| as-number |
uint32 |
The as-number type represents autonomous system numbers
which identify an Autonomous System (AS). An AS is a set
of routers under a single technical administration, using
an interior gateway protocol and common metrics to route
packets within the AS, and using an exterior gateway
protocol to route packets to other ASes. IANA maintains
the AS number space and has delegated large parts to the
regional registries.
Autonomous system numbers were originally limited to 16
bits. BGP extensions have enlarged the autonomous system
number space to 32 bits. This type therefore uses an uint32
base type without a range restriction in order to support
a larger autonomous system number space.
In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent
to the InetAutonomousSystemNumber textual convention of
the SMIv2. |

| domain-name |
string |
The domain-name type represents a DNS domain name. The
name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible.
Internet domain names are only loosely specified. Section
3.5 of RFC 1034 recommends a syntax (modified in Section
2.1 of RFC 1123). The pattern above is intended to allow
for current practice in domain name use, and some possible
future expansion. It is designed to hold various types of
domain names, including names used for A or AAAA records
(host names) and other records, such as SRV records. Note
that Internet host names have a stricter syntax (described
in RFC 952) than the DNS recommendations in RFCs 1034 and
1123, and that systems that want to store host names in
schema nodes using the domain-name type are recommended to
adhere to this stricter standard to ensure interoperability.
The encoding of DNS names in the DNS protocol is limited
to 255 characters. Since the encoding consists of labels
prefixed by a length bytes and there is a trailing NULL
byte, only 253 characters can appear in the textual dotted
notation.
The description clause of schema nodes using the domain-name
type MUST describe when and how these names are resolved to
IP addresses. Note that the resolution of a domain-name value
may require to query multiple DNS records (e.g., A for IPv4
and AAAA for IPv6). The order of the resolution process and
which DNS record takes precedence can either be defined
explicitly or may depend on the configuration of the
resolver.
Domain-name values use the US-ASCII encoding. Their canonical
format uses lowercase US-ASCII characters. Internationalized
domain names MUST be A-labels as per RFC 5890. |

by allowing zone identifiers in the address format. |

| ipv4-address |
string |
The ipv4-address type represents an IPv4 address in
dotted-quad notation. The IPv4 address may include a zone
index, separated by a % sign.
The zone index is used to disambiguate identical address
values. For link-local addresses, the zone index will
typically be the interface index number or the name of an
interface. If the zone index is not present, the default
zone of the device will be used.
The canonical format for the zone index is the numerical
format |

| ipv4-prefix |
string |
The ipv4-prefix type represents an IPv4 address prefix.
The prefix length is given by the number following the
slash character and must be less than or equal to 32.
A prefix length value of n corresponds to an IP address
mask that has n contiguous 1-bits from the most
significant bit (MSB) and all other bits set to 0.

mixed, shortened, and shortened-mixed notation. The IPv6
address may include a zone index, separated by a % sign.
The zone index is used to disambiguate identical address
values. For link-local addresses, the zone index will
typically be the interface index number or the name of an
interface. If the zone index is not present, the default
zone of the device will be used.
The canonical format of IPv6 addresses uses the compressed
format described in RFC 4291, Section 2.2, item 2 with the
following additional rules: the :: substitution must be
applied to the longest sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks
in an IPv6 address. If there is a tie, the first sequence
of all-zero 16-bit chunks is replaced by ::. Single
all-zero 16-bit chunks are not compressed. The canonical
format uses lowercase characters and leading zeros are
not allowed. The canonical format for the zone index is
the numerical format as described in RFC 4007, Section
11.2. |

| ipv6-prefix |
string |
The ipv6-prefix type represents an IPv6 address prefix.
The prefix length is given by the number following the
slash character and must be less than or equal to 128.
A prefix length value of n corresponds to an IP address
mask that has n contiguous 1-bits from the most
significant bit (MSB) and all other bits set to 0.
The IPv6 address should have all bits that do not belong
to the prefix set to zero.

| port-number |
uint16 |
The port-number type represents a 16-bit port number of an
Internet transport-layer protocol such as UDP, TCP, DCCP, or
SCTP. Port numbers are assigned by IANA. A current list of
all assignments is available from <http://www.iana.org/>.
Note that the port number value zero is reserved by IANA. In
situations where the value zero does not make sense, it can
be excluded by subtyping the port-number type.

| uri |
string |
The uri type represents a Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI) as defined by STD 66.
Objects using the uri type MUST be in US-ASCII encoding,
and MUST be normalized as described by RFC 3986 Sections
6.2.1, 6.2.2.1, and 6.2.2.2. All unnecessary
percent-encoding is removed, and all case-insensitive
characters are set to lowercase except for hexadecimal
digits, which are normalized to uppercase as described in
Section 6.2.2.1.
The purpose of this normalization is to help provide
unique URIs. Note that this normalization is not
sufficient to provide uniqueness. Two URIs that are
textually distinct after this normalization may still be
equivalent.
Objects using the uri type may restrict the schemes that
they permit. For example, 'data:' and 'urn:' schemes
might not be appropriate.
A zero-length URI is not a valid URI. This can be used to
express 'URI absent' where required.
In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent
to the Uri SMIv2 textual convention defined in RFC 5017. |
