Hi, The request was for a combined type that contains both an ip address *and* a prefix length in one value. Hence the name "ip-address-and-prefix-length" :)
I know that this type is convenient, esp. if you use it for manual input, but I wonder if it really is good practice to squeeze two values into one. /martin "Acee Lindem (acee)" <a...@cisco.com> wrote: > Ok, now I'm confused.
