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 198.51.100.10 /31
IP class C
Network bits 31
Host bits 1
Network address 198.51.100.10
Broadcast address 198.51.100.11
Subnet mask 255.255.255.254
Wildcard mask 0.0.0.1
Total addresses 2
Usable hosts 2
First usable host 198.51.100.10
Last usable host 198.51.100.11

What this means

The IPv4 address 198.51.100.10 belongs to the 198.51.100.10/31 network, and the subnet broadcast boundary is 198.51.100.11.

This subnet provides 2 total addresses and 2 usable host addresses, with a host range from 198.51.100.10 to 198.51.100.11.

The subnet mask is 255.255.255.254, the wildcard mask is 0.0.0.1, and the address falls into Class C.

Special case: /31 networks are typically used on point-to-point links, where both addresses can be treated as usable endpoints.

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.
