NAME
       ipcalc - An IPv4 Netmask/broadcast/etc calculator

SYNOPSIS
        ipcalc  [options] ADDRESS[[/]NETMASK] [NETMASK]

DESCRIPTION
       ipcalc  takes  an  IPv4  address  and netmask and calculates the resulting broadcast, network, Cisco wildcard mask, and host
       range. By giving a second netmask, you can design sub- and supernetworks. It is also intended to  be  a  teaching  tool  and
       presents the results as easy-to-understand binary values.

       --help Display help usage

       -n, --nocolor
              Don't display ANSI color codes

       -b, --nobinary
              Suppress the bitwise output

       -c, --class
              Just print bit-count-mask of given address

       -h, --html
              Display results as HTML

       -v, --version
              Print Version

       -s, --split n1 n2 n3.
              Split into networks of size n1, n2, n3

       -r, --range
              Deaggregate address range

EXAMPLES
       ipcalc 192.168.0.1/24

       ipcalc 192.168.0.1/255.255.128.0

       ipcalc 192.168.0.1 255.255.128.0 255.255.192.0

       ipcalc 192.168.0.1 0.0.63.255

       deaggregate address range
              ipcalc <ADDRESS1> - <ADDRESS2>

       split network to subnets where a b c fits in
              ipcalc <ADDRESS>/<NETMASK> -s a b c

IP Calculator 0.41

Enter your netmask(s) in CIDR notation (/25) or dotted decimals
(255.255.255.0). Inverse netmask are recognized. If you mmit the
netmask, ipcalc uses the default netmask for the class of your
network.

Look at the space between the bits of the addresses: The bits before
it are the network part of the address, the bits after it are the host
part. You can see two simple facts: In a network address all host bits
are zero, in a broadcast address they are all set.

The class of your network is determined by its first bits.

If your network is a private internet according to RFC 1918 this is
remarked. When displaying subnets the new bits in the network part of
the netmask are marked in a different color.

The wildcard is the inverse netmask as used for access control lists
in Cisco routers. You can also enter netmasks in wildcard notation.

Do you want to split your network into subnets? Enter the address and
netmask of your original network and play with the second netmask
until the result matches your needs.

Usage: ipcalc [options] <ADDRESS>[[/]<NETMASK>] [NETMASK]

ipcalc takes an IP address and netmask and calculates the resulting
broadcast, network, Cisco wildcard mask, and host range. By giving a
second netmask, you can design sub- and supernetworks. It is also
intended to be a teaching tool and presents the results as
easy-to-understand binary values.

 -n --nocolor  Don't display ANSI color codes.
 -c --color    Display ANSI color codes (default).
 -b --nobinary Suppress the bitwise output.
 -c --class    Just print bit-count-mask of given address.
 -h --html     Display results as HTML (not finished in this version).
 -v --version  Print Version.
 -s --split n1 n2 n3
               Split into networks of size n1, n2, n3.
 -r --range    Deaggregate address range.
    --help     Longer help text.

Examples:

ipcalc 192.168.0.1/24
ipcalc 192.168.0.1/255.255.128.0
ipcalc 192.168.0.1 255.255.128.0 255.255.192.0
ipcalc 192.168.0.1 0.0.63.255


ipcalc <ADDRESS1> - <ADDRESS2>  deaggregate address range

ipcalc <ADDRESS>/<NETMASK> --s a b c
                                split network to subnets
                                where a b c fits in.
