Administrator Console Tips and Shortcuts > Calculate IP Ranges:

The Calculator button displays on windows in which IP ranges are entered. These windows include: Block Page Route Table window from the System section, and Range to Detect and Members windows from the Policy section.

This window is used to view and/or calculate the minimum and maximum range for an IP address.

1. Click Calculator to open the IP Calculator pop-up window.

• If the IP address field in the window on the console is already populated, note the IP Calculator pop-up window displays the IP address, default Netmask in both the Dotted Decimals Notation (e.g. “255.255.255.248”) and CIDR Notation (e.g. “29”) format, Min Host, and Max Host IP addresses.

• If the IP address field in the window on the console is empty, in this pop-up window enter the IP address, specify the Dotted Decimals Notation Netmask, and then click Calculate to display the Min Host and Max Host IP addresses.

TIP: If necessary, make a different IP address entry and Netmask selection, and then click Calculate to display different Min Host and Max Host results.

2. After making a note of the information in this pop-up window, click Close to close the IP Calculator.
