Description Ira Cooper 2014-06-09 18:15:56 UTC
Description of problem:

I need to specify a /29 subnet for testing, virt-manager won't let me :(.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.0.1

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit -> Connection Details -> Virtual Networks
2. Try to create a new network with a /29 subnet mask.

Actual results:

virt-manager will tell you that's not allowed. :(

Expected results:

virt-manager will tell you that it works!

Additional info:

Yes, I hit a real use-case for a /29.  When you are out doing interop testing, a /29 is quite useful when the network managers don't hand out clean subnets.
