  • Vite

Key Features

  • Branch and Department Configuration:

    • Input the number of branches.
    • Specify the department count for each branch.
    • Define the number of users in each department.
  • Automatic Network Calculation:

    • Calculate the related block size per department.
    • Determine the network address, first usable IP, last usable IP, broadcast address, and default gateway for each department.
    • Assign subnet masks with minimal IP wastage for each department.
  • Detailed Reporting:

    • Generate detailed reports displaying all calculated network parameters.
    • Provide IP configuration codes for each department.
    • Offer configuration scripts for routers and devices to facilitate easy setup.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: Streamlines the process of IP address allocation and network configuration, saving time and reducing errors.
  • Scalability: Easily manage network configurations for organizations with multiple branches and departments.
