Taking an example IP address of Show
IP typeCheck if the IP address is within any of the ranges of private IP addresses. If it is, then it is a private address. Otherwise, it is a public address. Looking at the ranges, we see that IP classLooking through the
ranges of each class in the previous section, we see that the IP address Network addressLet's go through the calculation of the network address, step-by-step.
So, Total number of addressesNext, we'll calculate the total number of addresses, as we need that to work out the broadcast address. Use the equation for the total number of addresses, given that the CIDR is 24.
So, the total number of addresses is 256. Broadcast addressNow, we can calculate the broadcast address. Convert the network address from binary to decimal, which gives
So, the broadcast address for our example is First and last host addressesFor the first usable host address, we add one to the network address. While you can do all of the converting to a decimal number, adding one, and switching back to the quad-dotted decimal format, usually, it's easy to work directly with the quad-dotted decimal. Adding one to the network
address The same can be said when calculating the last usable host address, which is the broadcast address minus one. That gives a result of Wildcard maskTo calculate the wildcard mask, convert the subnet mask to binary and flip all the bits. Then switch back to the quad-dotted decimal format.
The wildcard mask for our example is IP address in integer and hexadecimalUsing the binary form of the IP address, we can convert the binary number to integer (base 10) and hexadecimal (base 16).

That's a lot of work here, isn't it? Thanks to our IP address subnet calculator, you can obtain all of this information in a minute! How many usable IP addresses in a 30?The /30 subnet will be assigned to the Internet Access Service used by your equipment. In case of multiple services, you will need to select on which one you will be use it. Out of all 4 IPs in this /30 subnet, only 1 can be used. The first IP address from this subnet (ex: .
How many usable hosts are on a 30 network?A CIDR of /30 means you only have two bits for host addresses. One will be consumed for the network address and the other for the broadcast address. This leaves only two actual usable IP addresses in that subnet.
What is the subnet mask for 30?Class A. How many usable hosts are in a 29 subnet mask?For example, you would request a “/29” subnet from your ISP, and you would be provided with a subnet of 8 IP Addresses, 6 of which are usable – this is because 1 is the network address (the first IP) and one is the broadcast address (the last IP).
