[BUG] Adding IP with 32bit netmask not possible

Hi,

I want to add an additional IP address with 32-bit netmask on Plesk 10.2 (based on CentOS 5.6 64bit), but I keep getting this error, both via web UI as well as on CLI:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --create x.x.x.x -type shared -mask 255.255.255.255 -interface eth0
The specified IP address cannot be used on network interface. You need to specify a valid IP address with subnet prefix range or mask.

mask 255.255.255.254 is accepted, but is not technically correct. I'm quite sure it worked on Plesk 9.

Any hints apreciated!
Felix

I'd like to add that I am also having issues with this. Plesk is not accepting /32 or /255.255.255.255

Workaround:

Create IP in the system, goto Tools&Utilities->IP Addresses, hit Reread IP button

>> "Create IP in the system.."
-where??

Tools -> Utilities -> IP-Adressen
zufügen IP/32

Error: Die angegebene IP-Adresse kann nicht auf der Netzwerkoberfläche verwendet werden. Sie müssen eine gültige IP-Adresse mit einem Subnetz-Präfixbereich oder eine Maske angeben.

Tools -> Utilities -> IP-Adressen -> Neu einlesen (reread-IP-Button)

That don't work.

sorry but this are linux basics, i think you better ask your sysadmin!

you can try:
system-config-network-tui

read http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-centos-fedoracore-linux-network-card-configuration/ first and be sure you know what you are doing ...

I can see what you mean. Thanks. I must add the IP in Linux-System.

this problem should be fixed in "Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2.0 MU #8 [20-June-2011]"
