CIDRinfo

The CIDRinfo table provides the means to map between different representations of subnets and subnet masks. This table belongs to the category mappings.

The following table describes the CIDRinfo table.

Table 1. CIDRInfo table
Column name

Type

Constraints Description
maskBits 32-bit integer

Primary key

Not null

The number of bits in the mask. For example, for a class C network, this is 24.
CIDRString 7-character string Not null The Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for the subnet. For example, for a class C network, this is /24.
inverseMask IP Address Not null The inverse mask for the network. The inverse mask acts as a wildcard for OSPF and ACLs.
numHosts 64-bit integer Not null The number of IP addresses in the network. For example, for a class C network this is 256.
numClassC Double precision floating point number Not null The number of class C networks within the subnet.
netmask 15-character string Not null The subnet mask for the network. For example, for a class C network this is 255.255.255.0.
