Variable-Length Subnet Masks
●
Until now, we have practiced subnetting used FLSM (Fixed-Length
Subnet Masks).
●
This means that all of the subnets use the same prefix length (ie.
subnetting a class C network into 4 subnets using /26).
●
VLSM (Variable-Length Subnet Masks) is the process of creating
subnets of different sizes, to make your use of network addresses
more efficient.
●
VLSM is more complicated than FLSM, but it’s easy if you follow the
steps correctly.

VLSM - Steps
1) Assign the largest subnet at the start of the address space.
2) Assign the second-largest subnet after it.
3) Repeat the process until all subnets have been assigned.
