RE: CIDR Explanation

Hi !

Do not worry, it has been nearly the same for me :)
        - If you want to use it without having to understand very well, you can play with 
http://www.solarwinds.net/Tools/Free_tools/Subnet_Calc/. It's free and quite good !
        - If you want to understand ... Well for my part, I passed the CCNA exam and in their book (not free :) ) they 
explain quite good this topic.

HTH !

Hi List,

     I am hoping that somebody might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction. For the life of me I 
can't seem to get a good grasp on CIDR notation. I see a lot of CIDR addresses every day, but I have trouble figuring 
out the IP addresses on the fly. I am not a complete newbie - I am quite familiar with the OSI model, TCP handshakes, 
etc but this one area stumps me.

     I am particularly interested in it because I am going to be setting up a snort box soon as well as an IP chains 
firewall to segregate parts of the network. I would much rather use CIDR since it can be much quicker at times, but I 
don't want to use it right now due to my lack of knowledge which can cause security issues. Can anybody offer 
advice/help? Thanks.
