Network configuration problem

Hello,

I have trouble to configure parametars of my Ethernet Connection.

I need to configure IPv4 tab (manual) to look like this:

IP Netmask Gateway
10.10.1.234 255.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

when I open configuration after saving, IPv4 tab looks like this:

IP Netmask Gateway
10.10.1.234 8

Can someone help me fix this problem?

Regards,
Vladica

It is not a problem; your mask is wide open at 255.0.0.0 which means it uses just 8 bits. Sometimes we write 10.10.1.0/24 meaning there are 255 hosts in that subnet. If you make it /16, there are 255^2 hosts, in your case /8 is 255^3 hosts, that’s 16,777,216 IPs.

This may help … https://www.psychz.net/client/question/en/what-is-the-meaning-of-100008.html
