Do you ever get sick of using the same subnets when you're designing networks?
Cant decide what ip address range you should use?
Dont want to use the default 192.168.0.1/24 172.16.0.1/12 or 10.0.0.1/8
Want to limit the amount of addresses to suit your use case?
Never fear, I have created this powershell script to fix your indecision.
It prompts for an input of how many ip addresses that you need and then generates a random subnet to fullfil your needs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample Outputs:
Enter the required number of IP addresses for the subnet: 70
Name Value
---- -----
Starting IP 172.16.139.100
Ending IP 172.16.139.225
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.128
CIDR /25
Usable Addresses 126
Range Type Private
Enter the required number of IP addresses for the subnet: 300
Name Value
---- -----
Starting IP 10.33.149.50
Ending IP 10.33.151.47
Subnet Mask 255.255.254.0
CIDR /23
Usable Addresses 510
Range Type Private
Enter the required number of IP addresses for the subnet: 600
Name Value
---- -----
Starting IP 10.47.75.231
Ending IP 10.47.79.228
Subnet Mask 255.255.252.0
CIDR /22
Usable Addresses 1022
Range Type Private
Enter the required number of IP addresses for the subnet: 15000000 (yes that is 15 Million)
Name Value
---- -----
Starting IP 10.221.110.47
Ending IP 11.221.110.44
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
CIDR /8
Usable Addresses 16777214
Range Type Private
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current known issue is if you need more ip address than what private networking allows it will still give a valid range which will of course then not be within the private addressing range.
