ip6calc

IPv6 version of "ipcalc" program. It is useful for doing countings of IPv6 addresses, subnets, available addresses, subnets slices, etc..

Dependencies

  • Python ipaddr module

Examples

Information about a single IPv6 address

# ./ip6calc.py 2001:0000:0000:0000:0202:c2ff:fe1e:1918
Address:
  (Compressed)  2001::202:c2ff:fe1e:1918
    (Exploded)  2001:0000:0000:0000:0202:c2ff:fe1e:1918
      (Binary)  0010000000000001:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000001000000010:1100001011111111:1111111000011110:0001100100011000

Address type is: global unicast

This address might have been autogenerated by an host with MAC address: 00:02:c2:1e:19:18

Example information about an IPv6 /50 prefix:

# ./ip6calc.py 2001:0000:fedc:8000::/50
