InetAddress

Object that contains all information about network address

Instance attributes

address: String: IP address

family: String

Internet address, one of:

inet
inet6
unspec

isAnyLocal: bool: TRUE if address is a wildcard address

isBroadcast: bool: TRUE if address is a broadcast address

isLinkLocal: bool: TRUE if address is a link local address

isLoopback: bool: TRUE if address is a loopback address

isMulticast: bool: TRUE if address is a multicast address

isSubnetBase: bool: TRUE if address is a subnet base address

isSubnetBroadcast: bool: TRUE if address is a subnet broadcast address

isValid: bool: TRUE if address valid

isValidUnicast: bool: TRUE if address valid unicast

mask: int: Address bit mask

subnet ⇒ InetAddress: Subnet base address

Instance methods

contains(address): bool

If subnet contains internet address. This object must hold the subnet base address (with mask), as in the example below.

Table 1. Parameters
address	InetAddress or String	Address to check for

Return

TRUE if contains, otherwise FALSE

r = InetAddress("192.168.56.0", 24).contains($node.ipAddress);
println(r); // will print "true", if primary IP address of node is in that subnet

equals(address): bool

If addresses are equal

Table 2. Parameters
address	InetAddress or String	Address to check to

Return

TRUE if addresses are equal, otherwise FALSE

inRange(addressStart, addressEnd): bool

If address is in range (inclusive). Always FALSE if address families differ.

r = $node.ipAddress.inRange(InetAddress("192.168.56.10"), InetAddress("192.168.56.20"));
println(r); // will print "true", if primary IP address of node is in range

Table 3. Parameters
addressStart	InetAddress or String	Start of the range address
addressEnd	InetAddress or String	End of the range address

Return

TRUE if adresse is in range, otherwise FALSE

sameSubnet(address): bool

If adresses are in the same subnet (using mask bits from this InetAddress)

Table 4. Parameters
address	InetAddress	IP address

Return

TRUE if adresses are in the same subnet, otherwise FALSE

Constructors

InetAddress()

Constructor for internet address. Creates an invalid address (family unspec)

Return

InetAddress object

InetAddress(address, mask)

Constructor for internet address

Table 5. Parameters
address	String	IP address as a string
mask	integer	mask in CIDR notation (optional parameter). Values out of range are limited to 0-32 for IPv4 and 0-128 for IPv6.

Return

InetAddress object
