Hi,
I have one very basic Question. We have Dell Force10 S4810 switch for quite some time. We were not able to set the gateway address in the switch though ip address can be set on the management interface. Everytime we tried to set the gateway, it threw error " Inconsistent address and mask." We kept the switch like that for a year. But I have decided to ask this to Dell forum. How your customers are handling the situation? Why such an essential config is kept difficult to configure??
This is the command syntax:
Force10(conf)#management route 172.16.27.0 /20 172.16.16.1
% Error: Inconsistent address and mask.
Management interface I set for the switch is : 172.16.27.102 Netmask 255.255.240.0
Gateway I want to configure is: 172.16.16.1
Thanks for your help and explanation.
