Chapter 3 Subnetting Basicsl
Subnetting • Benefits • Reduce Network Traffic • Routers create Broadcast Domains • Optimal Performance • Simplified Management • Capable of spanning long distances • Subnets • Allow you to break large networks into smaller ones • Must take bits from the hostid part of the address • Always take from the left most hostid bits
First Things First • Determine the number of networks needed • One for each subnetwork • One for each WAN segment • Determine the number of hosts required • One for each TCP/IP host • One for each Router interface • Create the following • A subnet mask for the entire network • A subnet id for each network segment • A range of host ids for each subnet segment
Subnetting Class C Addresses • Class C address = 8 host bits • Subnetting = • 10000000 = 128 • 11000000 = 192 • 11100000 = 224 • 11110000 = 240 • 11111000 = 248 • 11111100 = 252 • 11111110 = 254 • Rules • Cannot have only 1 bit for subnetting • Subnets 128 & 254 are illegal • Cisco allows 1 bit to be used for subnetting • ip subnet-zero
The Alternate Method 1. How many subnets does the subnet mask produce? • 2x x=number of bits for subnet 2. How many valid hosts per subnet? 2y • y=number of bits for host ids 3. What are the valid subnets? • 256 – subnet = first subnetwork (block) • add the block to subnetwork • stop when subnet mask is reached 4. What is the broadcast address of each subnet? • Next subnetwork – 1 5. What are the valid hosts in each subnet? • First Host = Subnetwork + 1 • Last Host = Broadcast - 1
Subnetting Practice Examples • Class C • Page 108 • Class B • Page 114 • Class A • Page 120
Super Netting • Using Network / Subnet bits • Increase Number of hosts available
Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) • Previous examples have used 1 fixed length subnet mask for entire network • Example 192.168.10.0/28 • 255.255.255.240 • How many hosts on each subnet?
VLSM • Allows for a varying number of hosts on different subnet segments • Uses different size subnet masks for different subnet segments • Not Supported by RIP v1.0 or IGRP • Classful routing • RIP v2.0, OSPF, EIGRP support • Classless routing
Trouble Shooting • PING 127.0.0.1 (localhost) • TCP/IP stack intalled properly • PING host ip address • Communicating with you NIC • PING the gateway (ie the router) • Physical connectivity • PING Server ip address • Network path • PING Server FQDN • DNS is working
Things to Know • Calculating subnet mask, host addresses, broadcast address • Understand the various block sizes • VLSM • Four diagnostic steps • Find and Fixing IP address problems
