Re: [Serusers] Src_ip matching

I figured it out. SER apparently uses strict sub netting. A /27 is 32 IP's and 80 is not evenly divisible by 32. I changed it to /28 which is 16 IP's and since 80/16 = 5 with no remainder it now works. It would be nice if SER didn't have that limitation but its not that big of a deal because I can just put an || in the if statement.

For src_ip == ip/mask, ser does (src_ip & mask) == ip. You would like it to do: (src_ip & mask) == (ip & mask) ? The change would be trivial, the only question is if it brings any unexpected matches. In your case x.x.x.80/27 would be equivalent to x.x.x.64/27.
