1. The document discusses CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation for subnet masks used by m0n0wall, rather than the common 255.x.x.x format. 2. It includes a table that shows the equivalent CIDR prefix for different subnet masks, along with the total number of IP addresses and usable IP addresses within each subnet. 3. The CIDR number represented by a subnet mask comes from counting the number of 1's in the binary representation of the subnet mask. For example, 255.255.255.0 is /24 as it has 24 1's, and 255.255.255.192 is /26 with 26 1's.

1.5.

Understanding CIDR Subnet Mask Notation


m0n0wall uses a subnet mask format that you may not be familiar with.
Rather than the common 255.x.x.x, it uses CIDR (Classless InterDomain
Routing) notation.

1.5.1. CIDR Table

You can refer to the following table to find the CIDR equivalent of your subnet
mask.

1.5.2. So where do these CIDR numbers come from anyway?

The CIDR number comes from the number of 1's in the subnet mask when
converted to binary.

The common subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is


11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 in binary. This adds up to 24 1's, or
/24 (pronounced 'slash twenty four').

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 is


11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000 in binary, or 26 1's, hence a /26.

And so on...
