[SOLVED] IP Address Input from Jenkins to Variable powershell

IP Address Input from Jenkins to Variable powershell

I Have Jenkins job that asks for IP Address

$ip = $env:Lan_ip

what the user enter goes to $ip

now $ip is 192.168.10.10 for Example

now I'm trying to insert this variable to FortiGate SSH

Invoke-SshCommand $Firewall -command ‘config system interface 
edit port1
set ip $ip 255.255.255.0
end’

but he can not read the $ip I need to make it like INT separate with .

im getting this Error

node_check_object fail! for ip $ip

how can i convert the sting im getting from the user when he enter the ip address in for example --> 192.168.10.10 to usable variable in the code

Solution

From what I gather from here is that you need to give the subnet mask as a CIDR-formatted subnet mask like 255.255.255.0/24

To get that CIDR value off a subnet IP address, you can use this function:

function Get-SubnetMaskLength ([string]$SubnetMask) {
    # $cidr = Get-SubnetMaskLength "255.255.240.0" --> 20
    $result = 0
    [IPAddress]$ip = $SubnetMask
    foreach ($octet in $ip.GetAddressBytes()) {
        while ($octet) {
            $octet = ($octet -shl 1) -band [byte]::MaxValue
            $result++
        }
    }
    $result
}

$subNet = '255.255.255.0'
$cidr = Get-SubnetMaskLength $subNet          # --> 24
$subNetAndCidr = '{0}/{1}' -f $subNet, $cidr  # --> 255.255.255.0/24

^{P.S. Always use straight quotes instead of the curly thingies ‘ and ’ in code!}
