CIDR
Classless Inter-Domain Routing
IP netmasks and CIDR are notations for grouping a number of IP
addresses into an address space. Thus a range of contiguous
addresses is treated as a network.
The CIDR method reduces, for example the routing tables stored in
routers by means of a postfix in the IP address. This postfix can be
used to designate a network together with its subnetworks. This
method is described in RFC 1518.
In order to specify a range of IP addresses to the SINAUT MD741-1, or
when configuring the firewall, it may be necessary to specify the
address space in the CIDR notation. The following table shows the IP
netmask on the left-hand side, and to the far right the corresponding
CIDR notation.
