Study Notes
Chapter 5: Subnetting IP Networks
- Subnetting an IPv4 network enables end-to-end connectivity in small to medium-sized business networks.
- Subnetting segments a network to improve communication.
- Calculating IPv4 subnets for /24, /16, and /8 prefixes is covered.
- Implementing IPv4 addressing schemes and variable length subnet masking (VLSM) is explained.
- VLSM addressing schemes are used to provide connectivity to end users in small to medium-sized networks.
Network Segmentation: Broadcast Domains
- Devices use broadcasts in Ethernet LANs to locate other devices and services.
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) sends Layer 2 broadcasts to find MAC addresses.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) broadcasts to find DHCP servers.
- Switches forward broadcasts to all ports except the port that received the broadcast.
- Large broadcast domains cause slow network and device operations.
Reasons for Subnetting
- Subnetting reduces overall network traffic and improves performance.
- Subnetting enables implementing security policies by controlling communication between subnets.
- Subnetting can be used by location or device type to segment the network and improve organization.
Subnetting an IPv4 Network: Octet Boundaries
- Networks are most easily subnetted at octet boundaries (/8, /16, and /24).
- Subnet masks are used to identify the network portion of an IP address.
- Subnets are created by borrowing host bits to be used as network bits.
- The more host bits borrowed, the more subnets can be created.
Classless Subnetting
- Subnets can borrow bits from any host bit position to create various subnet masks.
- Listing shows how to subnets a /24 network using different prefix lengths.
Subnetting Examples
- Examples for 1/2 and 4 subnets are described in detail in binary and decimal representations.
- Examples are given for calculating the network, first, last, and broadcast addresses in each subnet.
Subnetting with the Magic Number
- The magic number technique simplifies calculating subnets.
- The magic number is the place value of the last bit in the subnet mask.
- The different examples in the presentation illustrate using magic numbers to determine the subnet mask.
VLSM
- VLSM allows for subnets of different sizes by borrowing varying numbers of host bits to create the subnets.
- VLSM formulas for calculating hosts per subnet and subnet numbers apply to VLSM subnets.
IPv4 Network Subnetting (100 Subnets)
- Explanation of how borrowing 7 host bits in a
/16network creates 128 subnets. - Formula calculation determining the number of subnets (2n), where "n" is the number of bits borrowed from the host bit position.
Benefits of Variable Length Subnet Masking
- VLSM does not require subnets to be equal in size, as long as their address ranges don't overlap.
- VLSM allows for more efficient use of IP addresses because it doesn't waste address space.
VLSM in Practice
- Provides examples of how VLSM can be used to subnet a network more efficiently than traditional methods, for example to different buildings in a company.
- Shows how subnetting can be applied on multiple levels and how to configure routers accordingly.
