Hi Guys,

I see the IPAddresses.v1_0_6.json schema has defined the property: "PrefixLength" of "IPv6StaticAddress" or "IPv6Address" object:

        "PrefixLength": {
            "maximum": 128,
            "minimum": 1,
            "type": "number"
        }

Per I understand about IPv6 address, the prefix length has range [0, 128]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Special_addresses

So can someone teach me why DMTF just allows the range [1, 128]?

Thanks,

Actually, I think you're teaching us...

That appears to be an error, as the 0 and 128 values do have valid use cases. We've entered an issue against the schema and it will be corrected (to "0" minimum) in the next release.

Thanks for finding that and reporting it to us!

Jeff
