list,
i am wondering what the right way is to introduce new OIDs, or request that new OIDs be introduced, to existing schemas. the ipNetwork class could benefit with a couple new optional attributes.
The ipNetwork class is part of RFC2307, I suggest you write a new Internet Draft defining the attributes you propose and send it to the ldapext mailing list for discussion.

the ipNetworkVLAN (only a suggested name) can be used to indicate the VLAN associated with an ipNetworkNumber. due to the increasing use of VLANs, the datapoint being represented in LDAP makes sense to me.
another seemingly logical OID would be ipNetCIDR (suggestion only) which would be similar to the ipNetmaskNumber, but would be the short form notation.
thank you,
