The full definition reads like this:

  typedef hex-string {
    type string {
      pattern '[0-9a-fA-F]{2}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{2})*';
    }
    description
     "A hexadecimal string with octets represented as hex digits
      separated by colons.  The canonical representation uses 
      lowercase characters.";
  }
