[SOLVED] cidr: invalid format - Invalid prefix, even though its valid

[tesreal]

Hello,

I was trying to add alias for my below mentioned WAN IPs for use in firewall rules:

1xx.2xx.1xx.98/27

(actual ip masked for security reasons)

but I get error as below

Parameter verification failed. (400)

cidr: invalid format - Invalid prefix 11111111111100111111111001100010/27

(randomly changed bits for security reasons)

I could clearly verify that the CIDR is correct and I am able to specify the same range on my physical firewall appliance without errors.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

where do you enter this? maybe you can provide a screenshot.

it is invalid though (.98 would be an address within the /27 network) - some parsers are more lenient and automatically map this for you; the correct network is probably xx.xx.xx.96/27

That was indeed the issue. Thanks @fabian

P.S. Is there a way to mark a reply as answer?
