1-13 INTRODUCTION TO VLSM Flashcards

1
Q

What is variable length subnet mask (VLSM)?

A

VLSM divides an IP network into subnetworks of different sizes for more efficient IP address allocation. It allows granular address allocation based on subnet needs, optimizing IP space usage.

Q

How does VLSM work in IP subnetting?

A

VLSM assigns different subnet masks to subnets, allowing variable host numbers in each. It involves dividing larger subnets into smaller ones, each with a unique mask. Careful planning is needed to prevent address conflicts and ensure proper allocation.

Q

Example 1 - Subnetting a 192.168.0.0/24 network

A

Scenario: You have a network with an IP range of 192.168.0.0/24. This network needs to be divided into three subnets - HR needs 50 hosts, Sales needs 30 hosts, and IT needs 10 hosts.

Q

Subnetting for 50 hosts

A

You need at least 6 bits for hosts (2^6 = 64, 64-2 = 62 usable addresses). The subnet mask will be /26. Subnet 1: 192.168.0.0/26.

Q

Subnetting for 30 hosts

A

5 bits are needed (2^5 = 32, 32-2 = 30 usable addresses). The subnet mask will be /27. Subnet 2: 192.168.0.64/27.

Q

Subnetting for 10 hosts

A

4 bits are sufficient (2^4 = 16, 16-2 = 14 usable addresses). The subnet mask will be /28. Subnet 3: 192.168.0.96/28.
