Description
I'm trying to create a IP Alias with a /16 subnet. This fails with the following error.
- Subnet is too large to expand into individual host IP addresses (141.207.0.0/16)
- The maximum number of entries in an alias is 5000
- 141.207.0.0/16 is not a valid host address, FQDN or alias.
I'm assuming this is in place for a reason. I'm hoping that pfSense is at a point where this limit can be expanded or if there is a workaround.

You can't use a host type alias for a masked network like that, use a Network type alias instead.

Thank you! Using Network(s) instead of Host(s) worked.
