ifconfig(8) understands CIDR notation just fine, although it's not
usual to configure an interface using the '.0' /network/ address. Look
on it as a third alternate way of specifying the netmask, so that the
following three examples are equivalent:
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74/29
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 0xfffffff8
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 255.255.255.248
Those correspond to the slightly contrived example of the /29 network
starting with network address 192.168.123.72 and running up to the
broadcast address 192.168.123.79
Note: you can give a broadcast address on the ifconfig command line,
but usually it's not necessary as a standard value will be calculated
from any ip number forming part of that network and from the netmask.
However you can't in general use ip address + broadcast to do the
converse, as there isn't necessarily a unique solution.
Cheers,
Matthew
