Bad IP subnet masking on eth0

[Tamas]

Hi,

I faced an issue when I wanted to configure up eth0 as LAN, and with static IP settings. I wanted to configure up 10.169.10.132/25 IP address on the eth0 interface, but when I did that, I have lost connectivity to the device.
On console I saw that the eth0 was created but the routing table was incorrect.
`admin@mtcdt:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:00:4A:5F:17
inet addr:10.169.10.132 Bcast:10.169.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.128
admin@mtcdt:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.169.10.0 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0

So I started to investigate where this issue could come from, and found in file: /etc/init.d/lanup that the

let sn1=”$ip1&$nm1″
let sn2=”$ip2&$nm2″
let sn3=”$ip3&$nm3″
let sn4=”$ip1&$nm4″

Should be instead:
let sn1=”$ip1&$nm1″
let sn2=”$ip2&$nm2″
let sn3=”$ip3&$nm3″
let sn4=”$ip4&$nm4″

Let me know if this is correct assumption.
At least I did the modification, and worked for me, but I haven’t tested all subnet scenarios.

Tamas,

This is fixed in the latest firmware (AEP 1.7.2). I did not dig to see whether it is fixed in AEP-1.6.x.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for coming back.
Ok, I’ll check AEP 1.7.2 on Monday.
Have a nice weekend!
