Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS The page on this subject "Create a connection with a fixed IP address" for 20.04 mentions in para 5. "Type in the IP Address and Gateway, as well as the appropriate Netmask." I wanted to do this so that I can provide a fixed IPv6 address for one of my computers. The link to the documentation page is https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip-address.html.en Netmask, which is not shown on the relevant part of the Ubuntu 20.04 Settings page, but there is a box headed "Prefix". Should this replace the reference to Netmask? ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965942 Title: Netmask should be replaced by Prefix?
