Subnet Calculator

Introduction

This document provides background information on the purpose and usage of this subnet calculator. I created this subnet calculator while taking a Network Fundamentals course at Purdue University. The course included several “subnetting assignments” that required performing binary calculations using a host IP address, a major network mask, and a subnet mask.

Using these inputs, I then had to perform bitwise operations to determine several pieces of information, as outlined in Table 1.
