IP range in Autodiscovery.

[kanour]

IP range type: 192.168.12.1-254 is not good idea.

IP range type should be complete start and end ip: 192.168.12.1-192.168.12.254

Reason is subneting networks.

I do not see a difference between 192.168.12.1-254 and 192.168.12.1-192.168.12.254. Am I the only one?

[kanour]

So how would you do:
172.18.2.1-172.18.5.254

[Alexei]

172.18.2.1-255,172.18.3.1-255,172.18.4.1-255,172.18.5.1-254

It is already supported.

Ups, that is strange :-).

It would be much easier to have full IPs, plus it would be much scalable and more correct.

eg. OpenNMS:
begin="172.17.1.1" end="172.17.1.254" (they also dont use shotcut)

If you then have subnet: 172.19.11.1 - 172.19.120.254 (you will type long row).
Also some subnets can go through 255 and then your notation would not be clear.

But it is up to you. It was only suggestion.

Let's leave it is it is for now. I believe it is more error proof. Anyway the schema can be easily extended to support your schema as well.
