  2. Wildcard mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_mask

    A wildcard mask can be thought of as an inverted subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match

  3. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    The routing prefix of an address is identified by the subnet mask, written in the same form used for IP addresses. For example, the subnet mask for a routing prefix that is composed of the most-significant 24 bits of an IPv4 address is written as 255.255.255.0.

  4. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    A subnet mask is a bitmask that encodes the prefix length associated with an IPv4 address or network in quad-dotted notation: 32 bits, starting with a number of 1-bits equal to the prefix length, ending with 0-bits, and encoded in four-part dotted-decimal format: 255.255.255.0. A subnet mask encodes the same information as a prefix length but ...

  5. Mask (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing)

    mask: 0.0.0.255. network address (binary): 11000000.00000000.00000010.00000000 mask (binary): 00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 Based on the binary mask, it can be seen that the first three sets must match the given binary network address exactly (11000000.00000000.00000010). The last set of numbers is made of "don't cares" (.11111111).

  6. Dot-decimal notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-decimal_notation

    Dot-decimal notation is a presentation format for numerical data. It consists of a string of decimal numbers, using the full stop (dot) as a separation character. [1]A common use of dot-decimal notation is in information technology where it is a method of writing numbers in octet-grouped base-10 numbers. [2]

  7. Supernetwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernetwork

    Firstly, the addresses are converted to binary format and aligned in a list: Address First Octet Second Octet Third Octet ... The subnet mask is 255.255.240.0. This ...

  8. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    As shown in the example below, in order to calculate the directed broadcast address to transmit a packet to an entire IPv4 subnet using the private IP address space 172.16.0.0 / 12, which has the subnet mask 255.240.0.0, the broadcast address is calculated as 172.16.0.0 bitwise ORed with 0.15.255.255 = 172.31.255.255. Directed broadcasts always ...

  9. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    The term subnet mask is only used within IPv4. Both IP versions however use the CIDR concept and notation. In this, the IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the network part, also called the routing prefix. For example, an IPv4 address and its subnet mask may be 192.0.2.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively.
