialer, async, tunnel, and atm.
- Invalid IP address.
- Invalid maximum hops. In the command metric maximum-hops <hops>, hop count must be in the range 1 through 255.
- Invalid net mask.
- Invalid OSPF cost value. Must be in the range 1 through 65535.
- Invalid OSPF metric type value. Must be 1 or 2.
- Invalid port number. Must be in the range 0 through 7.
- Invalid port name in IP extended access list.
- Invalid precedence level. Must be in the range 0 through 7.
- Invalid precedence name in IP extended access list.
- Invalid priority-list number. Must be in the range 1 through 10.
- Invalid protocol command. The timers-basic command can only be used for EGP, RIP, or IGRP.
- Invalid protocol number. In the extended IP access list command, the protocol number must be in the range 0 through 255.
- Invalid queue size. Must be in the range 10 through 500.
- Invalid slot number. Must be in the range 0 through 12.
- Invalid subinterface number. Must be in the range from 1 through 4294967293.
- Invalid TOS level. Must be in the range 0 through 15.
- Invalid TOS name in IP extended access list.
- Invalid TOS value. TOS must have a value of 0 in the command
metric weights TOS K1 K2 K3 K4 K5.
- Invalid Type of Service value. Must be in the range 0 through 15.
- Invalid variance multiplier. Must be nonzero positive integer.
- Invalid weight value. In the command metric <weight>, <weight> must be an integer in the range 10 through 255.
- Multiple active access-group commands per interface. There should be only one active access-group command per interface.
- Missing autonomous system number. In the router global command, an autonomous system number must be specified for the following routing protocols: IGRP, BGP, OSPF, and EGP.
- Must delete all secondary IP addresses before deleting primary address.
- This command must be preceded by a router eigrp command.
