Quick Reference
How to Use
Enter an IP address and CIDR prefix above to calculate subnet details including network address, broadcast address, subnet mask, and usable host range.
CIDR Notation
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) replaced traditional classful networking. The prefix length (e.g., /24) specifies how many bits identify the network, with the remaining bits identifying hosts.
Common Subnet Sizes
/24 (254 hosts) is the most common LAN size. /16 (65,534 hosts) suits large campuses. /30 (2 hosts) is used for point-to-point links. /32 represents a single host.
