Unfortunately, the network definition in GOsa allows only the classical
A-, B- and C-networks but not the 255.255.254.0 network mask which was
used before. (No idea why 255.255.254.0 was chosen in the beginning).
So we can either choose 255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 network masks for
our setup now. To keep the range of available network addresses as
flexible as possible, I decided to use a Class-A network mask. The
configuration of the tjener interface wasn't modified to reflect that,
as things are not yet settled.
Perhaps someone with deeper insights in the reasons why the network
was set up the way it is can comment on the issue and help how to
proceed with classical network masks best.
Best regards,
Andi
