CIDR Addressing
Another way to express the subnetwork mask is through CIDR addressing (Classless Inter-Domain
Routing) which is written as a slash and a number which represents the number of true bits set in the
subnetwork mask. For example, the subnetwork mask 255.128.0.0 is 11111111 10000000 00000000
00000000 in binary or /9.
An IP address can be expressed with its CIDR subnetwork mask in the form of 192.168.0.0/24 for ex-
ample.
Private IPv4 Address Ranges
Each IP address class has a private address range. Private IPv4 addresses cannot be routed over the
Internet.
Distech Controls IP controllers will normally be assigned to a private IP address and are connected to
the LAN ports of a router, thereby keeping them behind a firewall from the internet while allowing them
to freely communicate to each other and to other trusted devices.
The following IPv4 address ranges are reserved for private networks.
Network Class IP Address Range Number of Addresses Largest CIDR Block (subnetwork mask)
A 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 16,777,216 10.0.0.0/8 (255.0.0.0)
B 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 1,048,576 172.16.0.0/12 (255.240.0.0)
C 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 65,536 192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)
Reserved Host Addresses
The first and the last IP addresses are reserved for special use on all subnetwork IP address ranges:
