- HTML
- React
- Vite
-
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.
