4 Websites You Can Use For Subnet Calculation

Originally Published in TechBeats

You might be a System Administrator, Developer, Infra Designer, Architect or a Capacity Manager by role, but getting quick information on your VLAN or available subnet is always a headache; and we make mistakes in hurry. Since this subnet information is so important and bit nasty sometimes, we all use different method to get this information like subnet size, subnet mask, available hosts, default router IP to be used, broadcast IP etc.

For quick reference I used to keep a table as it will be easy for me to guess the basic details of the subnet. But for complex details, we use some spreadsheet with formulas and filters. So I thought to keep a list of useful portals which will help you to calculate most of the subnet details in a quick and easy way.
