VLSM
• Variable-length subnet masks were developed to allow multiple levels of subnetted IP addresses within a single network
• The routing protocol you use must support VLSM– Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)– Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)– Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2)
• VLSM is crucial for an effective IP addressing plan
![Page 3: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

VLSMPrefix Length
• Prefix length is a shorthand way for expressing the subnet mask for a particular network– Number of 1s in the binary representation of
the subnet mask• When bits are taken from the host part of an
address and added to the network part, the number of the bits in the host part decreases
– You create additional subnets at the expense of the number of host devices on each network segment
![Page 4: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
VLSMPrefix Length
• Number of subnets can be calculated using the 2s formula, where s is the number of bits by which the default mask is extended
• In IOS releases prior to 12.0, you must explicitly allow subnet 0
• In IOS releases 12.0 and later, subnet 0 is enabled by default
• The all-1s subnet has always been allowed
![Page 5: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

VLSMPrefix Length
• Bits that are not part of the network or subnetwork portions of the address are the range of host address
• Use the 2h – 2 formula (where h is the number of host bits) to calculate available host addresses; all 0s in host portion is the subnet identifier address, all 1s in host portion is the subnet broadcast address
![Page 6: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Network Mask and IP Address for the Range 192.168.1.64 Through 192.168.1.79, with Host Bits Shaded
• In the IP network number that accompanies the network mask, the following are true:– When the host bits are all binary 0s, that address is the beginning of the address range
– When the host bits are all binary 1s, that address is at the end of the address range

VLSMPrefix Length
• In this example, PCs use the prefix length of 28 (the subnet mask 255.255.255.240) to determine which other devices on their local network have their first 28 bits in common– A 28-bit prefix length permits 14 hosts per subnet
• The PC uses ARP to find the corresponding destination MAC address if communication with any of these devices is necessary
• If the destination IP address is not in the range for the subnet, the packet is forwarded to the default gateway
![Page 10: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
VLSMPrefix Length
• A router works in a similar manner when it makes a routing decision– It compares the destination IP address of the packet to
network entries in the routing table– The network entries have a prefix length associated
with them– The router uses the prefix length to determine how
many destination bits must match to send the packet out the corresponding outbound interface that is associated with the network number in the routing table
![Page 11: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

VLSMPrefix Length
• The router determines from the table where to send the packet destined for 192.168.1.67– In this table, there are four entries for network 192.168.1.0– The third entry is for the 192.168.1.64 subnet, which is the subnet
to which 192.168.1.67 belongs– Note that the next subnet, 192.168.1.80, begins with a number
larger than 192.168.1.67

VLSMBenefits of VLSM
• More efficient use of IP addresses– Without use of VLSM, a single subnet mask must be
implemented with an entire Class A, B, or C network
• Greater capacity to use router summarization (discussed later in this chapter)– Allows more hierarchical levels within an addressing
plan
• Isolation of topology changes from other routers

VLSMVLSM Calculations
• VLSM is used to maximize number of possible IP addresses available for a network– Point-to-point serial links require only two host
addresses, so a /30 subnet does not waste scarce subnet addresses
• With VLSM, you can subnet a subnet!• Next slide will show how the subnet
172.16.32.0/20 is further subnetted with a /26 prefix

VLSMCIDR and Route Summarization
• The definition of classless inter-domain routing (CIDR):– Allocation of one or more blocks of Class C network numbers to
each network service provider– Organizations using the network service provider for Internet
connectivity are allocated bitmask-oriented subsets of the provider’s address space as required
• CIDR (“cider”) was developed to address the problem of IP address space running out and core Internet routers running out of capacity
• Route summarization is the representation by a single network of a group of contiguous networks
![Page 18: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

VLSMCIDR and Route Summarization
Route Summarization of Contiguous Subnets of a Class B Network (continued)
• Router D in previous slide has these networks in its routing table– 172.16.12.0/24– 172.16.13.0/24– 172.16.14.0/24– 172.16.15.0/24
• To calculate the summary route:– Find the number of highest-order bits that match in all addresses– Locate where the common pattern of digits ends– Count the number of common bits; this is the length of the
summary route
![Page 20: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

VLSMCIDR and Route Summarization
Route Summarization of Contiguous Subnets of a Class B Network (continued)
• Follow these guidelines when calculating summary routes:– Addresses that do not share the same number of bits as the prefix
length of the summary route are not included in the summarization block
– The IP addressing plan is hierarchical in nature to allow router to aggregate the largest number of IP addresses into a single summary route
– IP networks can only be summarized in 2n networks (for some n), where the last octet of the first network in the sequence is divisible by 2n
![Page 21: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
VLSMRoute Aggregation
• By using a prefix length instead of an address class to determine the network portion of the address, CIDR allows routers to aggregate routing information– Shrinks routing table– One address and mask combination can represent the routes to
multiple networks
• Route aggregation is used more loosely than CIDR; describes the summarization of classful networks
• Without CIDR, routers must maintain tables for individual networks
![Page 22: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

VLSMRoute Aggregation
• In previous slide, the router can summarize routes to these networks using a 13-bit prefix which these 8 networks share– 10101100 00011000 00000000 00000000 = 172.24.0.0– 11111111 11111000 00000000 00000000 = 255.248.0.0
• A single address and mask define a classless prefix that summarizes routes to the eight networks: 172.24.0.0/13
![Page 25: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
VLSMRoute Aggregation
• Using a prefix to summarize routes results in the following:– More efficient routing– A reduced number of CPU cycles when calculating
a routing table or sorting through routing table entries to find a match
– Reduced router memory requirements

www.ciscopress.com
VLSMSupernetting
• The practice of using a summary network to group multiple classful networks into a single address is called supernetting– Subnetting breaks down a classful network– Supernetting pastes together classful networks
• With Class A and B address space almost exhausted, large organizations requested multiple Class C network addresses from their service providers
• A block of contiguous Class C addresses can appear as a single large network, or supernet
![Page 27: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
VLSMSupernetting
• Supernetting and route aggregation are similar– Route aggregation is used in the context of
summarizing routes with BGP– Supernetting is a term used when the summarized
networks are under common administrative control
• Many networking professionals use the terms “route summarization” and “route aggregation” interchangeably
![Page 28: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Classful and Classless Routing
• Behavior of classful routing is limited compared to classless routing– Classful routing protocols(RIPv1, IGRP) cannot do
VLSM• Make routing decisions and send routing updates
according to Class A, B, and C constructs
– Classless routing protocols work independently of Class A, B, and C addresses
• In the “real world,” classful routing protocols are close to becoming irrelevant
![Page 30: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• RIPv1 and IGRP are the two classful routing protocols– Rare to see either of these employed on a router today– Classful routing protocols do not include subnet mask
information in their updates
• The router applies two options when receiving a routing update packet– If the routing update information contains the same major
network number as configured on the receiving interface, the router applies the subnet mask that is configured on that interface
– If the routing update information contains a different major network than the one configured on the the receiving interface, the router applies the default subnet mask
![Page 31: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• The router applies two options when receiving a routing update packet (continued)– The default classful masks are:
• Class A: 255.0.0.0• Class B: 255.255.0.0• Class C: 255.255.255.0
• All subnets of the same major network (Classes A, B, and C) must use the same mask when using a classful routing protocol
![Page 32: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• Routers running a classful routing protocol perform automatic route summarization across network boundaries– They make assumptions about networks based on their IP
address class– These assumptions lead to automatic summarization of
routes when routers send routing updates across major classful network boundaries
• Routers send update packets to other connected routers– Routers sends entire subnet address (without mask); assume
the network and the interface use the same subnet mask
![Page 33: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• Router receiving the update makes the same assumption– If different masks are used, router would have wrong
information in routing table– Important to use the same subnet mask on all interfaces that
belong to the same classful network
• When a router using a classful protocol sends an update regarding information of a subnet of a classful network across an interface belonging to a different classful network, the router assumes the remote router will use the default subnet mask for that IP address class

Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• The process in the previous slide is automatic summarization across the network boundary– Router sends a summary of all the subnets by
sending only major network information– Classful routing protocols automatically create a
classful summary route at major network boundaries
– Classful routing protocols do not allow summarization at other points within the major network space
![Page 36: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing
• The router that receives the updates behaves in a similar fashion– When a routing update contains information about a
different classful network than the one that is in use on its interface, the router applies the default classful mask to that update
• When using classful routing protocols, assigning the same subnet mask to all subnets is called fixed-length subnet masking (FLSM) – sometimes called static-length subnet masking
![Page 37: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Classful and Classless RoutingDiscontiguous Subnets
• A classical problem with classful routing protocols:– Discontiguous subnets occur when a major network
separates subnets of a major network– This can cause erroneous entries in routing tables– Traffic will not always reach its destination
• Do not permit the use of discontiguous networks when using a classful routing protocol
![Page 38: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Classful and Classless RoutingDefault Routes
• Routers learn paths to destinations in three ways:– The system administrator defines static routes via
an attached interface or the next hop to a destination
– The network engineer manually defines default routes as the path to take when no known route exists to the destination; default routes minimize the size of the routing table
– Dynamic routing occurs when the router learns of paths to destinations by receiving routing updates from other routers via a routing protocol

Classful and Classless RoutingClassful Routing Table
• What does a router running a classful routing protocol do with packets that lie in subnets that have no entry in the routing table?– The router discards the packets!
• This can be overcome by using the ip classless command– Causes the router using a classful routing protocol to
evaluate all packets using the longest-match criterion– As a last resort, the router uses a configured default
route
![Page 44: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

• All routing protocols except RIPv1 and IGRP are classless routing protocols
• RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and BGPv4 are classless routing protocols that support VLSM and CIDR
• With classless routing protocols, different subnets in the same major network can have different subnet masks– Maximizes use of addresses

Classful and Classless RoutingClassless Routing
• Classful routing protocols automatically summarize to the classful network boundary; classless routing protocols allow you to control the route summarization process manually (might be needed to limit size of routing tables)
• Classless routing protocols do not automatically advertise every subnet
• By default, classless routing protocols perform automatic network summarization at classful boundaries, just like classful protocols

• Difference between classless routing protocols and their predecessors is that you can manually turn off automatic summarization– Use the no auto-summary command– Not needed with OSPF or IS-IS
• Automatic summarization can cause problems in networks with discontiguous subnets– This can be fixed by turning off automatic
summarization

RIP Version 2
• RIP Version 1 characteristics– Uses hop count as the metric for path selection– Maximum allowable hop count is 15, so infinite
distance equals 16 hops– Uses hold-down timers to prevent routing loops with a
default of 180 seconds– Employs split horizon to prevent routing loops– Failure to receive routing updates in a timely manner
results in removal of routes previously learned from a neighbor

RIP Version 2
• RIP Version 1 characteristics (continued)– The administrative distance is 120– Routing updates are broadcast every 30
seconds by default– Is capable of load-balancing over as many as
six equal-cost paths; four is the default– Does not support authentication– Does not support VLSM because it is a
classful routing protocol

RIP Version 2
• RIP Version 2 characteristics (continued)– The administrative distance is 120– Routing updates are multicast every 30 seconds by
default– Is capable of load-balancing over as many as six
equal-cost paths; four is the default– Supports clear text and Message Digest 5 (MD5)
authentication– Supports VLSM because it is a classless routing
protocol– Supports manual route summarization

RIP Version 2
• Major improvements with RIPv2:– Support of authentication
• Clear text is the default• MD5 used to encrypt enable secret passwords
– VLSM use– Sending subnet masks in updates– Multicasting routing updates
• Uses 224.0.0.9 as destination• Keeps PCs and servers from having to process the
broadcast

RIP Version 2
– Multicasting routing updates (continued)• Keeps PCs and servers from having to process the
broadcast (continued)– IP sends the packet to the User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) and UDP checks whether RIP port 520 is available; most PCs and servers do not have a process running on this port and discard the packet
– Sometimes it is running as a gateway discovery technique in TCP/IP services, such as UNIX or Windows

RIP Version 2
• Broadcast disadvantages of RIPv1– RIPv1 can fit up to 25 networks/subnets in
each update; updates are sent every 30 seconds
• If the routing table has 1000 subnets, 40 packets will be sent every 30 seconds
• Each of these broadcasts will have to be looked at by all devices on the network
![Page 58: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

RIP Version 2
• Multicast advantages of RIPv2– The IP multicast address for RIPv2 has its own MAC
address: 0x0100.5e00.0009– Devices such as PCs and servers read this MAC
address and determine it is not for them; they discard the frame
– If a device can’t distinguish this MAC address, the packet will be discarded at the IP layer (OSI network layer) as the multicast IP address is not the IP address of the device

RIPv2 Configuration
• The router rip command starts a RIP routing process; the network command causes the implementation of these three functions:– Routing updates are multicast out an interface– Routing updates are processed if they enter
that same interface– The subnet that is directly connected to that
interface is advertised

Summary
• Classless IP addressing is implemented with:– VLSM: the ability to subnet a subnet and use different
subnet masks in the same classful network– CIDR: the allocation of blocks of contiguous address
space to customers by ISPs– Route summarization: a generic term that describes
the use of a single network to represent a sequence of logically contiguous networks
– Route aggregation: a generalized form of supernetting– Supernetting: pasting together classful networks into
supernets

Summary
• Classful routing protocols:– RIPv1– IGRP
• Classless routing protocols:– RIPv2– EIGRP– OSPF– IS-IS– BGPv4
![Page 72: IT321 Unit 1 PowerPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545581b3b1af9f26548b47bd/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Summary
• RIPv2, EIGRP, and BGPv4 can turn automatic route summarization on and off
• RIPv2 is an improvement to RIPv1– Adds authentication, VLSM support, passing of subnet
masks in routing updates, and multicasting of routing updates
• Configuring RIPv2 requires adding the version 2 command; adding no auto-summary is recommended
• All connected networks participating in RIP are defined with the network command in the form of classful networks
