IP Addressing/Subnetting Simplified

This document discusses IP addressing, subnetting, and ensuring there are enough addresses allocated. It examines the addressing needs of 103 LANs requiring 127 addresses and 24 WANs. Subnets must use powers of 2 to scale to requirements. The total addresses needed are calculated as 152 for LANs and 24 for WANs, totaling 157 addresses. Routing protocols that support Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) are identified to allow efficient subnetting of the 192.168.20.0/24 network to meet the 13 subnetworks required, ranging from 4 to 32 nodes each.

Do we have enough addresses?


How many addresses have been
allocated?
How many are needed?

Address Allocation
Total Address Needed:
LANs = 14+10+19+23+6+17+14 = 103
WANs = 4+4+4+4+4+4 = 24
Total = 103 + 24 = 127

Understanding IP Requirements
Subnetworks on the LAN/WAN need to be
issued using perfect powers of 2
22 = 4
23 = 8
24 = 16
25 = 32
26 = 64
27 = 128

Scaling Subnets
With a requirement of 23 nodes
The next perfect power of 2 that meets
this need = 32
25 = 32 5 host bits needed
Last Octet is then represented as:
A.B.C.NNNHHHHH N=Network H=Host
11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000

Subnetting Examples
SubnetMask SubnetMask
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.252

8 (6)
4 (2)

Address Allocation
Total Addresses Needed:
LANs = 16+16+32+32+8+32+16 = 152
= /28 + /28 + /27 + /27 + /29 + /27 + /28 = 152

WANs = 4+4+4+4+4+4 = 24
= /30 + /30 + /30 + /30 + /30 + /30 = 24

Total = 103 + 52 = 157

VLSM and Routing Protocols


Does your routing protocol support varying
the length of the subnet mask from one
interface to another?
Can you re-subnet a subnet differently
from one interface to another and still
advertise that subnetwork via RIPv1,
RIPv2, OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, BGP?

Routing Protocols
Supporting VLSM
RIP version 2
EIGRP
OSPF
ISIS

Not Supporting VLSM


IGRP
RIP version 1

Problem!
The 192.168.20.0 /24 network gives us:
1 Network
254 Nodes Available for Assignment

13 Subnetworks Required
Network Demands range from 4 32
nodes per LAN / WAN segment
