IPv6 subnet calculator

IPv6 CIDR range for ff00::/8

Calculate the network address, final address, mask, and exact address capacity of any IPv6 CIDR prefix.

Example: 2606:4700::/32

Host bits are normalized to the network address before the range is calculated.

CIDR calculation

Network details for ff00::/8

The prefix identifies a network with 120 host bits. Every address from the first address through the last address belongs to this range.

CIDR prefix

ff00::/8

Network mask

ff00::

Prefix length

/8

Host bits

120

First address

ff00::

Last address

ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

Total addresses

1329227995784915872903807060280344576

Total addresses (human readable)

2^120 addresses (1,329,227,995,784,915,872,903,807,060,280,344,576; about 1.32 undecillion)

How this range is calculated

  1. 1The /8 prefix keeps the first 8 network bits fixed.
  2. 2Setting all 120 host bits to zero produces ff00::.
  3. 3Setting those host bits to one produces ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.

Network address

The normalized prefix base

CIDR notation describes a network, not a single host. If an address with host bits set is entered, this calculator normalizes it to the network base before calculating the range.

About this IPv6 prefix

IPv6 multicast range: ff00::/8

IPv6 multicast addresses identify groups of interfaces. Their scope and group ID determine where packets can be delivered.
