`cidrnetmask` converts an IPv4 address prefix given in CIDR notation into
|
|
|
|
a subnet mask address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
|
|
cidrnetmask(prefix)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`prefix` must be given in IPv4 CIDR notation, as defined in
|
|
|
|
[RFC 4632 section 3.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4632#section-3.1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result is a subnet address formatted in the conventional dotted-decimal
|
|
|
|
IPv4 address syntax, as expected by some software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CIDR notation is the only valid notation for IPv6 addresses, so `cidrnetmask`
|
|
|
|
produces an error if given an IPv6 address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> cidrnetmask("172.16.0.0/12")
|
|
|
|
255.240.0.0
|
|
|
|
```
