Abstract: In many organizations, dividing networks into sub-networks can be complex and time-consuming, requiring accuracy and precision. This makes it relevant that there is an increasing requirement for an automated system that can make the subnetting process faster and easier. Moreover, companies also receive multiple static IP addresses from an ISP when they register for web hosting, which again needs to be managed and stored in a database. This manual tracking frequently results in conflicts and inefficiencies, diverting precious time in the pursuit of free addresses. In this paper, we demonstrate an automated application implementation to facilitate subnetting to help engineers allocate IP addresses according to the number of hosts. We will thus create a solution where we will automate the subnet process and then provide a mechanism to store and manage allocated IPs more effectively, as well as reduce conflicts, leading to more optimized overall system management. This tool is built in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and C# software. The primary contribution is an intuitive and streamlined interface for performing subnetting calculations and allocating IP addresses.
