- Did you know you can even have odd subnets like /127, /126, /125, /123, etc..?
It may seem intimidating but its actually pretty simple.
Lets take this example IP: 2001:EF01:2345::FFFF
Next, lets take the last hextet from that IP: FFFF
Lastly, lets take out the last nibble from that hextet: F
In decimal format, what number does F represent? _____15______________________________
How many binary digits do you need to represent that number? _______4__________________
How many numbers are between /128 and /124? ___________16__________________________
Piece it together yet? If not, lets break it down this way.
| CIDR | End of Range | Binary Representation |
| /128 | :: | 0000 |
| /127 | ::1 | 0001 |
| /126 | ::3 | 0011 |
| /125 | ::7 | 0111 |
| /124 | ::F | 1111 |
Now it your turn. try and finish these ranges.
| CIDR | End of Range | CIDR | End of Range |
| /123 | ::1F | /76 | ::F:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF |
| /122 | ::3F | /75 | ::1F:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF |
| /121 |
| /74 |
|
| /120 |
| /73 |
|
| /119 |
| /44 |
|
| /118 |
| /43 |
|
| /117 |
| /42 |
|
| /116 |
| /41 |
