ipv4_is_match()

Matches two IPv4 strings. The two IPv4 strings are parsed and compared while accounting for the combined IP-prefix mask calculated from argument prefixes, and the optional PrefixMask argument.

ipv4_is_match("127.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1") == true
ipv4_is_match('192.168.1.1', '192.168.1.255') == false
ipv4_is_match('192.168.1.1/24', '192.168.1.255/24') == true
ipv4_is_match('192.168.1.1', '192.168.1.255', 24) == true

Syntax

ipv4_is_match(Expr1, Expr2[ ,PrefixMask])

Arguments

Name Type Required Description
Expr1 String A string expression representing an IPv4 address. IPv4 strings can be masked using IP-prefix notation.
Expr2 String A string expression representing an IPv4 address. IPv4 strings can be masked using IP-prefix notation.
PrefixMask Number or String An integer from 0 to 32 representing the number of most-significant bits that are taken into account.

IP-prefix notation

IP addresses can be defined with IP-prefix notation using a slash (/) character. The IP address to the LEFT of the slash (/) is the base IP address. The number (1 to 32) to the RIGHT of the slash (/) is the number of contiguous 1 bit in the netmask.

For example, 192.168.2.0/24 will have an associated net/subnetmask containing 24 contiguous bits or 255.255.255.0 in dotted decimal format.

Returns

  • true: If the long representation of the first IPv4 string argument is equal to the second IPv4 string argument.
  • false: Otherwise.
  • null: If conversion for one of the two IPv4 strings wasn't successful.

Example

IPv4 comparison equality - IP-prefix notation specified inside the IPv4 strings

datatable(ip1_string:string, ip2_string:string)
[
 '192.168.1.0',    '192.168.1.0',       // Equal IPs
 '192.168.1.1/24', '192.168.1.255',     // 24 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
 '192.168.1.1',    '192.168.1.255/24',  // 24 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
 '192.168.1.1/30', '192.168.1.255/24',  // 24 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
]
| extend result = ipv4_is_match(ip1_string, ip2_string)

Results

ip1_string ip2_string result
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.0 true
192.168.1.1/24 192.168.1.255 true
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255/24 true
192.168.1.1/30 192.168.1.255/24 true

Example

IPv4 comparison equality - IP-prefix notation specified inside the IPv4 strings and an additional argument of the ipv4_is_match() function

datatable(ip1_string:string, ip2_string:string, prefix:long)
[
 '192.168.1.1',    '192.168.1.0',   31, // 31 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
 '192.168.1.1/24', '192.168.1.255', 31, // 24 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
 '192.168.1.1',    '192.168.1.255', 24, // 24 bit IP-prefix is used for comparison
]
| extend result = ipv4_is_match(ip1_string, ip2_string, prefix)

Results

ip1_string ip2_string prefix result
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.0 31 true
192.168.1.1/24 192.168.1.255 31 true
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255 24 true
