Input

Enter an IPv4 address and a CIDR prefix to calculate subnet boundaries, mask values, and usable host range.

Enter only the numeric prefix, for example 24 for /24.

Result

Network boundaries, mask values, host counts, and binary subnet breakdown.

Input 192.168.1.10 /24
IP class C
Network bits 24
Host bits 8
Network address 192.168.1.0
Broadcast address 192.168.1.255
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Wildcard mask 0.0.0.255
Total addresses 256
Usable hosts 254
First usable host 192.168.1.1
Last usable host 192.168.1.254

What this means

The IPv4 address 192.168.1.10 belongs to the 192.168.1.0/24 network, and the subnet broadcast boundary is 192.168.1.255.

This subnet provides 256 total addresses and 254 usable host addresses, with a host range from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.

The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the wildcard mask is 0.0.0.255, and the address falls into Class C.

CIDR quick notes

Useful reminders for subnetting and host calculations.

/24 means 24 network bits and 8 host bits.

Subnet mask shows the network boundary, while wildcard mask is its inverse.

/31 is commonly used for point-to-point links, while /32 represents a single-host route.
