JGS524Ev2 ip config with no gateway
Hi,
I am setting up a new JGS524Ev2 device. In my network I don't have a gateway so I would leave the "gateway" field blank, but this results in a "IP Address: is not a valid IP address!" message.
What could I do?
I had a thought on using the IP itself as the gw, but I am not sure if it's safe/correct, is it?
Thank you very much in advance,
Andrea
I would suggest to reserve an IP address in the subnet for the default gateway purpose - even if it does not exist currently - and configure it accordingly.
