IP Subnet Splitter & Merger Tool
✉️ Split a Network into Subnets
Enter a network in CIDR notation and choose the new prefix length to split into.
|
Format: x.x.x.x/prefix (e.g. 172.16.0.0/16) |
Must be larger than network prefix |
💡 Quick Examples
About This Subnet Tool
This free IPv4 Subnet Splitter & Merger allows network engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals to divide (split) large IP address blocks into smaller subnets and consolidate (merge) multiple smaller subnets into their covering supernets — all with instant CIDR calculations and no server-side processing.

✉️
Subnet Splitter Takes any CIDR block and divides it into equal-sized subnets of a specified prefix length. Shows network, broadcast, and host ranges for each. |
🔗
Subnet Merger Aggregates multiple subnets into the fewest possible supernets. Useful for route summarization and simplifying routing tables in BGP and OSPF. |

Frequently Asked Questions
|
What is CIDR notation? CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation expresses an IP address and its associated network prefix length. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 means the network has a 24-bit prefix, giving 256 total addresses (254 usable hosts). The /24 corresponds to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. |
|
How does subnet splitting work? Splitting a network means increasing the prefix length. A /22 network split into /24 subnets produces 4 subnets (2^(24-22) = 4). Each subnet is one-quarter the size of the original, with its own network address, broadcast address, and host range. This is called subnetting. |
|
What is route summarization (supernetting)? Route summarization combines multiple contiguous subnets into a single larger supernet route advertisement. Instead of advertising 4 × /24 routes, a router can advertise one /22 route. This reduces routing table size, speeds up routing decisions, and improves network stability. Our merger tool automates this calculation. |
