IP subnet calculator

Type an address with its prefix or mask to see the network, its usable range and masks. Split it into smaller subnets, or look up any prefix in the reference tables.

Usable hosts131,070

Subnet mask255.254.0.0

Addresses131,072

Network address: 78.4.0.0
Broadcast address: 78.5.255.255
First usable: 78.4.0.1
Last usable: 78.5.255.254
Usable hosts: 131,070 (131,072 less the network and broadcast addresses)
Subnet mask: 255.254.0.0
Wildcard mask: 0.1.255.255 (Cisco ACLs, OSPF)
Prefix length: /15
Type: Public public
Old class: A (default /8)
As numbers: Hex 4E040000 · Integer 1308884992 to 1309016063
Reverse DNS zones: 4.78.in-addr.arpa
5.78.in-addr.arpa
/15 is not on a 8-bit boundary, so it takes 2 /16 zones.

`2000::/3`	Global unicast	Public internet addresses

About this tool

A network is written as an address and a prefix length, such as 192.168.1.0/24: the first 24 bits name the network and the rest number the devices on it. The calculator works out where the network starts and ends, how many devices it holds, its subnet and wildcard masks, and the reverse DNS zone to ask your provider for.

It also splits a network into equal smaller ones (one per VLAN or site), turns a range of addresses into the fewest CIDR blocks for a firewall rule, and lists every IPv4 prefix length and the common IPv6 ones in reference tables.

Common questions

Why are two addresses lost in every IPv4 subnet?

The first address names the network and the last is the broadcast address, so a /24 has 256 addresses but 254 for devices. A /31 (a link between two routers) and a /32 (one host) are the exceptions.

What size of IPv6 network should a LAN use?

Always /64. Devices pick their own address within it (SLAAC), which needs the full 64 bits. A site usually gets a /48 or /56 from its provider, which holds 65,536 or 256 LANs.

What is a wildcard mask?

The subnet mask turned inside out: 255.255.255.0 becomes 0.0.0.255. Cisco access lists and OSPF use it to say which bits must match.

Which ranges can I use inside an office?

IPv4: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16. IPv6: unique local addresses from fd00::/8, though most networks use the public prefix from their provider.
