Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are directed to generating Internet Protocol (IP) addresses using a mask that is applied to a plurality IP addresses to generate plural groups of IP addresses. A range of IP addresses is generated for each of the groups when the plurality of groups is less than or equal to a predetermined number of groups. When a range of IP addresses is selected from the plurality of ranges IP addresses, the network nodes associated with the selected range are displayed.
