Understanding CIDR Notation

What is CIDR?

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing. It replaces the older system of IP address classes with a more flexible notation.

CIDR Format

A CIDR address looks like: 192.168.1.0/24
The number after the slash represents the network prefix length.

Common Prefix Lengths

  • /24 - 256 addresses (typical home network)
  • /16 - 65,536 addresses (medium network)
  • /8 - 16,777,216 addresses (large network)
