How to use this tool

An IPv4 wildcard mask is the bitwise inverse of a subnet mask. It is commonly used in network access control lists and routing configuration to identify which address bits may vary. Enter a CIDR prefix length to view both masks and the size of the address block. Wildcard masks are not themselves IP addresses, and vendor-specific configuration syntax may vary.
