In my network every subnets default gateway is X.X.X.1.  That router

Since there is no official "default gateway" fact yet, what I want to be
able to do in my manifest is take the $ipaddress fact and turn it into the
gateway for that subnet.

For example...
IP = 10.1.1.12
GW = 10.1.1.1

I'm using the puppetlabs-ntp module, so I should be able to do something
like this in my classes...I think...  I just need to know how to get the .1
address in there...

class mycustomclass:ntp {
class { "ntp":
servers => [ DOT_ONE_ADDRESS_FOR_HOSTS_IP_GOES_HERE ],
autoupdate => false,
}
}

If this was raw ruby I could do some string magic to turn the last value to
1.  I don't know how to do that with the Puppet DSL though.

Thanks,
Matt


Oh, look. I get to be useful! I've done something similar for my computer
cluster class. I base the ip of the eth4 interface off the ip of eth0,
changing one octet from 39 to 38. Here's the line:

    $eth4ip = regsubst($::ipaddress_eth0, '\.39\.', '.38.')

For your purpose, you'd need to do something like this:

    $ntpip =  regsubst($::ipaddress, '[0-9]+$', '1')
