The Telenegar Subnet Calculator Tool is a utility designed to compute network details, usable IP address ranges, broadcast addresses, wildcard masks, and subnet splits for any IPv4 Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block or dotted-decimal subnet mask.
It helps network engineers, systems administrators, and cloud architects design IP addressing schemes, plan subnet allocations, and configure routing tables accurately.
The Subnet Calculator accepts standard IPv4 addresses alongside either CIDR prefix notations or dotted-decimal subnet masks:
| Parameter | Description | Input Format / Examples |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | The host IP address or network boundary to calculate. | e.g., 192.168.1.10, 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.1 |
| CIDR Prefix / Subnet Mask | The network mask specified as a bit-length prefix or dotted-decimal format. | e.g., CIDR: 24 (or /24), Dotted Mask: 255.255.255.0 |
Upon executing a calculation, the tool parses the input to generate the following network parameters:
# **Enter IP Address:** Type an IPv4 address into the left input box (e.g., ''192.168.1.10''). # **Specify Subnet Mask or CIDR Prefix:** Enter a numeric CIDR prefix (e.g., ''24'') or a dotted-decimal mask (e.g., ''255.255.255.0'') into the right input box. # **Execute Calculation:** Click the blue **Calculate** button to compute network boundaries, usable host ranges, and binary representations.
| CIDR Prefix | Dotted Subnet Mask | Total Addresses | Usable Hosts | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `/32` | `255.255.255.255` | 1 | 1 (Host) | Single host / Loopback interface |
| `/30` | `255.255.255.252` | 4 | 2 | Point-to-point router links |
| `/29` | `255.255.255.248` | 8 | 6 | Small public IP blocks / Firewall DMZs |
| `/28` | `255.255.255.240` | 16 | 14 | Small subnets / Server racks |
| `/27` | `255.255.255.224` | 32 | 30 | Medium department subnets |
| `/26` | `255.255.255.192` | 64 | 62 | Large department subnets |
| `/24` | `255.255.255.0` | 256 | 254 | Standard LAN / Office network segment |
| `/16` | `255.255.0.0` | 65,536 | 65,534 | Enterprise network core / Cloud VPCs |
