Method: NetAddr::EUI64.parse

Defined in:
lib/eui64.rb

.parse(addr) ⇒ Object

Parse an EUI-64 string into an EUI64 type. This will successfully parse most of the typically used formats such as:

  • aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff-00-11

  • aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00:11

  • aabb.ccdd.eeff.0011

  • aabbccddeeff0011

Although, in truth, its not picky about the exact format as long as it contains exactly 16 hex characters with the optional delimiting characters ‘-’, ‘:’, or ‘.’.
