  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

    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.

  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)

    Masks for IP ACLs are the reverse: for example, mask 0.0.0.255. This is sometimes called an inverse mask or a wildcard mask . When the value of the mask is broken down into binary (0s and 1s), the results determine which address bits are to be considered in processing the traffic.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Private network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

    RFC 1918 name IP address range Number of addresses Largest CIDR block (subnet mask) Host ID size Mask bits Classful description [Note 1]; 24-bit block: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255: 16 777 216

  8. Longest prefix match - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_prefix_match

    In this case, the longest prefix of the candidate routes is 192.168.20.16/28, since its subnet mask (/28) is longer than the other entry's mask (/16), making the route more specific. Forwarding tables often contain a default route , which has the shortest possible prefix match, to fall back on in case matches with all other entries fail.

  9. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    Network mask in all networks: 255.255.255.0 (/24 in CIDR notation). If the routers do not use a routing protocol to discover which network each router is connected to, then the routing table of each router must be set up. Router1
