IP Calculator: Ipcalc

The document describes an IP calculator tool called ipcalc that takes an IP address and netmask as input and calculates the network, broadcast, wildcard mask, and host range. It presents the results in both binary and dotted decimal formats. The tool is intended as an educational tool for understanding subnetting and IP addressing schemes.

IP Calculator

ipcalc takes an IP address and netmask and calculates the


resulting broadcast, network, Cisco wildcard mask, and host
range. By giving a second netmask, you can design subnets
and supernets. It is also intended to be a teaching tool and
presents the subnetting results as easy-to-understand binary
values.

Enter your netmask(s) in CIDR notation (/25) or dotted


decimals (255.255.255.0). Inverse netmasks are recognized. If
you omit the netmask ipcalc uses the default netmask for the
class of your network.

Look at the space between the bits of the addresses: The bits
before it are the network part of the address, the bits after it are
the host part. You can see two simple facts: In a network
address all host bits are zero, in a broadcast address they are
all set.

The class of your network is determined by its first bits.

If your network is a private internet according to RFC 1918


this is remarked. When displaying subnets the new bits in the
network part of the netmask are marked in a different color

The wildcard is the inverse netmask as used for access control


lists in Cisco routers.

Do you want to split your network into subnets? Enter the


address and netmask of your original network and play with
the second netmask until the result matches your needs.

You can have all this fun at your shell prompt. Originally
ipcalc was not intended for creating HTML and still works
happily in /usr/local/bin/ :-)
