Questions tagged [netmask]

A bitwise mask that shows which part of the IP address is shared by all computers in the subnetwork and is used to identify them all together in some larger network. The IP address part that is not flagged by this mask identifies individual computers in the subnetwork.

Netmask can be specified either in quad-dotted decimal representation like 255.255.254.0 (means the seven lower bits identify computers in subnetwork) or, together with IP address, as a number of the high bits used by the larger network and not by subnetwork (192.168.80.0/23, the same).

The bitwise AND operation between mask and IP address results the address of the network itself, and the remainder identifies the computer LAN connector within that network.

Given the IP and netmask, how can I calculate the network address using bash?

In a bash script I have an IP address like 192.168.1.15 and a netmask like 255.255.0.0. I now want to calculate the start address of this network, that means using the &-operator on both addresses. In the example, the result would be 192.168.0.0.…

Java & Windows 7: Reliably getting IPv4 netmask?

I've run into a known bug with Java 6 on Windows. My understanding is that the normal way to get the netmask is to look up the network prefix length and do some bit shifts. The problem is that on Windows the prefix length is often returned…

Efficient way to test if bitwise IPv6 netmask is contiguous

I need to store IP addresses/netmasks in an in_addr/in6_addr struct. For IPv4 I use the following code to test if the netmask is contiguous: ((((~netmask + 1) & (~netmask)) != 0) && (netmask != 0)) I was wondering if there is a smart way to do the…
