Template:IPaddr

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Introduction

Template {{IPaddr}} is used to make an IP address stand out in the text, to improve readability. An IP address is displayed in italic type, using lower case letters for IPv6 addresses.

Arguments

The first parameter is the IP address to be displayed. The second parameter is optional and indicates the number of bits in the network address in CIDR notation. If given, it is appended to the first with a slash (/) as a separator. When the option netmask=dotted is set, the second argument (if present) is translated to a dotted decimal netmask.

Examples

{{IPaddr|198.51.100.227}} yields: 198.51.100.227.

{{IPaddr|203.0.113.109/29}} adds the network mask as is: 203.0.113.109/29, but

{{IPaddr|203.0.113.109|29}} yields: 203.0.113.109/29 which adds some non-breaking space around the slash ('/') separator, to improve readability.

{{IPaddr||29}} yields just the netmask: /29.

{{IPaddr|203.0.113.109|29|netmask=dotted}} yields: 203.0.113.109/255.255.255.248, which might sometimes be useful.

{{IPaddr||18|netmask=dotted}} yields just the netmask in dotted decimal notation: 255.255.192.0 (without the slash).

{{IPaddr|2001:db8:27DF:34::|64}} yields: 2001:db8:27df:34::/64 (all lower case) as these are preferred in IPv6 addresses.

Template data

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
IP address	1	The IP address to display, either IPv4 or IPv6. An IP address is displayed in italics, using lower case letters for IPv6 addresses. Example 198.51.100.52 or 2001:db8:3fb6:3::12f	String	suggested
Netmask bits	2	Number of bits in the netmask, displayed with a leading slash in CIDR notation. Example 24	Number	optional
netmask style	netmask	When set to 'dotted' the netmask is displayed in dotted-decimal, rather than CIDR notation. If there is no IP address specified, the slash is not displayed. Example dotted	String	optional
