How It Works

Understanding Subnetting

CIDR Notation

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) uses a suffix like /24 to define the number of network bits. A /24 means 256 total addresses with 254 usable hosts.

Subnet Masks

The subnet mask separates the network portion from the host portion of an IP address. Common masks include 255.255.255.0 (/24) and 255.255.0.0 (/16).

Network Planning

Proper subnetting reduces broadcast domains, improves security through network segmentation, and optimizes IP address allocation across your infrastructure.
