SavaPage uses CIDR Notation for IP address restriction where needed.
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is developed in the 1990s as a standard scheme for routing network traffic across the Internet.
CIDR notation is a syntax for specifying IP addresses and their associated prefix size, the latter being equivalent to the number of leading 1 bits in the routing prefix mask. The notation starts with an IP address expressed according to the standards of IPv4 or IPv6[26]. It is followed by a separator character, the slash (/) character, and the prefix size expressed as a decimal number.
Some examples:
172.16.0.0/24
represents the given IPv4 address
and its associated routing prefix 172.16.0.0
, or
equivalently, its subnet mask 255.255.255.0
. This
represents the host address range 172.16.0.0
-
172.16.0.255
.
CIDR
192.168.1.40/32
represents the single IPv4
address 192.168.1.40
.
CIDR
2021:661:4cc6:1:5561:96ff:ca11:d4a/128
represents
the single IPv6 address
2021:661:4cc6:1:5561:96ff:ca11:d4a
.
CIDR
2021:661:4cc6:1:5561:96ff:ca11:d00/120
represents
a block size of 256
with First IP
2021:661:4cc6:1:5561:96ff:ca11:d00
and a Last
IP 2021:661:4cc6:1:5561:96ff:ca11:dff
.
For SavaPage use only we define a CIDR Set as a concatenation of single CIDR notations separated by any of the characters space, comma or semicolon.
