VLSM Subnetting

The document describes using VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) to design a network scheme that meets the addressing requirements of several locations using a single Class C IP address range. It shows calculating subnet masks to allocate different sized subnets to Perth (60 hosts), Kuala Lumpur (28 hosts), Sydney (12 hosts), Singapore (12 hosts), and 3 WAN links (2 addresses each). The resulting network scheme allocates the necessary addresses while minimizing wasted space compared to classful subnetting.

Variable Length
Subnetting
• VLSM allows us to use one class C address to design a
networking scheme to meet the following requirements:
• Perth 60 users
• Kuala Lumpur 28 users
• Sydney 12 users
• Singapore 12 users
• WAN links between each router

• Classful subnetting is very wasteful.


• In the example above, a /26 was used to provide the 60 addresses for
Perth and the other LANs. There are no addresses left for WAN links
• Forget everything you learned about classfull subnetting.
• Just remember you have 256 – 2 = 254 addresses to work with.
