Ethio Intranet is a specialized desktop application designed for network administrators and technical staff within Ethio telecom. It serves as a dual-purpose tool to centralize internal network IP address information and provide an accurate IP subnetting calculator.
Ethio telecom Network Engineers, IT Administrators, and Technical Staff.
To provide a single, reliable source for site IP information and automate subnetting calculations.
The application is structured around two main tabs, each addressing critical aspects of network management:
This feature provides a single source of truth for the IP configurations of various Ethio telecom sites.
- Search Capability: Allows quick searching by keywords (e.g., site name).
- Centralized Data: Displays comprehensive details in a table format:
Site_Name(e.g.,Olympia shop,AAU shop)LAN_address(e.g.,172.22.100.0/24)WAN_address(e.g.,10.131.143.244 & 10.131.204.20)Connection_type(e.g.,Direct Fiber,BGP Both from legehar)
A robust utility that automates complex subnetting calculations to reduce human error and speed up network planning.
- Input: Requires an IP Address and Subnet mask (in CIDR notation, e.g.,
/24). - Calculated Output: Provides instant results for essential networking parameters:
- Network Address
- Broadcast Address
- Usable Host Range
- Subnet Mask (Dotted-decimal format)
- Total Host No (Total addresses)
- Usable Host (Total usable addresses)
- Default Gateway
- Wildcard Mask
- IP Class (A, B, or C)
- IP Type (Private or Public)
- Binary Subnet Mask
Based on the traditional Windows desktop interface, the application is likely built using one of the following technologies:
- Programming Language: C#
- Framework: .NET Framework (using Windows Forms )
- Database: SQL Server instance for storing the Ethio telecom site IP records.
(Since this appears to be an internal desktop application, these instructions are conceptual.)
- Download the latest installer package (e.g.,
EthioIntranet_v1.0.0.0.exe). - Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
- The application requires Local Database Access to function correctly. Ensure your machine has the necessary privileges to connect to the internal IP database.
- Search: Navigate to the Search IP Address tab, enter a keyword (e.g.,
Harar), and press enter to retrieve the corresponding site IP details. - Calculate: Navigate to the IP Calculator tab, input an IP address (e.g.,
192.168.10.30) and the CIDR mask (e.g.,/27), and click Calculate to see the full subnet breakdown.
| Version | Date | Changes |
