The IP address must be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. May take either a string or IP address as an argument.\n\ncontainsCIDR: Returns true if a the CIDR contains the given CIDR. The CIDR must be an IPv4 or IPv6 subnet address with a mask. May take either a string or CIDR as an argument.\n\nip: Returns the IP address representation of the CIDR.\n\nmasked: Returns the CIDR representation of the network address with a masked prefix. This can be used to return the canonical form of the CIDR network.\n\nprefixLength: Returns the prefix length of the CIDR in bits. This is the number of bits in the mask.\n\nExamples of CEL expressions using CIDR library functions CEL Expression Purpose cidr('192.168.0.0/24').containsIP(ip('192.168.0.1')) Checks if a CIDR contains a given IP address (IP object). cidr('192.168.0.0/24').containsIP(ip('192.168.1.1')) Checks if a CIDR contains a given IP address (IP object). cidr('192.168.0.0/24').containsIP('192.168.0.1') Checks if a CIDR contains a given IP address (string). cidr('192.168.0.0/24').containsIP('192.168.1.1') Checks if a CIDR contains a given IP address (string). cidr('192.168.0.0/16').containsCIDR(cidr('192.168.10.0/24')) Checks if a CIDR contains another given CIDR (CIDR object). cidr('192.168.1.0/24').containsCIDR(cidr('192.168.2.0/24')) Checks if a CIDR contains another given CIDR (CIDR object). cidr('192.168.0.0/16').containsCIDR('192.168.10.0/24') Checks if a CIDR contains another given CIDR (string). cidr('192.168.1.0/24').containsCIDR('192.168.2.0/24') Checks if a CIDR contains another given CIDR (string). cidr('192.168.0.1/24').ip() Returns the IP address part of a CIDR. cidr('192.168.0.1/24').ip().family() Returns the family of the IP address part of a CIDR. cidr('::1/128').ip() Returns the IP address part of an IPv6 CIDR. cidr('::1/128').ip().family() Returns the family of the IP address part of an IPv6 CIDR. cidr('192.168.0.0/24').masked() Returns the canonical form of a CIDR network. cidr('192.168.0.1/24').masked() Returns the canonical form of a CIDR network, masking non-prefix bits. cidr('192.168.0.0/24') == cidr('192.168.0.0/24').masked() Compares a CIDR to its canonical form (already canonical). cidr('192.168.0.1/24') == cidr('192.168.0.1/24').masked() Compares a CIDR to its canonical form (not canonical). …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
