Additional 0.0.0.0/0 address on all interfaces?

Hi, when I run show system interface ? I get the following

 

fg100d-01 # show system interface ?  name Name. IF-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable IF-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable IF-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable IF-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable VPN_xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 up disable tunnel enable dmz static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 up disable physical enable dmz-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable fext-wan1 dhcp 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255 up disable fext-wan enable ha1 static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 up disable physical enable ha2 static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 up disable physical enable mgmt static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable physical enable

 

Notice that every interface has a 0.0.0.0/0 address in addition to their correct address.

When i show the config on one interface the 0.0.0.0/0 address does not show

 

fg100d-01 # show system interface FL-xxx config system interface edit "FL-xxx" set vdom "root" set dhcp-relay-service enable set ip 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess fabric set device-identification enable set role lan set snmp-index 33 set dhcp-relay-ip "192.168.xx.xx" set interface "port4" set vlanid xx next end

 

I also just started using NetXMS for monitoring and that is reporting an invalid netmask of /0 on each interface

Is this normal or not? If not how can I fix it?

 

Thanks

Leif

"0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" just means either you didn't statically configured IP or it hasn't pulled an IP via DHCP/pppoe yet. That's normal. In other words, "show sys int ?" is the way to see those dynamically assigned IPs to interfaces.

That would be normal if I didnt configure a static address, but all these interfaces has static addresses assigned to them. 

For example this: IF-xxx static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.1 255.255.255.0 up disable vlan enable

This has 192.168.xxx.1/24 statically assigned to it, but also show 0.0.0.0/0

In the GUI its no sign of the 0.0.0.0/0 address

I see. Now I understand what you mean.

To be honest, I don't know what the "first" 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 mean. Seems to be only the "second" 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 is meaningful. I never questioned about it. Might be a good question to TAC through a ticket.
