Objectives Part 1: Analyze Network Requirements  Part 2: Construct the VLSM Address Scheme Part 3: Configure and Cable the IPv4 Network Context / Scenario Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) was created to prevent IP address wastage. A network is subnetted and subsequently re-subnetted using VLSM. This procedure may be run numerous times to generate subnets of varying sizes depending on the desired number of hosts per subnet. Effective usage of VLSM involves planning of addresses. Use the network address 192.168.33.128.0/25 to construct an address scheme for the network seen in the topology diagram. VLSM is used to satisfy the IPv4 addressing specifications. After designing the VLSM address scheme, the interfaces on the routers will be configured with the proper IP address information. Addresses will need to be assigned to the future LANS at BR2, but no interfaces will be setup at this time. Note: Cisco 4221 routers running Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 are used in CCNA hands-on labs ...

  Objectives Part 1: Examine Network Requirements Part 2: Design the VLSM Address Scheme Part 3: Cable and Configure the IPv4 Network Context / Scenario The Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) was created to prevent IP addresses from being wasted. A network is subnetted and then re-subnetted using VLSM. This procedure may be done indefinitely to establish subnets of varying sizes depending on the number of hosts necessary in each subnet. Address planning is required for effective utilization of VLSM. In this lab, you will utilize the network address 192.168.33.128/25 to create an address scheme for the network seen in the topology diagram. VLSM is used to address IPv4 addresses. After you've created the VLSM address scheme, you'll configure the routers' interfaces with the necessary IP address information. Addresses will need to be assigned to the future LANS at BR2, but no interfaces will be setup at this time. Cisco 4221 routers running Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 are util...
