Getting wrong address from ipaddress.IPv4Network in Python

Question

I'm using ipaddress library to obtain IP address with subnet mask, but it returns wrong address after putting all data. What's the problem? When I used it earlier it was working fine.

import ipaddress
myip=ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.13.192.123/3',strict=False)

The output is 192.0.0.0/3 instead of 192.13.192.123/3

You are using IPv4Network and not ip_address.

myip = ipaddress.ip_address('192.13.192.123') will return 192.13.192.123

myip = ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.13.192.123/24', strict=False) will return 192.13.192.0/24 because the netmask is 255.255.255.0

myip = ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.13.192.123/3', strict=False) will return 192.0.0.0/24 because the netmask is 224.0.0.0

is there a method that will return 'ip/subnet mask' ? – olanow20 Apr 11 '19 at 06:25

Use **ipaddress.IPv4Interface** – Shinva Apr 11 '19 at 06:32
