Classful vs. ClasslessSubnettingWhen you’re subnetting an IP address for a network you have twooptions: classful and classless. Classful subnetting is the simplest method.It tends to be the most wasteful because it uses more addresses than arenecessary. In classful subnetting you use the same subnet mask for eachsubnet, and all the subnets have the same number of addresses in them.Classless addressing allows you to use different subnet masks andcreate subnets tailored to the number of users in each group. This techniqueis referred to as VLSM, Variable Length Subnet Masks.What is VLSMVariable Length Subnet Masks allow you a much tighter control overyour addressing scheme. If you use a class C address with a default subnetmask you end up with one subnet containing 256 addresses. By using VLSMyou can adjust the number of subnets and number of addresses dependingon the specific needs of your network. The same rules apply to a class A orB addresses.VLSM is supported by the following protocols: RIP version 2, OSPF,EIGRP, Dual IS-IS, and BGP. You need to configure your router for VariableLength Subnet Masks by setting up one of these protocols. Then configurethe subnet masks of the various interfaces in the IP address interface subcommand.Benefits of VLSMAllows efficient use of address spaceAllows the use of multiple subnet mask lengthsBreaks up an address block into smaller custom blocksAllows for route summarizationProvides more flexibility in network designSupports hierarchical enterprise networksThis workbook explores three different methods to figure out sub-subnets:the box method, the circle method, and a VLSM chart.1

Classful SubnettingExampleWhen you’re subnetting an IP address for a network you have twooptions: classful and classless. Classful subnetting is the simplest method.It also tends to be the most wasteful because it uses more addresses thanare necessary. In classful subnetting you use the same subnet mask foreach subnet, and all the subnets have the same number of addresses inthem.In this example you need five subnets, each one containing 30 hosts.The serial connections only require two address each so you are wasting 28usable addresses in each of the serial subnet ranges.IP Address: 192.168.1.0Marketing25 HostsRecords12 HostsResearch30 HostsClassful Subnet 55.255.255.22432 Hosts8 Subnets2The Box Methodfor visualizing subnets0323164128639695160159192127191224223255

Classless SubnettingExampleClassless addressing allows you to use different subnet masksand create subnets tailored to the number of users in each subnetwork.There are fewer wasted IP addresses using smaller subnets.In this example you need at total of five subnets, two containing 30hosts, one containing 12 hosts, and two serial connections that only requiretwo usable addresses each.IP Address: 192.168.1.0Marketing25 HostsRecords12 HostsResearch30 HostsBy adjusting the subnet masks you can cut your address usage byalmost half in this example. This type of subnetting requires a networkprotocol which will support it such as: RIP version 2, EIGRP, OSPF, or BGP.The Box Methodfor visualizing subnetsClassless Subnet 63967980888318487951272553

Visualizing Subnets UsingThe Box MethodThe box method is a simple way to visualize the breakdown of subnetsand addresses into smaller sizes. By shading or coloring in the boxes youcan easily break up your subnets without overlapping your addresses. Youadjust each subnet to the correct size needed.Start with a square. The whole squareis a single subnet comprised of 256addresses./24255.255.255.0256 Hosts1 SubnetSplit the box in half and you get twosubnets with 128 addresses./25255.255.255.128128 Hosts2 SubnetsDivide the box into quarters and youget four subnets with 64 addresses./26255.255.255.19264 Hosts4 Subnets4

Split each individual square and youget eight subnets with 32 addresses./27255.255.255.22432 Hosts8 SubnetsSplit the boxes in half again and youget sixteen subnets with sixteenaddresses./28255.255.255.24016 Hosts16 SubnetsThe next split gives you thirty twosubnets with eight addresses./29255.255.255.2488 Hosts32 SubnetsThe last split gives sixty four subnetswith four addresses each./30255.255.255.2524 Hosts64 Subnets5

Visualizing Subnets UsingThe Circle MethodThe circle method is another method used to visualize the breakdownof subnets and addresses into smaller sizes. By shading or coloring in thedifferent sections of the circle you can easily break up your subnets withoutoverlapping your addresses.
