About:
cidr is a command-line interface tool designed for performing various calculations and validations on CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) ranges. It provides utilities for expanding ranges, calculating network masks, and determining IP counts. This tool is essential for network engineers and developers managing IP address allocations and infrastructure planning.
Key Features:
  • Expand CIDR ranges to individual IP addresses
  • Calculate network masks and IP counts
  • Validate CIDR notation for correctness
  • Fast and lightweight Go-based implementation
Use Cases:
  • Generating IP address lists for network ACLs or firewall rules
  • Planning and auditing IP address allocations in cloud infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • ipcalc – ipcalc is a classic tool often pre-installed on Linux systems, while cidr offers a modern, cross-platform alternative with a focus on simplicity and speed.
