Description Mark Xie 2009-07-14 13:12:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
The warning will not correct when adding virtual network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.6.1-6.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch virt-manager
2. Open "Host Details" window by "Edit --> Host Details", go to page of
"Virtual Networks"
3. Add a new network follow the wizard, specify "192.168.0.0/24" on page of "Choosing an IPv4 address space".
4. Change "192.168.0.0/24" to "192.168.0.0/23", then change to "192.168.0.0/22"......"192.168.0.0/13"
5, Change to "192.168.0.0/12"
6, Cancel the "Create new virtual network" window and add a new one, specify the "192.168.0.0/15" on page of "Choosing an IPv4 address space".
  
Actual results:
There is none warning at step 3 and step 4. 
There will be warning at step 5.
There will be warning at step 6.

Expected results:
But the largest CIDR block (subnet mask) is 192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)

Additional info:	
This condition also happens on 10.0.0.0/8 private network, the user can specify 10.0.0.0/7
Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2010-04-07 19:11:39 UTC 
The reporters analysis wasn't correct: 192.168.0.0/13 is a valid CIDR block.

168 as a bit mask looks like: 10101000

This means the bottom 3 bits aren't required to specify the network address (if assumed to be all 0). This means only 12 total bits are required to specify the network address (8 for 192, 4 for 168). That means any host mask from /32 to /13 is valid, but anything less is an error.

Closing as NOTABUG.
