Converting CIDR address to subnet mask and network address

Question

Given a CIDR address, e.g. 192.168.10.0/24

• How to determine mask length? (24)
• How to determine mask address? (255.255.

Answer 1

Here is a simple Groovy example

def cidrAddress = '192.168.10.0/24'
def cidrAddressList = cidrAddress.tokenize("\\/")
def baseIPAddress = cidrAddressList.first()
def cidrIPMask = cidrAddressList.last().toInteger()
def netMaskList = []
Integer fullOctets = cidrIPMask.intdiv(8)
fullOctets.times {netMaskList.add('255')}
def remainder = cidrIPMask % 8
netMaskList.add((256 - (2 ** (8 - remainder))).toString())
netMaskList.addAll(['0','0','0','0'])
def netMask = netMaskList.flatten().getAt(0..3).join('.')
return [cidrAddress,baseIPAddress,cidrIPMask,netMask]
