Hi folks

We have a filter working up till v2.7

`  
“{{ v\_overlay\_network | ipaddr(‘net’) | ipaddr(‘191’) | ipaddr(‘address’) if v\_overlay\_network is defined and v\_overlay\_network | ipaddr else 198.19.0.191 }}”

`

In this case **v\_overlay\_network** is defined (198.19.0.0/16)  
Now alway produces **False** in v2.8

I think I’ve isolated it to the ipaddr integer host query, where positive integers return nothing, but negative integers work as expected

`

TASK [DEBUG print positive v\_overlay\_network msg={{ v\_overlay\_network | ipaddr(‘net’) | ipaddr(‘254’) }}] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [localhost] =\> {  
“msg”: “”  
}

TASK [DEBUG print negative v\_overlay\_network msg={{ v\_overlay\_network | ipaddr(‘net’) | ipaddr(‘-64’) }}] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [localhost] =\> {  
“msg”: “198.19.255.192/16”  
}

`

Not sure if I missed something in the Porting Guide or if I have hit a bug?
