0x denotes a hexadecimal number/entry. Technically it should always be
proceeded with 0x

Subject: hex problems
I have never understood this and it may be simple but I don't get it.
When dealing with hexadecimal numbers why are they written sometimes like
0x1244 and other times just 12fe ?
What the heck is with the 0x stuff?
What does that do when you put 0x at the front?
I just tried to enter a static cam entry into a Cat5000 and entered the mac
as 00b0d090bb27 but I got an error message saying:
"Route descriptor must be a hex value 0..0xffff"
I am confused. I am just a simple man and I don't understand this stuff, can
someone help me out here?
