Description

Firewall Alias does not allow an ipv6 network alias in the format described by RFC4291 par 2.2.2 in the format x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d where the 'd's are the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the address (standard IPv4 representation).

Example:
If I was using NAT64 I would like to create an alias for network 64:ff9b::10.11.12.0/120 to correspond to 10.11.12.0/24
The Error I get is:

The following input errors were detected:

64:ff9b::10.11.12.0/120 is not a valid subnet.

I can add individual hosts (64:ff9b::10.11.12.13) as an alias but not the network alias.
