Hi,

this is so called wild card mask. To make it as simple as possible, it is the opposite of the network mask.

Example:

if you want to deny this subnet: 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

you have to use this wild card mask: 0.0.0.255

The formula to calculate the wild card is:

255.255.255.255 - subnet mask = wild card mask

255.255.255.255 - 255.255.255.0 = 0.0.0.255

In subnet mask the 1 bit must match and 0 is ignored.

In wild card mask the 0 bit must match and 1 is ignored.
