This document discusses mastering IP subnetting skills and their importance. It outlines an agenda for the presentation, including setting the stage on why subnetting mastery is important, key elements for successful subnetting, and extending knowledge to variable length subnet masking and CIDR. The presentation will focus on finding the answer within the IP address itself and recognizing the class of the address as the first critical element. Practice will be encouraged to master the skills forever.

Agenda Setting the stage Why the mastery of IP Subnetting skills is so important in the real world What we know…or think we know, can be a factor in our mastery 1 Key elements in successful execution of the subnetting procedure No math required, start with the ‘Answer’ Use the answer to execute the subnetting procedure Implementing the classful subnetting procedure using the Reverse Engineering any IP Addressing scheme The magic of application in the real world Extending our IP Subnetting knowledge into Classless schemes—VLSM and CIDR Variable Length Subnet Masking Classless Inter-Domain Routing (Address Summarization, Supernetting, IP Address Aggregation) BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 3 What You Will Need to Be Successful Pen or pencil and multiple sheets of paper An open mind…. If you have failed to master IP subnetting before, it’s ok…. If you are already a ‘Master Subnetter Guy’, this session may not be for you…or you just may learn a shortcut you haven’t used before Seek to understand the ‘Keys’ and you will be rewarded with a skill that will serve you everyday Be willing to practice on your own…if you don’t use it, you WILL lose it Fill out your session evaluation BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

The Question of the Day… Why are IP Subnetting skills so important in the real world? It is what makes it relevant to you and your situation that makes it important… BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 5 Responses—In the Form of Questions How many of you attending today, use IP as the primary protocol in your production network? So it is Relevant? How many of you have ever had to troubleshoot an IP-related issue in a network? More Relevance? How many of you currently work in an environment where someone else designed the IP addressing scheme? Still Relevant How many of you have had a previous opportunity to learn IP Subnetting….and it just didn’t quite stick? Big Aha Relevance! How many of you are already quite successful at mental IP Subnetting? You may want to leave now… I wouldn’t want to ruin it for you. The key to mastering IP Subnetting forever is to BEGIN with “The Answer”… BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 6 © 2006, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 3 Presentation_ID.scr
Finding the Answer… The answer has always been directly in front of your face…every time you look at an IP address it is there… You simply may not have recognized it Everyone already has the answer if they deal with IP The RFCs use mathematics to explain it—RFC 950 and 1123 IP networks rely on it to route packets—implemented correctly, of course You are here to be able to recognize it, understand it, use it, apply it, reverse it, tweak it and master it…f o r e v e r ! …And you cant get ‘it’ on The answer is based on the IP Address itself You have all seen an IP address…so where am I trying to take you with all of this?

How The Line Will Lead Us to 2 the Answer In a Class address, every number to the ‘left’ of the line is static Class Addresses, left in their classful state, yield exactly ‘1’ subnet Every number right of the line is ours to use…for what? To make more subnets, implement services, expand, etc. All bits in the address to the ‘Left” of the line are set to a binary 1 This identifies the 1 Network portion of the address and you are left with 2 Host portion of the address (set to ‘0s’ by default) The network portion of the address is ‘MASKED’ with ‘1s’ BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Great Job! You Have Passed Level 1! You have just learned the entire classful subnetting process using no math Everything else from here on out, uses these exact techniques, tools and processes Level 2—Classless Subnetting (VLSM) Level 3 —Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) Supernetting, Address Aggregation, Summary Addressing BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Subnetting (Classless) VLSM Variable Length Subnet Masking Allows for more efficient use of IP space Less waste on smaller subnets where fewer addresses are necessary Used frequently if public address are used internally or unplanned growth needs to be accommodated inside of a site Defined first in RFP 1009 then ratified as the latest RFC 1878 BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 55 Understanding VLSM Instead of creating a single subnet mask to accommodate your total IP Subnet number (working from the left) Identify a subnet mask for each subnet individually (work from the right side) Move the line as far to the right as you can, while leaving just enough room for the Hosts on that subnet Use the bottom row of the Magic Box to complete this task Use the Magic Box separately for each physical subnet BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Applying VLSM to a Network Design Rules: Identify all of the subnets within your operational area and determine their approximate size (Host Population) VLSM must be implemented on a standard Binary Block Size: 2, 4, 8,16, 32, and so on All Routers and Multi-Layer Switches must be running a routing protocol capable of exchanging Subnet Mask information within their route update packets Classless Routing protocols, like EIGRP, OSPF and RIP2 When Implementing VLSM, allocate Subnet IDs to the largest networks first, then work your way down to the smallest networks BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

  • 3. The Question of the Day… Why are IP Subnetting skills so important in the real world? It is what makes it relevant to you and your situation that makes it important… BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 5 Responses—In the Form of Questions How many of you attending today, use IP as the primary protocol in your production network? So it is Relevant? How many of you have ever had to troubleshoot an IP-related issue in a network? More Relevance? How many of you currently work in an environment where someone else designed the IP addressing scheme? Still Relevant How many of you have had a previous opportunity to learn IP Subnetting….and it just didn’t quite stick? Big Aha Relevance! How many of you are already quite successful at mental IP Subnetting? You may want to leave now… I wouldn’t want to ruin it for you. The key to mastering IP Subnetting forever is to BEGIN with “The Answer”… BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 6 © 2006, Cisco Systems, Inc.

  • 4. Finding the Answer… The answer has always been directly in front of your face…every time you look at an IP address it is there… You simply may not have recognized it Everyone already has the answer if they deal with IP The RFCs use mathematics to explain it—RFC 950 and 1123 IP networks rely on it to route packets—implemented correctly, of course You are here to be able to recognize it, understand it, use it, apply it, reverse it, tweak it and master it…f o r e v e r ! …And you cant get ‘it’ on The answer is based on the IP Address itself You have all seen an IP address…so where am I trying to take you with all of this?

How The Line Will Lead Us to 2 the Answer In a Class address, every number to the ‘left’ of the line is static Class Addresses, left in their classful state, yield exactly ‘1’ subnet Every number right of the line is ours to use…for what? To make more subnets, implement services, expand, etc. All bits in the address to the ‘Left” of the line are set to a binary 1 This identifies the 1 Network portion of the address and you are left with 2 Host portion of the address (set to ‘0s’ by default) The network portion of the address is ‘MASKED’ with ‘1s’ BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Subnetting (Classless) VLSM Variable Length Subnet Masking Allows for more efficient use of IP space Less waste on smaller subnets where fewer addresses are necessary Used frequently if public address are used internally or unplanned growth needs to be accommodated inside of a site Defined first in RFP 1009 then ratified as the latest RFC 1878 BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Applying VLSM to a Network Design Rules: Identify all of the subnets within your operational area and determine their approximate size (Host Population) VLSM must be implemented on a standard Binary Block Size: 2, 4, 8,16, 32, and so on All Routers and Multi-Layer Switches must be running a routing protocol capable of exchanging Subnet Mask information within their route update packets Classless Routing protocols, like EIGRP, OSPF and RIP2 When Implementing VLSM, allocate Subnet IDs to the largest networks first, then work your way down to the smallest networks BRKCRT-1102 14364_04_2008_c1 © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.
