Static Routes CIDR Picklist has gap between /16 and /8

[kamilion@…]

In trying to set up 1.5.7 on a Rackspace instance, static route configuration lacks picklist selections between a /16 and /8.

Initially, I tried to keep ebox from messing with it by setting the /etc/network/interfaces file chattr +i, but ebox-network did not appreciate not being able to write to it, so I've tried a different route.

The /etc/network/interfaces looks similar to this on a fresh rackspace instance:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 174.143.151.138
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 174.143.151.1
    dns-nameservers 72.3.128.240 72.3.128.241

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 10.177.34.130
    netmask 255.255.224.0

up route add -net 10.176.0.0 netmask 255.248.0.0 gw 10.177.32.1
down route del -net 10.176.0.0 netmask 255.248.0.0 gw 10.177.32.1
up route add -net 10.191.192.0 netmask 255.255.192.0 gw 10.177.32.1
down route del -net 10.191.192.0 netmask 255.255.192.0 gw 10.177.32.1

My routes in this case should be:

10.176.0.0/13   gw:10.177.32.1
10.191.192.0/18 gw:10.177.32.1

So, for now, I'm working around it like this: I need 10.176.0.0 - 10.183.255.255

so:

10.191.192.0/18 gw: 10.177.32.1
10.176.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.177.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.178.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.179.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.180.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.181.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.182.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.183.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1

This is icky, but it works. I'd much prefer to be able to select the /13.

Just saw  http://trac.ebox-platform.com/changeset/18374/ pop in the commits list.

Changelog Entry: Added missing CIDR values between /16 and /8

 http://lists.ebox-platform.com/pipermail/ebox-commits/2010-August/003379.html

Manually applied; all is well -- I have my /13 route.

Thanks!
