Example 10 - ClassLess network parse
If you don't specify the network cidr, IPNetwork will try to guess the CIDR for you. There are two strategies to guess ClassFull (default) and ClassLess.
ClassFull (default strategy)
is based on the default Class A, B or C networks. IPV4 :
- Class A: 0 - 127 with a mask of 255.0.0.0 (/8)
- Class B: 128 - 191 with a mask of 255.255.0.0 (/16)
- Class C: 192 - 223 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 (/24)
IPV6 : /64
ClassLess
IPV4 : /32 IPV6 : /128
IPv4
IPNetwork2 defaultParse= IPNetwork2.Parse("192.168.0.0"); // default to ClassFull
IPNetwork2 classFullParse = IPNetwork2.Parse("192.168.0.0", CidrGuess.ClassFull);
IPNetwork2 classLessParse = IPNetwork2.Parse("192.168.0.0", CidrGuess.ClassLess);
Console.WriteLine("IPV4 Default Parse : {0}", defaultStrategy);
Console.WriteLine("IPV4 ClassFull Parse : {0}", classFullParse);
Console.WriteLine("IPV4 ClassLess Parse : {0}", classLessParse);
Output
IPV4 Default Parse : 192.168.0.0/24
IPV4 ClassFull Parse : 192.168.0.0/24
IPV4 ClassLess Parse : 192.168.0.0/32
IPv6
IPNetwork2 defaultParse = IPNetwork2.Parse("::1"); // default to ClassFull
IPNetwork2 classFullParse = IPNetwork2.Parse("::1", CidrGuess.ClassFull);
IPNetwork2 classLessParse = IPNetwork2.Parse("::1", CidrGuess.ClassLess);
Console.WriteLine("IPV6 Default Parse : {0}", defaultParse);
Console.WriteLine("IPV6 ClassFull Parse : {0}", classFullParse);
Console.WriteLine("IPV6 ClassLess Parse : {0}", classLessParse);
Output
IPV6 Default Parse : ::/64
IPV6 ClassFull Parse : ::/64
IPV6 ClassLess Parse : ::1/128
IPNetwork utility command line
IPNetwork utility command line take care of complex network, ip, netmask, subnet, cidr calculation for command line. It works with IPv4, it is written in C# and has a light and clean API and is fully unit tested.
Below some examples :
