The IPNetwork application was developed to be a small command line utility which will take care of complex network, ip, netmask, subnet, cidr calculation. It works with IPv4,
it is written in C# and has a light and clean API and is fully unit tested.
Usage:
ipnetwork [-inmcbflu] [-d cidr|-D] [-h|-s cidr|-S|-w|-W|-x|-C network|-o network] networks ...
Print options
-i : network
-n : network address
-m : netmask
-c : cidr
-b : broadcast
-f : first usable ip address
-l : last usable ip address
-u : number of usable ip addresses
Parse options
-d cidr : use cidr if not provided (default /32)
-D : use default cidr (ClassA/8, ClassB/16, ClassC/24)
Actions
-h : help message
-s cidr : split network into cidr subnets
-w : supernet networks into smallest possible subnets
-W : supernet networks into one single subnet
-x : list all ipadresses in networks
-C network : network contain networks
-o network : network overlap networks
networks : one or more network addresses
