What is a CIDR IP address example?

A CIDR IP address appends a suffix value stating the number of network address prefix bits to a normal IP address. For example, 192.0.2.0/24 is an IPv4 CIDR address where the first 24 bits, or 192.0.2, is the network address. What are the limitations of classful IP addressing that CIDR overcomes?

How does CIDR work?

Every machine, server, and end-user device that connects to the internet has a unique number, called an IP address, associated with it. Devices find and communicate with one another by using these IP addresses. Organizations use CIDR to allocate IP addresses flexibly and efficiently in their networks.

What are examples of CIDR notation?

Some examples of CIDR notation are the addresses 192.0.2.0 / 24 for IPv4 and 2001:db8:: / 32 for IPv6. Blocks of addresses having contiguous prefixes may be aggregated as supernets, reducing the number of entries in the global routing table. Each IP address consists of a network prefix followed by a host identifier.

Does pfSense® use CIDR?

pfSense® software uses CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation rather than the common subnet mask 255.x.x.x when configuring addresses and networks. Refer to the CIDR Subnet Table to find the CIDR equivalent of a decimal subnet mask.
