Originally created by @decoupca on GitHub (Jun 5, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Remove current validation that prevents assigning non-/127 or non-/128 address to an interface.

Use case

IPv6 does not use network IDs or broadcast addresses and therefore, unlike IPv4, this check prevents valid uses of IPv6 addresses. Furthermore, current validation logic is buggy, as /127s are erroneously identified as broadcast addresses.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

Opened to separately address the IPv6 issue raised in #12687. I have a PR ready if this is approved.

Per comments in #12687 which describes correct validation for IPv6 validation, closing this and re-opening as a bug report.
