    Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) : Samiul Haque Suman

    সামিউল সুমন
    VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) allows efficient use of IP addresses by allowing subnets of different sizes using variable length subnet masks. This provides more flexibility than standard subnetting which uses the same size subnets. The document provides an example of using VLSM to divide a 192.168.10.0/24 network into subnets of different sizes for departments with varying host requirements, including a /27, /27, /28 and /30 subnet.

    Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)

    Instructor, Cisco Networking Academy
    What is VLSM ?

     Variable Length Masking (VLSM) is a technique that allows


    network administrSubnetators to divide an IP address space into
    subnets of different sizes, unlike simple same-size Subnetting.

     Variable Length Subnet Masks allow you a much tighter control


    over your addressing scheme.
    Benefits of VLSM

     Allows efficient use of address space


     Allows the use of multiple subnet mask lengths
     Breaks up an address block into smaller custom blocks
     Allows for route summarization
     Provides more flexibility in network design
     Supports hierarchical enterprise networks
    Subnetting vs VLSM
    Subnetting VLSM
    Old-fashioned  Modern
    Subnets are equal in size Subnets are variable in size
    Subnets have an equal number of Subnets have a variable number of
    hosts hosts
    Supports both classful and classless Supports only classless routing
    routing protocols protocols
    Wastes more IP addresses Wastes fewer IP addresses 
    Subnets use the same subnet mask Subnets use different subnet masks
    Simple configuration and Complex configuration and
    administration administration
    Steps of VLSM

     Find the largest segment which need largest number of host address.
     Do Subnetting to fulfill the requirement of largest segment.
     Assign the appropriate subnet mask for the largest segment.
     For second largest segments, take one of these newly created subnets
    and use different subnet mask for this one.
     It will cover from the large number host first.
     Repeat this process until the last network.
    Example of VLSM

     You are setting up a small business network with the address 192.168.10.0/24.
     The marketing division will need 12 computers.
     Research and development needs 27 computers.
     The reception area will need 2 computers.
     Management requires 19 computers.
     Divide the network using variable length subnet masks (VLSM).
