- To increase the number of subnets
What is the issue with traditional subnetting schemes?
What is the issue with traditional subnetting schemes?
- They create more subnets
- They allow for efficient use of IP addresses

- They require more network administrators
In a VLSM design, how are subnet masks assigned?
In a VLSM design, how are subnet masks assigned?
- Using a fixed subnet mask for all subnets
- Using the same subnet mask for all hosts
- Using a smaller subnet mask for smaller subnets and a larger subnet mask for larger subnets (correct)
- Using a larger subnet mask for smaller subnets and a smaller subnet mask for larger subnets
