Random IP Generator

Generate valid random IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) in different types and scopes for testing and development

How to Use the Random IP Generator

1. Set Parameters: Choose the number of addresses (1-100), IP version, and address type

2. Generate: Click the generate button to create random IP addresses

3. Copy Addresses: Click the copy button next to any address or use "Copy All" for multiple addresses

4. Use Addresses: Use the generated addresses for testing, development, or network configuration

IPv4 Address Types

Random: Completely random IPv4 address

Private: RFC 1918 private addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16)

Public: Publicly routable addresses (excluding private ranges)

Loopback: 127.0.0.0/8 range for local testing

Multicast: 224.0.0.0/4 range for multicast traffic

Link-Local: 169.254.0.0/16 for automatic IP assignment

Class A: 1.0.0.0 - 126.255.255.255

Class B: 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255

Class C: 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255

IPv6 Address Types

Random: Completely random IPv6 address

Private: Unique Local Addresses (fc00::/7)

Link-Local: fe80::/10 for local network communication

Multicast: ff00::/8 for multicast traffic

Loopback: ::1 for local testing

Unspecified: :: for uninitialized addresses

Address Scopes

Global: Routable on the public internet

Private: Used within private networks (not routable on internet)

Link-Local: Valid only on the local network segment

Multicast: Used for one-to-many communication

Local: Loopback addresses for local testing

Common Use Cases

Network Testing: Generate test IP addresses for network simulations

Development: Create IP addresses for software development and testing

Security Testing: Use in penetration testing and security assessments

Load Testing: Generate multiple IPs for load balancing tests

Configuration: Create IP addresses for network device configuration

Documentation: Generate example IPs for technical documentation

IP Address Structure

IPv4: 32-bit address represented as four decimal numbers (0-255) separated by dots

IPv6: 128-bit address represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons

Network Classes: IPv4 addresses are divided into classes A, B, C, D, and E based on the first octet

Subnetting: IP addresses can be divided into network and host portions using subnet masks
