[NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Re: Does NFS-Ganesha support IPv6 wildcards (e.g., fd00:*::/64) in CLIENT entries?
We only support wildcards on hostname matches. Subnets are the way to handle wild cards on
IP addresses. We should now properly handle subnets on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Note
also that hostname wildcards are expensive as it forces Ganesha to do reverse DNS to
translate an IP address into a hostname.

Subject: [NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Does NFS-Ganesha support IPv6 wildcards (e.g.,
fd00:*::/64) in CLIENT entries?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to configure IPv6 client access in my NFS-Ganesha setup and was
wondering if wildcard or subnet-style entries are supported in the CLIENT
section of the export configuration.
for examle:
CLIENT {
Clients = fd00:*::;
Access_Type = RW;
}
Is this syntax valid for allowing all clients under the fd00 IPv6 range, similar to
how IPv4 wildcards like 192.168.*.0 work?
Or should IPv6 subnets only be specified using CIDR notation (e.g., fd00::/64)?
I verified it with vfs, but this was giving "Unexpected character" error.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
