Re: [Phpip-support] Newbie - few quesitons about prefixes/CIDR

[<php...@li...>]

Hi Nick,

One thing to note we are in the works to rebuild the parser to allow you to
define the cidr block and then any prefix within the range of the cidr
block, this will remove the restriction of /24 bits. Hopefully this rebuild
will be done before March of next year.  It has been added to the sub item
tast under phpip project.

Thanks,

Michael

The answer to your question, the way phpIP was built was to not allow
sub-splits within each net block. The best reason I have is, phpIP was built
based on user groups to net blocks.  This means each sub-split has to be
defined and could be allocated to a defined group based on users.

Example:
10.20.30.0/23 is assigned to group "INA" 
Username "mpeter" is assigned to group "INA"

Only "INA" and "Administrator" can view and make changes to that defined net
block.

phpIP also breaks net blocks down to /24 bits to make management of IPs
easier to administrate.

Let me know if this answers your questions and requirements for phpIP.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

Just found phpip which seems to be almost exactly what the doctor ordered in
terms of a simple IP management tool.

My only gripe (which could be me using it wrong) is the system seems to
presume a "Prefix" is a /24 (class C). Why?

I ask for two reasons:

Lets say my ISP allocates me 150.10.10.0/24. I may want to use that
allocation on two separate networks. I'll still manage the entire /24 but
i'll actually want it dividing into two /25 "Prefixes".

Similarly if i allocate 10.10.0.0 /16 to internal hosts i may have a site
with 300 that i want to allocate a /23 within that /16 allocation.

If there is a way of doing this please let me know, as in every other way
(except for a maybe search all fields option) it's perfect. Thanks.

Nick
