A string of characters whose exact syntax is that for a DECnet or X25 circuit identification. For DDCMP circuits, the circuit identification is in the form dev-c-u.t, for example, DMP-0.1. For Ethernet circuits, the circuit identification is a string in the form dev-c, for example, UNA-0. For FDDI circuits, the circuit identification is a string in the form dev-c, for example, MFA-0. For X25 circuits, the circuit identification is a string of up to 15 characters beginning with "X25-".
