It will then output the IP with the correct CIDR block and the IP range you will receive. Remember in AWS the first three addresses are reserved for the VPC router, DNS and future use and the final address is used as the broadcast address. Also, the amount of IP addresses that will be returned will be a close estimation of what you have requested so double check the range after entering the values. <em>ALSO, if you&rsquo;re testing this out for use with a VPC in AWS then remember that you only have between /16 (65,536 IP addresses) to /28 (16 IP addresses)!</em></p> <body> <label for="ipAddress">IP Address:</label> <input type="text" id="ipAddress" placeholder="Enter the IP address" value="10.0.0.0"> <label for="numAddresses">Number of IP Addresses:</label> <input type="number" id="numAddresses" placeholder="Enter the number of IP addresses" value="100"> <button onclick="calculateCIDR()">Calculate CIDR Block</button> <p id="result"></p> <p id="ipRange"></p> <script src="https://mikerossiter.tech/js/ip-vpc.js"></script> </body>
