Study Notes
CIDR Overview
- CIDR stands for Classless Inter Domain Routing.
- CIDR notation is an alternative representation for subnet masks.
- It simplifies subnetting by providing a concise way to indicate the size of a network.
CIDR Notation and Subnet Masks
- The subnet mask for /8 is 255.0.0.0.
- The subnet mask for /16 is 255.255.0.0.
- The subnet mask for /24 is 255.255.255.0.
- /32 is not a valid CIDR value since it equates to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.
Binary Representation
- A CIDR value of /16 indicates there are 16 leading 1's in the subnet mask.
- Each octet, with all bits set to 1, has a value of 255; with all bits set to 0, the value is 0.
- The IPv4 address worksheet is represented as: 128|64|32|16|8|4|2|1.
CIDR and Subnetting Benefits
- CIDR notation serves as a shorthand to simplify subnetting processes.
- Subnet masks are always read from left to right, not right to left.
- CIDR values divisible by 8 correspond to specific subnet masks:
- /8: 255.0.0.0
- /16: 255.255.0.0
- /24: 255.255.255.0.
VLSM and Routing Masks
- VLSM stands for Variable-Length Subnet Masking, which allows for more efficient IP address space utilization.
- The /N in CIDR refers to the number of leading 1 bits in the subnet mask used for routing.
- The traditional term for the routing mask is network mask.
Address Representation
- An IPv4 address like 192.168.100.14/24 represents the routing prefix 192.168.100.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
- The valid range for CIDR notation is from /1 to /31.
