Is an IP inside a CIDR block?

Yes — 10.0.42.7 is inside 10.0.0.0/16.

Do two CIDR blocks overlap?

Overlap — 10.0.128.0/20 sits inside 10.0.0.0/16 (10.0.128.0 – 10.0.143.255).

CIDR blocks never partly overlap: one is inside the other, or they don't touch at all. Overlapping VPCs can't be peered.

Frequently asked

What is the subnet mask for /7?

254.0.0.0. The first 7 bits are network bits and the remaining 25 are host bits; the wildcard (inverse) mask is 1.255.255.255.

How many IP addresses are in a /7?

33,554,432 in total. 33,554,430 of them can be assigned to hosts, because the first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address.
