Example log of an IP address in CIDR notation

For an IP range in the format 10.96.0.0/11, the subnet mask is 11111111 11100000 00000000 00000000 in binary format, or 255.224.0.0 in decimal format.

11 digits of the IP address are intended for the network number, and the other digits are intended for the local address in the network. Therefore, 10.96.0.0/11 denotes a range of addresses from 10.96.0.1 to 10.127.255.255.

When CIDR routing is specified in the IPv4 networks, the rule is applied to the whole subnet.

For converting IP addresses to CIDR, we recommend using an online service such as https://ip2cidr.com/.
