The Daily App: Subnet Calculator For HP TouchPad

One of the most straightforward, yet neatest, apps for the WebOS platform that VARs and IT managers can pull out of the tool box is called, simply, “Subnet Calculator.”

Optimized for the TouchPad, as opposed to other, earlier apps that were optimized for either the Palm Pre or Palm Pixi, Subnet Calculator will do the work of calculating a series of configurations using IP address, netmask, subnet bits, and will calculate First Octet Range, Hex IP Address, Wildcard Mas, Host Address Range and more. It’s a free download from the HP App Catalog, and it’s an app that can be a time-saver for techies - in the right situation.

This is a small Network Subnet, CIDR and Wildcard Calculator. Based on the class, IP address, netmask, subnet bits, netmask bits, max subnets and/or hosts per subnet it can calculate the First Octet Range, Hex IP Address, Wildcard Mask, Host Address Range, Subnet ID, Broadcast Address and Subnet Bitmap.
