Subnet Calculator

Calculate network details such as host range, broadcast address, and netmask from valid IPv4/CIDR.

Understanding Subnetting

Subnetting allows you to divide a network into smaller, more efficient subnetworks. This helps in reducing network traffic, improving security, and making IP management easier.

Glossary

  • CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing): A notation using a slash followed by the number of bits in the network mask (e.g., /24).
  • Valid Range: The span of IP addresses that can be assigned to devices within a specific subnet.
  • Broadcast Address: The last address in a subnet, used to communicate with all devices on that network.
  • Netmask: A 32-bit number distinguishing the network address from the host address.
