For example, I feel the following should work:
ler=# \d ler_test
Table "ler_test"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+------+----------
net | cidr |
host | inet |
ler=# select * from ler_test;
net | host
---------------+------------------
207.158.72/24 | 207.158.72.11/24
(1 row)
ler=# select host(net::inet) from ler_test;
