该函数返回给定IP地址和子网掩码的IP地址列表

Question

I need help in writing a function in C/C++ that receives two parameters: IP address and subnetmask .

The function needs to reutrn a list of all IP addresses that are in the associated network.

For example: Given two parameters: IP address = 192.168.33.72 and mask = 255.255.255.192 the function will return a list that contain the IP's 192.168.33.65 to 192.168.33.126.

Answer 1

1) first you can transform the ipaddress and the subnetmask from string format to binary format with inet_pton() .

2) make a check on the subnetmask mask it should be a valid subnet mask

3) get the subnetmask inverse value ( ~subnetmask )

4)

for (i=1; i<(~subnetmask); i++) {

    ip = ipaddress & (subnetmask + i);

    //append ip to your ip list

}
