Module glob
Routines for IP glob-style address ranges.
Individual octets can be represented using the following shortcuts
:
-
*
- the asterisk octet (represents values 0 through 255)
-
'x-y'
- the hyphenated octet (represents values x
through y)
A few basic rules also apply :
-
x must always be greater than y, therefore :
-
x can only be 0 through 254
-
y can only be 1 through 255
-
only one hyphenated octet per IP glob is allowed
-
only asterisks are permitted after a hyphenated octet
Example IP globs :
'192.0.2.1' # a single address
'192.0.2.0-31' # 32 addresses
'192.0.2.*' # 256 addresses
'192.0.2-3.*' # 512 addresses
'192.0-1.*.*' # 131,072 addresses
'*.*.*.*' # the whole IPv4 address space
Aside
IP glob ranges are not directly equivalent to CIDR blocks. They
can represent address ranges that do not fall on strict bit mask
boundaries. They are suitable for use in configuration files, being
more obvious and readable than their CIDR counterparts, especially for
admins and end users with little or no networking knowledge or
experience.
All CIDR addresses can always be represented as IP globs but the
reverse is not always true.
