Subnetting Formula Reference

1. Network & Broadcast

Network Address is calculated via bitwise AND: $\text{IP} \mathbin{\&} \text{Mask}$. Broadcast Address is calculated via bitwise OR with inverted mask: $\text{Network} \mathbin{|} \sim\text{Mask}$.

2. Usable Host Capacity

For prefixes $\le 30$, usable hosts = $2^{(32 - \text{CIDR})} - 2$, reserving the network and broadcast IPs. For $/31$ and $/32$, specialized point-to-point and loopback rules apply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A wildcard mask is the inverse of a subnet mask (where 0s become 1s and 1s become 0s), commonly used in router Access Control Lists (ACLs) to specify network ranges.

The first usable IP is always the network address plus 1, and the last usable IP is the broadcast address minus 1 (for standard subnets up to $/30$).
