Subnetcalculator

Hoe u deze tool gebruikt

1. 1

   Type an IPv4 address with a prefix length into the box, for example 192.168.1.0/24. The field is pre-filled with that example to start.

2. 2

   Read the results table as you type. The network and broadcast addresses, dotted-decimal subnet mask, first and last usable host, usable host count, and total address count appear immediately.

3. 3

   Adjust the prefix length (the number after the slash) to widen or narrow the subnet and watch the host counts change.

4. 4

   If you see an Invalid CIDR or Invalid IP message, fix the input. The prefix must be 0 to 32 and each of the four octets must be 0 to 255.
