IPV4 NETWORK PLANNING

Turn an address into a complete subnet plan.

Enter an IPv4 address and CIDR prefix. See the network boundary, host range and capacity without sending the address anywhere.

You may also enter CIDR notation, such as 10.20.30.40/24.

READ THE PREFIX

What the CIDR number controls

01

Network boundary

The prefix identifies how many leading bits describe the network. A larger prefix creates a smaller subnet.

02

Host capacity

The remaining bits identify addresses inside the subnet. Traditional subnets reserve the network and broadcast addresses.

03

Routing summary

CIDR lets routers describe an entire address range with one concise route, such as 192.168.10.0/24.

04

Planning margin

Choose a subnet with enough usable addresses for current devices and realistic growth, without making the broadcast domain unnecessarily large.

Calculated on this device

The address and prefix stay in your browser. This application does not transmit or store subnet calculations.

Private network details can still be operationally sensitive. Share exported results only with authorized people.
