Description of problem: Text UI screen for configuration of network devices doesn't provide an option to enter IPv6 netmask: ================================================================================ Device configuration 1) IPv4 address or "dhcp" for DHCP dhcp 2) IPv4 netmask 3) IPv4 gateway 4) IPv6 address or "auto" for automatic, "dhcp" for DHCP, "ignore" to turn off 2620:52:0:1068:0:ff:fe00:7 5) IPv6 default gateway 2620:52:0:1068::2 6) Nameservers (comma separated) 7) [x] Connect automatically after reboot 8) [ ] Apply configuration in installer Configuring device ens3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-21.48.22.50-1.el7 (also anaconda-19.31.123-1.el7, RHEL-7.1 GA) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start the installation in text mode 2. proceed to the network device configuration screen 3. try to enter a netmask for IPv6 Actual results: no option for IPv6 netmask Expected results: IPv6 netmask option is present Additional info: It is possible to enter IPv6 "address" in form address/netmask, but this is not mentioned anywhere.
I think the only thing that needs to happen here is to clarify the input expected when it prompts for the IPv6 address.
