IPv4 CIDR subnets

ipv4-cidr-subnets · version 1.0.0 · URLs & IP addresses · free, no key needed

Split an IPv4 CIDR block into the full ordered list of equal-size subnets at a given longer prefix.

Use when you need to: ipv4 cidr subnets · split ipv4 cidr into subnets · ipv4 subnetting.

Supported

• ipv4 cidr subnets
• split ipv4 cidr into subnets
• ipv4 subnetting

Not supported

• IPv6
• unequal (VLSM) splits
• splitting into a target subnet count instead of a prefix

Behavior

• cidr is dotted-decimal/prefix with host bits zero; new_prefix is a JSON integer strictly greater than cidr's prefix and at most 32.
• subnets is the ordered list of all 2^(new_prefix - prefix) equal-size /new_prefix blocks that exactly partition cidr, network-address first.
• Throws if 2^(new_prefix - prefix) would exceed 4096.

Input

• cidr (string, required): max length 18
• new_prefix (integer, required): min 0; max 32

Output

• subnets (array of string, required): max items 4096; each max length 18
• count (integer, required): min 1; max 4096

Limits

• max cidr length: 18
• prefix max: 32
• max output subnets: 4096

Example

Request input:

{
  "cidr": "192.168.1.0/24",
  "new_prefix": 26
}

Response:

{
  "result": {
    "subnets": [
      "192.168.1.0/26",
      "192.168.1.64/26",
      "192.168.1.128/26",
      "192.168.1.192/26"
    ],
    "count": 4
  }
}
