The result uses CIDR notation and can be used by an administrator to block a range of IP addresses. The template can be used by editing any page, inserting the template, and previewing the result. There is no need to save the edit. As an example, you could edit your sandbox and replace its contents with
Shorter CIDR prefixes match more addresses, while longer prefixes match fewer. In the case of overlaid CIDR blocks, an address can match multiple CIDR prefixes of different lengths. CIDR is also used for IPv6 addresses and the syntax semantic is identical. The prefix length can range from 0 to 128, due to the larger number of bits in the address.
Since the introduction of CIDR, however, the assignment of an IP address to a network interface requires two parameters, the address and a subnet mask. Given an IPv4 source address, its associated subnet mask, and the destination address, a router can determine whether the destination is on a locally connected network or a remote network.
The CIDR notation for this group is 224.0.0.0 / 4. [1] The group includes the addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 . The address range is divided into blocks each assigned a specific purpose or behavior.
A wildcard mask is a mask of bits that indicates which parts of an IP address are available for examination. In the Cisco IOS, [1] they are used in several places, for example:
The subnet mask or CIDR notation determines how the IP address is divided into network and host parts. 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 ...
For example, consider this IPv4 forwarding table (CIDR notation is used): 192.168.20.16/28 192.168.0.0/16 When the address 192.168.20.19 needs to be looked up, both entries in the forwarding table "match". That is, both entries contain the looked up address.
