CIDR Tools & Converters
Comprehensive CIDR tools for network analysis, conversion, and optimization. Convert between notation formats, summarize networks, split subnets, and perform set operations on IP ranges.
IP Range to CIDR
Convert IP address ranges (start-end) into minimal CIDR blocks
CIDR Summarizer
Optimize mixed IP addresses, CIDR blocks, and ranges into minimal CIDR prefixes
CIDR Split
Split a network into N equal child subnets or to a target prefix length
Next Available Subnet
Find available subnets in pools using first-fit or best-fit algorithms
Free Space Finder
List unallocated IP blocks in CIDR pools by prefix length
CIDR Deaggregate
Break CIDR blocks into smaller uniform subnets (e.g., split into /24s)
CIDR Compare
Compare CIDR lists to show added, removed, and unchanged blocks
CIDR Allocator
Allocate subnets into network pools using first-fit or best-fit algorithms
CIDR Alignment
Check if IP addresses align to CIDR prefix boundaries
Wildcard Mask Converter
Convert between CIDR, subnet masks, and wildcard masks with ACL rule generation
What is CIDR?
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. Unlike the old classful system, CIDR allows flexible allocation of address space using variable-length subnet masks.
CIDR notation specifies an IP address followed by a slash and the number of bits used for the network prefix. For
example, 192.168.1.0/24 means the first 24 bits identify the network, leaving 8 bits for host addresses
(256 total, 254 usable).
Common CIDR Block Sizes
| CIDR | Subnet Mask | Hosts | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| /8 | 255.0.0.0 | 16,777,214 | Large ISP allocation |
| /16 | 255.255.0.0 | 65,534 | Enterprise network |
| /24 | 255.255.255.0 | 254 | Small office/LAN |
| /28 | 255.255.255.240 | 14 | Small subnet |
| /30 | 255.255.255.252 | 2 | Point-to-point link |
| /32 | 255.255.255.255 | 1 | Single host route |
