IP Parser

Parse and analyze IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Show type, decimal and binary representation, address class, public/private range, and CIDR subnet calculations.

IPv4 & IPv6 CIDR Subnet Auto-Detect

How to Use IP Parser

1

Enter IP Address

Type an IPv4 or IPv6 address. You can optionally append CIDR notation (e.g., /24) for subnet calculations.

2

Instant Analysis

The address is parsed to show its type, class, scope (public/private), and decimal and binary representations.

3

Subnet Details

When CIDR notation is provided, view the network address, broadcast, host range, and total host count.

What is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a numerical label assigned to each device on a computer network. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::1). IP addresses enable devices to identify and communicate with each other on the network.

IPv4

32-bit addresses in dotted decimal notation (e.g., 192.168.1.1). Supports classes A through E and CIDR subnetting.

IPv6

128-bit addresses in hexadecimal notation (e.g., 2001:db8::1). The next-generation protocol with a vastly larger address space.

CIDR Notation

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) specifies an IP address and its associated routing prefix for subnet calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support both IPv4 and IPv6?

Yes. The tool auto-detects and parses both IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:db8::1) addresses. It handles shortened IPv6 notation with double colons (::) and expanded forms.

Can it calculate CIDR subnet ranges?

Yes. Enter a CIDR notation like 192.168.1.0/24 to see the network address, broadcast address, first and last host, and total usable host count. CIDR calculation is supported for IPv4 addresses.

Does it detect private vs public IPs?

Yes. The tool identifies RFC 1918 private ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), loopback addresses (127.x.x.x), and link-local addresses (169.254.x.x) for IPv4, and equivalent ranges for IPv6.
