Resource Orchestration Service:Fn::Cidr

Declaration

• JSON

  { 
    "Fn::Cidr": [ 
      "ipBlock", 
      "count", 
      "cidrBits" 
    ] 
  }

• YAML

  • Syntax for the full function name:

    Fn::Cidr:
      - ipBlock
      - count
      - cidrBits

  • Syntax for the short form:

    !Cidr [ipBlock, count, cidrBits]

Parameters

• ipBlock: the original CIDR block to be split into smaller CIDR blocks.

• count: the number of IPv4 CIDR blocks to generate. Valid values: 1 to 256.

• cidrBits: the number of subnet bits for the new CIDR block. For example, a value of "8" creates a CIDR block with a mask of "/24".

  Note

  The subnet bit is the inverse of the subnet mask. To calculate the required host bits for given subnet bits, subtract the subnet bits from 32 for IPv4.

Return value

An array of CIDR blocks.

Examples

• This example creates 6 CIDR blocks with a subnet mask "/27" from a CIDR block with a mask of "/24".

  YAML

  !Cidr 
    - "192.168.0.0/24"
    - 6
    - 5

  JSON

  { 
    "Fn::Cidr": [ 
      "192.168.0.0/24", 
      6, 
      5 
    ] 
  }

  Return value: ['192.168.0.0/27', '192.168.0.32/27', '192.168.0.64/27', '192.168.0.96/27', '192.168.0.128/27', '192.168.0.160/27']
