Doesn’t seem to be working when I implement it in my code:

- name: If the IP address is destined for the .1 subnet…  
when: set\_machinename | ipaddr(‘[192.168.1.0/](http://192.168.1.0/32)24’)

It still skips over this range even if I specify set\_machinename to ‘192.168.1.4’.

In your earlier mail you wrote /24 now you are using /32?

192.168.1.4 is not part of 192.168.1.0/32, only 192.168.1.0 is that.

Yea, no I corrected that mistake. I meant to say /24, not /32. Still gets bypassed when I run the ansible script.
