How does IPv4 Subnetting Work?

I have a list of IP ranges I would like to ban, an example being:

119.30.47.xx

Where xx is anything.

I've added the domain and IP restrictions into IIS. When I click add deny entry, I see:

enter image description here

For my above example, what should I enter as the values?


IP Address Range: 119.30.47.0
Mask or Prefix: 255.255.255.0

Other examples:

Ban the lower half: 119.30.47.1 - 119.30.47.127

IP Address Range: 119.30.47.0
Mask or Prefix: 255.255.255.128

Ban the upper half: 119.30.47.128 - 119.30.47.254

IP Address Range: 119.30.47.128
Mask or Prefix: 255.255.255.128

In last two examples, the mask 255.255.255.128 is also known as a "/25", because 25 of the first 32 bits of the address are part of the network address, and the remaining 7 bits are used for host addresses.

Probably a good idea to read up on subnetting, if you need to have a thorough understanding.

Or use an online calculator. This one is fairly decent:
