tool to display range of ipv6 addresses

vincix · 05-14-2018, 08:31 AM

Can you recommend any tools that simply displays a range of IPv6? Something like:

Code:

ipcalc 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.254 -r

I haven't been able to find any tools that does that. Neither subnetcalc, nor ipv6calc.

Any ideas? Thanks

A lot of Website provide this, such as http://www.gestioip.net/cgi-bin/subnet_calculator.cgi

No, I'm interesting in a linux tool that I can use afterwards in a script.

More versions for ipcalc exist. I think you referred to the Debian version, which I have on my system as well. It provides the -r option.

I found at least 2 other versions, both supporting ipv6. But one does not support the -r option.

This one does not have the -r option, but it seems it can give subnet ranges.

I'm not interested in simply displaying the start and the end of the ip range. I'm interested in a program that displays the entire range, all the ips in that range, so that I can create a list, which I can work with later in a script. The link you're pointing to seems to be the exact same version of ipcalc that exists on Centos. The funny thing is that with ipv6 only two options work (can't remember which ones, but they're quite useless), and -r doesn't exist either for ipv4 or for ipv6. So that doesn't really help

I'm having trouble installing the tool. There's no configure file and I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to use make or make install or whether I'm supposed to use it.
There are the files from the zip source code:

Quote:

COPYING ipcalc.1 ipcalc.c ipcalc-geoip.c ipcalc.h ipcalc-reverse.c ipcalc-tests Makefile netsplit.c NEWS README.md tests

(tests is a dir)

The only executable file is ipcalc-tests.

Have a look at the obvious "README.md"

And I obviously did. They don't explain anything regarding the installation. They're just offering examples on how to use it. It's silly. Anyway, I'm extremely sceptical. I'm really convinced that this isn't going to bring anything new to the versions that centos or debian come with
