Yeah, you are absolutely correct.

I think I lost my words there :)

ge 24 would match subnet lengths from 24 to 32 which is the tru class C
range.

While le 32 would match any supernetted class C address as well.

Again, I think I intended to say that but missed my words. Happens to me all
the time :(

Thanks for the correction though.
