11.10.2 Lab - Design and Implement A VLSM Addressing Scheme 1
Topology
Objectives
Part 1: Examine Network Requirements
Part 2: Design the VLSM Address Scheme
Part 3: Cable and Configure the IPv4 Network
Background / Scenario
Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) was designed to avoid wasting IP addresses. With VLSM, a network is
subnetted and then re-subnetted. This process can be repeated multiple times to create subnets of various
sizes based on the number of hosts required in each subnet. Effective use of VLSM requires address
planning.
In this lab, use the 192.168.33.128/25 network address to develop an address scheme for the network
displayed in the topology diagram. VLSM is used to meet the IPv4 addressing requirements. After you have
designed the VLSM address scheme, you will configure the interfaces on the routers with the appropriate IP
address information. The future LANS at BR2 will need to have addresses allocated, but no interfaces will be
configured at this time.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)
(lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model
and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in
the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Required Resources
2 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
1 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Instructions
Part 1: Examine Network Requirements
In Part 1, you will examine the network requirements to develop a VLSM address scheme for the network
displayed in the topology diagram using the 192.168.33.128/25 network address.
Note: You can use the Windows Calculator application and search the internet for an IP subnet calculator to
help with your calculations.
Step 1: Determine how many host addresses and subnets are available.
Questions:
What is the total number of host addresses needed in the topology diagram?

8. Step 5: Test Connectivity.
1. From BR1, ping BR2’s G0/0/0 interface.
2. From BR2, ping BR1’s G0/0/0 interface.
3. Troubleshoot connectivity issues if pings were not successful

Reflection Question
Can you think of a shortcut for calculating the network addresses of consecutive /30 subnets?
may vary. A /30 network has 4 address spaces: the network address, 2 host addresses, and a broadcast address.
Another technique for obtaining the next /30 network address would be to take the network address of the
previous /30 network and add 4 to the last octet.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one
