Hi @strap16,

First param should also be CIDR, so use '172.16.1.0/24'. If you're looking for a /30 network, then 2nd param is as you wrote, '30'. Should work.

@jauling I dont think there is problem with code, but the parameter that i am passing is having issues. "Can not find requested number of networks" -- I dont know what does it mean.

is possible to give me an share example. I am trying to get the next available /30 network in /24 network container. Is it possible to do it ?.

I never said there was a problem with the code. I told you the first parameter should be CIDR! You are not passing correct parameters!

Do this, this will work:

ip = iba_api.get_next_available_network('172.16.1.0/24','30')
print ip
