[Linux-HA] IPaddr: netmask or cidr_netmask?

[Keisuke MORI]

Hi,

IPaddr RA has two kinds of parameter to specify the netmask:
"netmask" and "cidr_netmask".

Which one is "officially supported" and recommended to use?


>From the mail archive below, I thought that cidr_netmask was wrong,
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/dev/36035#36035

but on the other hand, the GUI can handle only cidr_netmask
(because the IPaddr meta-data contains only cidr_netmask).

As long as I tried both works the same; both can take either
CIDR form (e.g. 24) or the dot-notation (255.255.255.0),
but I want to always use the official one.

Thanks,
