Comparing a parameter in a function for output

[hum_mike]

Here is my issue:

I have a function that I pass a parameter too which is actually an IP address. I need to inside the function, compare that parameter to output the portgroup. Here is my function: No matter what parameter I pass, I keep getting this as the output "No portgroup exist"

Function Portgroup{

param($Prod_IP)

If ($Prod_IP -like "10.10.")

{

$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.10.0.0"

}

Elseif ($Prod_IP -like "10.11.")

{

$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.11.0.0"

}

Elseif ($Prod_IP -clike "10.12.")

{

$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.12.0.0"

}

Else

{

$Portgroup = "No portgroup exist"

}

$Portgroup

}

If ($Prod_IP -like "10.10.*")

Or

If ($Prod_IP.StartsWith("10.10."))

With the -like operator you have to add an asterisk as the wildcard.

In the position of the asterisks can be any character any number of times.

Something like this

function Portgroup{
param($Prod_IP)

if ($Prod_IP -like "10.10.*")
{
$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.10.0.0"
}
elseif ($Prod_IP -like "10.11.*")
{
$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.11.0.0"
}
elseif ($Prod_IP -clike "10.12.*")
{
$Portgroup = "portgroup 10.12.0.0"
}
else
{
$Portgroup = "No portgroup exist"
}
$Portgroup
} 

PS: why do you use the -clike operator instead of -like ?
