DZK 33GX250 not retaining IP configuration if gateway is set to 0.0.0.0

Describe the bug
When configuring the IPv4 settings on a DZK 33GX250 Polarsens camera via GigEVision/aravis,with a gateway IP of 0.0.0.0, the IP configuration is not retained.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Connect a DZK 33GX250, via PoE, to host machine. The camera appears with a link-local 169.254.xxx.xxx address.
  2. Issue `tcam-gigetool rescue --ip= --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 0.0.0.0
  3. Confirm tcam-gigetool list now shows the correct settings.
  4. Issue tcam-gigetool set --mode static <serial number> [1][2]
  5. Issue tcam-gigetool set --ip <same IP address> --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 0.0.0.0 <serial number>
  6. Power-cycle the camera by unplugging and re-plugging the PoE cable
  7. Issue tcam-gigetool list once more, and the camera has returned to the link-local 169.254.xxx.xxx address.

Expected behavior
IP configuration persists in EEPROM across reboots. Since we want to dump any packets without a route, i.e. those not destined for the host server, we usually just set the gateway to 0.0.0.0.

computer used (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Debian 12
  • Architecture/Platform: amd64 Desktop
  • Camera DZK 33GX250
  • tiscamera version
  •      Tcam:   1.1.1_uc5/de8b602_rev_39
     Aravis: unknown_version_external <- Editor's note: this is libaravis-dev 0.8.26-1 from Debian official repo
     Modules:        gst_aravis_arvu3v_v4l2_libusb_tools

Additional context
Issue does not occur if a nonzero gateway IP is set, so this is not necessarily a huge issue. However, it should be documented somewhere as I tried for ages to get the configuration to 'stick' without knowing this was the issue.
[1] If --mode is set with the rest of the IPv4 parameters, it errors with
Too many arguments as potential camera identifier. Arguments are: --mode static 46220267
[2] Issue occurs regardless of ordering the ip/netmask/gateway and mode.

Hello
I ran

tcam-gigetool set --ip 192.168.1.113 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 0.0.0.0 --mode static 34810033

and the ip address was changed from DHCP to static as specified. After power cycling the camera it has the wanted IP addresses. I wonder, why you got the argument error.
If the --mode static is not sent with the IP address parameters, then nothing will happen.

After recompiling and reinstalling everything, the "too many arguments" error is gone. But, the volatile 0.0.0.0 issue persists specifically for the 33GX250. Perhaps it's a firmware issue rather than a tiscamera issue?

Tried once more and it works now.
