Manually Inputting Hosts Using CIDR Notation

Archive Greenbone Community Edition

Hello,

I’ve been able to create targets while manually entering hosts with the CIDR notation /23 and /24 but whenever I try and create one with a /16 I get the error message “Error in host specification”.

I’ve also tried just entering a range like 10.1.0.0-10.1.255.255 and I receive the same error message.

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

The maximum netmask is /20. This equals 4096 addresses.
