- Automatic calculation of total hosts and usable hosts
- Binary representation showing IP, mask, and network in binary
- IP class detection (Class A, B, C, D, E) with visual indicators
- Private and public IP identification (RFC 1918 ranges)
- Wildcard mask calculation for Cisco ACLs
- Subnet splitting tool with VLSM support
- CIDR quick reference table (/8 to /32)
- Subnet mask and CIDR converter
- Network range validator
- Copy results to clipboard
- Real-time validation and error messages

How to use
- Enter IP address in dotted decimal notation like 192.168.1.0
- Specify subnet using CIDR slash notation or subnet mask
- Click Calculate to compute network information instantly
- View network address, broadcast, and usable IP range
- Check IP class and type (Public, Private, etc.)
- Examine binary representation to understand bit-level subnetting
- Use subnet splitting to divide network into smaller subnets
- Reference CIDR table for quick subnet mask lookup
- Copy results for documentation
- Validate subnet calculations
Tips & Best Practices
- Double-check URLs and hostnames before running network lookups.
- Results may vary based on DNS propagation and network conditions.
- Use this tool for debugging and development, not for production monitoring.
- Some checks may be blocked by firewalls or CORS policies.
- All lookups are performed client-side when possible for privacy.
FAQ
What is CIDR notation and how does it work?
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation uses a slash followed by the number of network bits. For example, /24 means the first 24 bits are the network portion, leaving 8 bits for hosts (256 total IPs). CIDR replaced classful addressing allowing flexible network sizing.
What are private IP addresses?
Private IPs (RFC 1918) are: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. These are for internal networks only and require NAT to access the Internet. They can be reused by different organizations without conflict.
Why are there 2 fewer usable hosts than total hosts?
Two addresses are reserved: network address (all host bits 0) and broadcast address (all host bits 1). For example, /24 has 256 total addresses but only 254 usable (network .0 and broadcast .255 are reserved).
