Classful IP Addressing - CIDR


● CIDR stands for Classless Inter Domain Routing
● Every address has a default subnet mask based on its class
● CIDR is inefficient as it wastes addresses
○ If you have a subnet with 30 hosts and one with 2 hosts for WAN the WAN
subnet will be wasting 28 addresses that it doesnt need

Variable Length Subnet Masking - VLSM


● The purpose of VLSM is to make efficient use of IP addresses
○ You break a classful address into subnets with 30 hosts
○ The subnet for the WAN only needs 2 addresses so the other 28 in the subnet
are wasted
○ VLSM will take the subnet for the WAN and subnet it again
○ All the other subnets will remain untouched with 30 hosts

Routing Tables
● When the destination address is external the router checks its routing table for the best
route to the destination address
● If the destination is not in the routing table the router uses the default route

How Do Routers Find Out About Other Networks?


● Static Route
● Default Table
● Routing Protocol
● Redistribution of Routes

Redistribution of Routes
● If your routers are using OSPF and another network is using RIP you have to find a way
to share your routing information with the other network and vice versa
● Redistribution translates between the two protocols

Steps to VLSM
1. Identify the requirements of the network (How many hosts and how many subnets?)
○ Subnets should take into consideration the highest number of hosts first
2. Determine how many host bits are required for each subnet
○ Go from highest to lowest
3. Determine how many network bits each subnet will have
