HP MSL8096 IP config issues
When i tried configuring the MSL for SNMP monitoring (e.g.: 10.255.255.21) I got an "Invalid address for SNMP IPv4 Target #" error.
When trying to enter DNS servers in this range (10.255.255.1 and 2), the values remained 0.0.0.0 for both DNS entries with no additional feedback (I tried using 10.254.254.1 and the MSL tested the connectivity to this address).
Is there a way to circumvent this faulty IP check? Is there, for example a way to edit the Config Save file (.dbb) and then restore it?
I haven't had any luck with finding an editor for this filetype.

Re: HP MSL8096 IP config issues
SASJ, there are several windows and esx servers configured in that range, all fully functional.
As a matter of trial and error I tried changing the main IP of the tape library from 10.255.255.228 to several unused IPs in the same network. This resulted in "Invalid IPv4 address!" errors.
I reckon this is caused by us using the all-ones subnet in the 10.* private range. Using the all-ones subnet (10.255.255.0/24) and subnet zero (10.0.0.0/24) is normally allowed. Only legacy applications could have problems with these networks.
Why can't the Command View MSL handle these? And how can I circumvent this without using another range?

Re: HP MSL8096 IP config issues
SASJ, that would be the easiest fix indeed. But the IP ranges have already been defined and the environment is configured and working in that range. Normally this range should not pose a problem.
I'd like to resolve the problem on the MSL itself. I can always use specific routes between the SNMP target and the MSL, a very messy approach, but I'd rather solve the problem on the faulty component.
