divide by 64 error

[marc williams]

I cant do:


ip = IPAddress.parse "1.1.1.0/24"

subnets = ip / 64
puts subnets


spits out an error message:


gem/ruby/1.8/gems/ipaddress-0.8.0/lib/ipaddress/ipv4.rb:684:in
`subnet': New prefix must be between 24 and 32 (ArgumentError)
from /Users/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/ipaddress-0.8.0/lib/ipaddress/ipv4.rb:
622:in `/'
from ./ip.rb:7

I am trying to divide a /24 address space into /30's

Hello Marc,
thanks for pointing out this issue. I will investigate it further.
Would you care to open an issue on Github on this one?

In the meantime you can use IPv4#subnet which works fine

subnets = ip.subnet(30)
