I've found and fixed this bug. The exception appeared when there is a /32 network in database.

Possibly - I do think I tried this before but always receive "Argument 'prefix_len' of value 33 is invalid."
Thoughts?

    Hi.

    I have a plug-in for that:

    Hope this would help.

    I wonder if someone has already or could assist me with creating
    a report to outline available blocks at their largest size and
    total. We have taken to racktables as a primary DCIM. This
    product is amazing, just need to get to that next step.

    The problem:
    We are using Racktables to manage 6 locations currently adding a
    7th in the next few months.
    We have 20+ allocations from ARIN as well as carrier allocations.
    We are currently tracing where each block is broadcast via tags.
    IPv4 Blocks are up to a /19 in size.
    We broadcast as small as a /24
    So you end up with a /19 for example with pieces broadcast from
    all locations. Therefore the graphic and availability reported on
    the main page does not actually apply.
    The graphic is not necessarily correct to begin with because if
    the block is allocated - it is not available - however unless you
    assign each IP then it shows available.
    Additionally drilling though a /16 of space is a real pain.

    The solution:
    A report or tab that shows only available blocks with tagging.
    When you create a network you are currently able to click the box
    to automatically allocate the network and broadcast - how about a
    tick-box to allocate the entire network.

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance and would be glad to
    donate for this functionality.

    Best,
    Chris.
