Before a JIRA improvement request is raised, I wanted to ask opinions and solicit information on this field in sipxconfig.
I was asked to look at a system that had remote user traversal issues. Within a short period of time going through the system, I found the following field in sipxconfig had been entered as such: System>Internet Calling>Intranet Subnets 192.168.1.1/24 Which is NOT a network address, and should have been entered as 192.168.1.0/24. Once this was corrected it resolved some of the overall configuration issues. My statement and question is this: Statement: I don't have a problem with this being a free-form field, because I can use a subnet calculator in my head or do binary math on a napkin to make sure this is entered correctly. Question: Should the code behind this page disallow the entry if the network/mask is an invalid one? Or should it be lefty alone? I don't have a problem either way, it's really a low level improvement request to me, but I wanted to know if this is a common mistake that could be prevented with more logic behind the curtain. Perhaps provide a subnet calculator internally as a guide for those who don't have access to one that is readily available? In either case )logic or app) it is more coding, and is a waste of time if it is not a common issue. Comments please?
