Routing Tables
● When the destination address is external the router checks its routing table for the best
route to the destination address

● 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
