Get-NetworkInfo

SYNOPSIS

Used to generate commonly used network information from a subnet

SYNTAX

Get-NetworkInfo [-IP] <String> [[-MaskBits] <Int32>] [[-GatewayAddress] <Object>] [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to generate commonly used network information from a subnet

This accepts pipeline input from Get-B1Subnet & Get-B1AddressBlock

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-NetworkInfo 10.10.10.0/24

IPAddress        : 10.10.10.0
MaskBits         : 24
NetworkAddress   : 10.10.10.0
BroadcastAddress : 10.10.10.255
SubnetMask       : 255.255.255.0
NetworkClass     : A
Range            : 10.10.10.0 ~ 10.10.10.255
HostAddresses    : {10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, 10.10.10.4…}
HostAddressCount : 254

EXAMPLE 2

Get-B1Subnet -Subnet 10.37.34.0 -CIDR 27 | Get-NetworkInfo

IPAddress        : 10.37.34.0
MaskBits         : 27
NetworkAddress   : 10.37.34.0
BroadcastAddress : 10.37.34.31
SubnetMask       : 255.255.255.224
NetworkClass     : A
Range            : 10.37.34.0 ~ 10.37.34.31
HostAddresses    : {10.37.34.1, 10.37.34.2, 10.37.34.3, 10.37.34.4…}
HostAddressCount : 30

EXAMPLE 3

Get-B1AddressBlock -Limit 1 | Get-NetworkInfo -GatewayAddress First

IPAddress        : 10.41.163.0
MaskBits         : 24
NetworkAddress   : 10.41.163.0
BroadcastAddress : 10.41.163.255
SubnetMask       : 255.255.255.0
NetworkClass     : A
Range            : 10.41.163.0 ~ 10.41.163.255
HostAddresses    : {10.41.163.1, 10.41.163.2, 10.41.163.3, 10.41.163.4…}
HostAddressCount : 254
Gateway          : 10.41.163.1

PARAMETERS

-IP

The network IP of the subnet

This parameter is also aliased to -Address

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: Address

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-MaskBits

The Mask Bits / CIDR of the subnet

This parameter is also aliased to -CIDR

Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: CIDR

Required: False
Position: 2
Default value: 0
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-GatewayAddress

When using the -GatewayAddress parameter, an optional Gateway value will be added to the results. Available options are First & Last.

Type: Object
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: 3
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Force

Subnets larger than a /16 will take a longer time to generate the list of host addresses. Using -Force will override this limit and generate them anyway.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
