What Can the IP CIDR Merger Do?

The IP CIDR Merger is a free online network tool that intelligently merges multiple CIDR blocks into larger supernets, automatically deduplicates overlapping blocks, and optimizes routing table entries. Ideal for network engineers performing route aggregation, firewall rule optimization, and IP address planning. All calculations run locally in your browserβ€”no data is ever uploaded to a server.

Core Features

How to Use

1. Enter CIDR notation in the input box, e.g., 192.168.0.0/24, one per line.

2. Click "Merge" or use Ctrl+Enter.

3. View merge results and statistics.

4. Click "Copy Results" or download as CSV.

Use Cases

Route Aggregation

Network engineers need to aggregate smaller blocks into larger supernets in BGP/OSPF configurations to reduce routing table entries.

Firewall Rule Optimization

Security operators merge multiple CIDR rules into fewer supernet rules for improved firewall matching efficiency.

Cloud VPC Planning

When configuring VPCs in AWS/Azure, verify whether multiple subnets can be aggregated into a larger address block.

Technical Background

CIDR merging (route aggregation/supernetting) is a fundamental network engineering operation. The core principle: when multiple contiguous CIDR blocks belong to the same larger supernet, a single supernet route can replace multiple subnet routes. For example, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 can merge into 192.168.0.0/23. Merge conditions: blocks must be contiguous, have the same prefix length, and align on supernet boundaries. RFC 4632 defines CIDR specifications, and route aggregation is one of CIDR's core values.

❓ FAQ

What is CIDR merging?

CIDR merging combines multiple contiguous CIDR blocks into a larger supernet, reducing routing table entries.

Does it support IPv6?

Currently only IPv4 is supported. IPv6 support is planned for a future release.

How does merging work?

The tool converts CIDRs to IP ranges, sorts and deduplicates, merges adjacent ranges, then converts back to CIDR notation.

Is data uploaded to a server?

No. All calculations run locally in your browser.

Can I input multiple CIDRs?

Yes. Enter one CIDR per line and the tool automatically deduplicates and merges.

Can I expand merged results?

The tool shows both before and after CIDR lists for easy comparison.
