Title: Nokia static route problem with rfc 1918 (private address space using 192.168.1.x)

While I am not certain I suspect that IPSO doesn't like that address because .6 would nominally be the broadcast address for that subnet.  If you either increased the subnet size or tried .5 or .4 it would most likely work.  I am a little suprised that your other box accepted the broadcast address as a valid ip address.  What is the IP of the Firewall itself?

I recently purchased two Nokia 440's and am in the process of configuring them using static routing.

I have tried to enter the following static route in the box using Voyager:

New static route 204.79.199.0  Mask length 24  Next hop type: Normal  Gateway: 192.168.142.6

And I get the error:  Invalid IP Address 192.168.142.6
                             Invalid IP Address 204.79.199.0

One of my interfaces has the addressing of 192.168.142.0/29 which means that all hosts between .1 and .6 are valid and the gateway of 192.168.142.6 is a valid gateway.

Why?  My current Solaris box certian access this static route?  Why can't this box accept static routes using RFC 1918 addressing?
