https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186841 --- Comment #6 from Bryan Drewery <bdrewery@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Hiroki Sato from comment #4) > Sorry, I had missed this PR. I am thinking that making _IPEXPANDMAX be > user-configurable in rc.conf is better than removing it completely because > the number of resulting addresses can be too large. Do you have any > specific reason that we should remove this restriction at all? My reasoning is that it is a regression over how the _addrs mechanism has always worked. It would make sense to limit the ranges by the size of the CIDR mask, but a blanket limit is not right IMHO. If the user specifies X-N/MASK they expect all IPS between X and N to be added, at least for the size of the mask. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
