Hi,

I'd like to ask a question and reference #857, which was closed for inactivity.

We have some large ipv4 prefixes (/16's). And the majority of IPs in these are DHCP.

I have less savvy users in here documenting their servers etc. They prefer to find a prefix by description and then drill down (IPAM > Prefixes > click > IP Addresses tab). They're getting frustrated with all the DHCP addresses they have to page through on that view.

Could there be a way to apply a filter option here to hide them? I can do it from the main "IP Addresses" view. But I have to filter by the prefix I want as well. server admins struggle with this because they don't know what the masks or network IDs are.

Any advice on how to make this easier?
