Can't set IP address on M2402 NSR

[John Gunson]

I need to assign my NSR the IP address 10.1.255.40. It gives me an error message stating that it is an invalid IP address. I remember from Cisco training that some vendors don't like to use the 255 subnet. How can I override this and use my intended address?

Thanks,

This is a known issue:

> Previously, users could not enter in a

The new firmware 5.03.xx is currently in the test process, and should be released this month.

255 is reserved for broadcast ip addresses. You will not be able to override. Use another ip address on the 0 - 254 range.
