I've always used aggis for this:

tigger[~]$ aggis 161.241.51/24 - 81
 
The range of nets from 161.241.51 to 161.241.81/24 can be represented
by:
 
        161.241.51/24  (256 hosts: 161.241.51.0 - 161.241.51.255 )
        161.241.52/22  (1024 hosts: 161.241.52.0 - 161.241.55.255 )
        161.241.56/21  (2048 hosts: 161.241.56.0 - 161.241.63.255 )
        161.241.64/20  (4096 hosts: 161.241.64.0 - 161.241.79.255 )
        161.241.80/23  (512 hosts: 161.241.80.0 - 161.241.81.255 )

tigger[~]$

aggis has been around forever, and seems to do everything you'd want.

It's pretty standard perl, should run on your Red Hat systems with no
problem.
