IPv4 CIDR Calculator
Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.
Description
Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.
IPv4 CIDR Calculator: Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.
When to use IPv4 CIDR
Use this network utility to parse, normalize, convert, or derive IPv4, IPv6, subnet, reverse-DNS, or MAC addressing information under a stated prefix convention.
- Address
- Any address inside the network.
- Prefix
- Prefix length in bits.
How IPv4 CIDR works
Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Network
- Lowest address in the network.
- Broadcast
- Highest address in the network.
- First host
- First assignable host.
- Last host
- Last assignable host.
- Total hosts
- Assignable host count.
Limitations and assumptions
- Syntax and arithmetic validity do not establish reachability, ownership, routing, DNS, privacy, or authorization. IPv4 special-use ranges, IPv6 scopes and compression, prefix boundaries, mapped forms, and host-count conventions require explicit handling.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Validate against current IANA registries and the target platform, test boundary prefixes, and use live network tools only with appropriate authorization.
