Public bug reported:
== Comment: #0 - Thorsten Diehl - 2016-02-04 08:52:12 ==
During the very early phase of the installer (build 416) within the z/VM
console, when I enter e.g. the IP address and append by accident one ore more
trailing blanks, the IP address is treated as malformed.
Recommendation: leading and trailing blanks should be ignored.
Configure a network using static addressing
-------------------------------------------
The IP address is unique to your computer and may be:
* four numbers separated by periods (IPv4);
* blocks of hexadecimal characters separated by colons (IPv6).
You can also optionally append a CIDR netmask (such as "/24").
If you don't know what to use here, consult your network administrator.
IP address:
Prompt: '?' for help> 9.152.162.103
9.152.162.103
!! ERROR: Malformed IP address
The IP address you provided is malformed. It should be in the form x.x.x.x
where each 'x' is no larger than 255 (an IPv4 address), or a sequence of blocks
of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (an IPv6 address). Please try again.
