How IPv4 Subnetting and CIDR Work
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) divides large IP blocks into smaller subnets using a prefix length (such as /24 for standard 256-address networks). The first address in any subnet is reserved as the Network identifier, while the highest address is reserved for Broadcast, leaving 2^(32 - CIDR) - 2 addresses for usable host devices.
