The program takes an IP address and a subnet mask as input and gives the following information about the inputs:
- Network Address
- Broadcast Address
- Number of valid hosts per subnet
- Wildcard Mask
- Mask Bits
Download the program and place it into desired folder.
If you're using Linux/MAC OS, open terminal and browse to the downloaded folder and run python subnetcalc.py.
if you're using windows, make sure you have Python2.7 set up (See Python installation on windows ). Open command prompt and browse to the installed folder and run python subnetcalc.py
No external libraries used. Make sure the internal libraries especially sys and random libraries are importable. These come builtin with standard Python package and there is no need to install any external libraries.
When the program is run, the following prompt is obtained:
Enter an IP address:
Type the desired IP address that you want to find information about and press Enter. The next prompt is:
Enter a subnet mask:
Type the subnet mask corresponding to the IP address given and press Enter. After the information is generated, the program prompts for the generation of a random IP address. It's totally upto you! type 'y' for yes or 'n' for no and press Enter.
Enter an IP address: 10.0.0.1
Enter a subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Network address is: 10.0.0.0
Broadcast address is: 10.255.255.255
Number of valid hosts per subnet: 16777214
Wildcard mask: 0.255.255.255
Mask bits: 8
Generate random ip address from subnet? (y/n)y
Random IP address is: 10.182.239.24
Generate random ip address from subnet? (y/n)n
Ok, bye!
