Convert CIDR to IP range

Convert CIDR to IP range

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation is a way to represent IP address ranges and network prefixes. It is commonly used in networking to specify IP address ranges for routing and subnetting purposes. CIDR notation combines the IP address with a prefix length, which indicates how many bits of the IP address are used for the network portion.

For example, the CIDR notation "192.168.1.0/24" represents an IP address range where the first 24 bits are used for the network, and the remaining 8 bits are available for host addresses. In this case, it covers all IP addresses from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255.

A CIDR to IP range converter is a free online tool that helps you convert CIDR notation into a list of individual IP addresses that are part of the specified range. It's a useful tool for network administrators and engineers who need to work with IP address ranges in a more human-readable format.

Here's how a CIDR to IP range converter typically works:

• You input a CIDR notation (e.g., "192.168.1.0/24") into the converter.
• The converter calculates the range of IP addresses covered by that CIDR notation.
• It generates a list of individual IP addresses within that range, which you can use for various network configuration tasks.

CIDR to IP range converters are often available as online tools, command-line utilities, or integrated features within network management software. They simplify the process of working with IP address ranges, making it easier to understand and manage network configurations.
