Issue:
allow to set IPv6 netmask
It is currently not possible to specify an IPv6 netmask for a system interface in cobbler:

cobbler system edit --name=test1.linux-ipv6.be --interface=eth0  --ipv6-address=2001:123:456:789::8:2/112
Returns this error: invalid format for IPv6 IP address (2001:123:456:789::8:2/112)

Please add a parameter to set the IPv6 netmask.
