The 'ip addr add' command used to use the following syntax:
# ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 brd 10.0.0.255 dev <eth>
However, attempts to use that same command syntax with the current iproute2 tip gives the following error:
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "20.0.0.2/24"
This seems like a bug. The commit that introduces the issue is f3a2ddc124e09d3990b836e322ed39c76c35546e by Vadim Kochan. Reverting this commit fixes the problem.
Is this change deliberate? It would break a lot of scripts if so.
Thanks,
- Greg

looked like an unintended change. This was reported a few days back and
I hit this too in another context and a patch
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/451210/ is in the queue.
