Hi,
I have been setting up cobbler over the last couple of days. All has
been going well, can network boot using profiles. Was trying to add a
system with a fixed IP address (would like DHCP to configure this for
me). So tried the following and got these errors when I try to add an ip
address:
#cobbler system add --name=leo-d --mac=00:10:18:41:49:38
--profile=optiportal
#cobbler system edit --name=leo-d --interface=eth1 --ip=192.168.1.4
invalid format for IP address (192.168.1.4)
I am not sure what is wrong with the format of my IP address?
/var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log
# tail -n20 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log

Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks,
