Hello,

I want to set up my router board but I can't connect to it. I added to my interface lan 2 (ether2) the ip-address = 10.10.2.0. After that I added the ip-address= 10.10.2.1 to the interface of my laptop which is connected to the board. But when I now try to do a connection via ssh then I got a time out. When I try the same with the ip address = 192.168.88.1 on the router board and 192.168.88.2 on my laptop it worked. So why does 10.10.2.0 not work?

10.10.2.0 is not a valid IP address for a port/interface?

Valid addressed are w.x.y.z where z is in the range 1-254, 0 is reserved "network" and 255 is reserved "broadcast".

Try setting it to 10.10.2.2 (and keep the laptop on 10.10.2.1)

Thanks a lot, it worked.

Why did you not specify a subnet mask?

10.10.2.0 is not a valid IP address for a port/interface?

As a blanket statement that is incorrect. It depends what the subnet mask is. For example, 10.10.2.0/22 is perfectly valid.

Well, consider it as a bedsheet doubt, instead.
