  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; 1 ...

  3. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an IP address. For example, the prefix 198.51.100.0 / 24 would have the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Traffic is exchanged between subnets through routers when the routing prefixes of the source address and the destination address differ. A router serves as a logical or physical boundary ...

  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. List of assigned /8 IPv4 address blocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4...

    Each / 8 block contains 256 3 = 2 24 = 16,777,216 addresses, which covers the whole range of the last three delimited segments of an IP address. This means that 256 /8 address blocks fit into the entire IPv4 space.

  6. 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.

  7. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    Hop-by-hop is the fundamental characteristic of the IP Internet layer [1] and the OSI Network Layer. When a router interface is configured with an IP address and subnet mask, the interface becomes a host on that attached network. A directly connected network is a network that is directly attached to one of the router interfaces.

  8. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    The network has a subnet mask of: 255.255.255.0 (/24 in CIDR notation) The address range assignable to hosts is from 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.4.254. TCP/IP defines the ...

  9. Classful network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network

    The blocks numerically at the start and end of classes A, B and C were originally reserved for special addressing or future features, i.e., 0.0.0.0 / 8 and 127.0.0.0 / 8 are reserved in former class A; 128.0.0.0 / 16 and 191.255.0.0 / 16 were reserved in former class B but are now available for assignment; 192.0.0.0 / 24 and 223.255.255.0 / 24 ...
