cant add new object to network (error in MAC address)
« on: May 15, 2014, 08:23:10 am »
I dont know if its a bug or what, i cant add object to my network objects, it says that mac address i entered is invalid. 50:E5:49:A2:88:9F:D3 i checked it and it is 100% correct and online tools tells me that it is Gigabyte pool address.

All messages i get is "Invalid value for MAC address: 50:E5:49:A2:88:9F:D3." if i try use other, made up address it is ok, but this address seems to be invalid for validating algorithm.

I use Zentyal 3.4.3 with all updates installed.

I didn't know there were 7-group MAC addresses, but if there are, this is probably a bug. I suspect Zentyal limits MAC address to conventional 6-group addresses.

There aren't.

The first two digits (50?) represents the Ethernet media type. For a list of media type codes,
refer to the Address Resolution Protocol Parameters section of RFC
1700, Assigned Numbers.

So says Cisco. Never encountered it myself though.

Cheers.
