For historical reasons, the <code class="literal">inet_ops</code> operator class is
not the default class for types <code class="type">inet</code> and <code class="type">cidr</code>.
To use it, mention the class name in <code class="command">CREATE INDEX</code>,
for example
</p><pre class="programlisting">
CREATE INDEX ON my_table USING GIST (my_inet_column inet_ops);
