Synopsis

• This filter is designed to return the input value if a query is True, and False if a query is False
• This way it can be easily used in chained filters
• For more details on how to use this plugin, please refer to <docsite/rst/filters_ipaddr.rst>_

Requirements

The following Python packages are needed on the host that executes this module:

• netaddr>=0.10.1

Parameters

Parameter	Defaults / Choices	Comments
alias str		type of filter. example ipaddr, ipv4, ipv6, ipwrap
query str		You can provide a single argument to each ipaddr() filter. The filter will then treat it as a query and return values modified by that query. Types of queries include: 1. query by name: ansible.utils.ipaddr('address'), ansible.utils.ipv4('network'); 2. query by CIDR range: ansible.utils.ipaddr('192.168.0.0/24'), ansible.utils.ipv6('2001:db8::/32'); 3. query by index number: ansible.utils.ipaddr('1'), ansible.utils.ipaddr('-1');
value raw required		list of subnets or individual address or any other values input for ipaddr plugin
version int		Ip version 4 or 6

    Fetch only host IP addresses with their correct CIDR prefixes (as is common with IPv6 addressing), you can use
    the ipaddr('host') filter.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value|ansible.utils.ipaddr('host') }}"

- name: check if IP addresses or network ranges are accessible on a public Internet and return it.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value|ansible.utils.ipaddr('public') }}"

- name: check if IP addresses or network ranges are accessible on a private Internet and return it.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value|ansible.utils.ipaddr('private') }}"

- name: check which values are values are specifically network ranges and return it.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value|ansible.utils.ipaddr('net') }}"

- name: check how many IP addresses can be in a certain range.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value| ansible.utils.ipaddr('net') | ansible.utils.ipaddr('size') }}"

- name: By specifying a network range as a query, you can check if a given value is in that range.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value|ansible.utils.ipaddr('192.0.0.0/8') }}"

# First IP address (network address)
- name: |
    If you specify a positive or negative integer as a query, ipaddr() will treat this as an index and will return
    the specific IP address from a network range, in the "host/prefix" format.
  debug:
    msg: "{{ value| ansible.utils.ipaddr('net') | ansible.utils.ipaddr('0') }}"

# Second IP address (usually the gateway host)
- debug:
    msg: "{{ value| ansible.utils.ipaddr('net') | ansible.utils.ipaddr('1') }}"

# Last IP address (the broadcast address in IPv4 networks)
- debug:
    msg: "{{ value| ansible.utils.ipaddr('net') | ansible.utils.ipaddr('-1') }}"
