3.1.2. IP Addresses Chapter 3. Fundamentals IP Network IP Range An IP Network is represented using Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR) form. CIDR uses a forward slash and a digit (0-32) to denote the size of the network as a postfix. This is also known as the netmask. /24 corresponds to a class C net with 256 addresses (netmask 255.255.255.0), /27 corresponds to a 32 address net (netmask 255.255.255.224) and so on. The numbers 0-32 correspond to the number of binary ones in the netmask. For example: 192.168.0.0/24. A range of IP addresses is represented with the form a.b.c.d - e.f.g.h. Note that ranges are not limited to netmask boundaries. They may include any span of IP addresses. For example, 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.15 represents six hosts in consecutive order. Example 3.1.
