Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Ipv6Address | string |
✔️ | An expression representing an IPv6 address. |
Ipv6Range | string |
✔️ | An expression representing an IPv6 range using IP-prefix notation. |
IP-prefix notation
IP-prefix notation (also known as CIDR notation) is a concise way of representing an IP address and its associated network mask. The format is <base IP>/<prefix length>
, where the prefix length is the number of leading 1 bits in the netmask. The prefix length determines the range of IP addresses that belong to the network.
For IPv4, the prefix length is a number between 0 and 32. So the notation 192.168.2.0/24 represents the IP address 192.168.2.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. This netmask has 24 leading 1 bits, or a prefix length of 24.
For IPv6, the prefix length is a number between 0 and 128. So the notation fe80::85d:e82c:9446:7994/120 represents the IP address fe80::85d:e82c:9446:7994 with a netmask of ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ff00. This netmask has 120 leading 1 bits, or a prefix length of 120.
Returns
true
: If the long representation of the first IPv6 string argument is in range of the second IPv6 string argument.false
: Otherwise.null
: If conversion for one of the two IPv6 strings wasn't successful.
Example
datatable(ip_address:string, ip_range:string)
[
'a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd', 'a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:0000/112',
'a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd', 'a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd',
'a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd', '0:0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:ac/60',
]
| extend result = ipv6_is_in_range(ip_address, ip_range)
Output
ip_address | ip_range | result |
---|---|---|
a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd | a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:0000/112 | True |
a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd | a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd | True |
a5e:f127:8a9d:146d:e102:b5d3:c755:abcd | 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:ac/60 | False |
