Generation

# CIDR Notation Explanation **CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)** notation is a compact method for specifying IP addresses and their associated network masks, written as `IP_address/prefix_length` (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24). The prefix length indicates how many bits from the left are used for the network portion, with the remaining bits identifying individual hosts. **Key formula:** - **Number of available IP addresses** = 2^(32 - prefix_length) for IPv4 - **Number of usable host addresses** = 2^(32 - prefix_length) - 2 (subtracting network and broadcast addresses) For example, /24 provides 2^(32-24) = 256 total addresses, with 254 usable for hosts.
