Calculation Application for Subnetting IPv4 Address on Android

Abstract

Calculation of subnetting IP Address manually is quite time consuming and difficult for people who are just learning. With current smartphone technology, especially those using the Android operating system. There are many things that can be done with smartphones nowadays, including studying subnetting IP address calculations. The purpose of this study is to design and build a mobile application to facilitate the study of subnetting IP Address calculations with the Android operating system. The research method used is a waterfall with stages of requirements, design, implementation, and testing. This research resulted in a mobile application for calculating IP Address subnetting that will facilitate studying and accelerating the calculation of IP Address subnetting. This application is able to search for subnet masks, number of subnets, number of hosts per subnet, IP broadcast, IP range, network ID, and there is a theoretical explanation of the IP Address, prefix, and range of each class of IP Address. The results of the study are indicated by the level of eligibility of this application based on a questionnaire from users with results, 41% strongly agree, 44% agree, 13% neutral, and 2% disagree.
