IP Blocking via API Issue

[Jon]

I'm using the new IP blocking functionality added in V201402 (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/CampaignCriterionService.IpBlock), but having an issue trying to block anything but a single IP. That link shows that we should be able to block Class C network using a mask, but I get an invalid IP address method when I try to block 70.210.9.1/24:

Plain IPs (70.210.9.1) and using a /32 (70.210.9.1/32) both work fine, which implies (along with the docs) that I should be using the format above. I also tried with 70.210.9.* as the UI uses but get the same error there.

Ideas?

Hi,

I was also able to reproduce this, despite the documentation saying that these masks should be accepted. I'm going to file a bug for this so we can investigate further. I will update this thread when I hear more information.

Any updates on that matter?

Hello Yuval,

Did you try specifying network as A.B.C.0/24, instead of A.B.C.1/24 as in the error on this thread?
