VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masks)
VLSM If you know how to subnet, you can do VLSM. Example: 10.0.0.0/8 Subnet in /16 subnets: 10.0.0.0/16 10.1.0.0/16 10.2.0.0/16 10.3.0.0/16 Etc. Subnet one of the subnets (10.1.0.0/16) 10.1.0.0/24 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.2.0/24 10.1.3.0/24 etc14
VLSM
Host can only be a member of the subnet. Host can NOT be a member of the network that was subnetted. YES!
10.2.1.55/24
10.2.1.55/16
All other /16 subnets are still available for use as /16 networks or to be subnetted.
NO!
15
VLSM Using the chart This chart can be used to help determine subnet addresses. This can any octet. Well keep it simple and make it the fourth octet. Network: 172.16.1.0/24 What if we needed 10 subnets with a minimum of 12 hosts? What would the Mask be? What would the addresses of each subnet be? What would the range of hosts be for each subnet?16
VLSM Using the chart Network: 172.16.1.0/24 What if we needed 5 subnets? What would the Mask be? 255.255.255.240 (/28) What would the addresses of each subnet be? 172.16.1.0/28 172.16.1.32/28 172.16.1.64/28 172.16.1.96/28 172.16.1.128/28 172.16.1.160/28 172.16.1.192/28 172.16.1.224/28 What would the range of valid hosts for each subnet? 172.16.1.0/26: 172.16.1.1-172.16.1.31 172.16.1.32/26: 172.16.1.33-172.16.1.62 172.16.1.64/26: 172.16.1.65-172.16.1.94 172.16.1.96/26: 172.16.1.97-172.16.1.126 Etc.
17
16 /30 subnets
VLSM Using the chart What if we needed several (four) /30 subnets for our serial links? Take one of the /27 subnets and subnet it again into /30 subnets.
Still have 7 /27 subnets
16 /30 subnets

Classful Subnetting
Classful IP Addressing
In the early days of the Internet, IP addresses were allocated to organizations based on request rather than actual need. When an organization received an IP network address, that address was associated with a Class, A, B, or C. This is known as Classful IP Addressing The first octet of the address determined what class the network belonged to and which bits were the network bits and which bits were the host bits. There were no subnet masks. It was not until 1992 when the IETF introduced CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing), making the address class meaning less. This is known as Classless IP Addressing. For now, all you need to know is that todays networks are classless, except for some things like the structure of Ciscos IP routing table and for those networks that still use Classful routing protocols. You will learn more about this is CIS 82, CIS 83 and CIS 185.

With 24 bits available for hosts, there a 224 possible addresses. Thats 16,777,216 nodes!
There are 126 class A addresses. 0 and 127 have special meaning and are not used. 16,777,214 host addresses, one for network address and one for broadcast address. Only large organizations such as the military, government agencies, universities, and large corporations have class A addresses. For example ISPs have 24.0.0.0 and 63.0.0.0 Class A addresses account for 2,147,483,648 of the possible IPv4 addresses. Thats 50 % of the total unicast address space, if classful was still used in the Internet!

IPv4 Address Classes
No medium size host networks In the early days of the Internet, IP addresses were allocated to organizations based on request rather than actual need.26
Network based on first octet
The network portion of the IP address was dependent upon the first octet. There was no Base Network Mask provided by the ISP. The network mask was inherent in the address itself.
27
IPv4 Address Classes
Class D Addresses A Class D address begins with binary 1110 in the first octet. First octet range 224 to 239. Class D address can be used to represent a group of hosts called a host group, or multicast group. Class E Addresses First octet of an IP address begins with 1111 Class E addresses are reserved for experimental purposes and should not be used for addressing hosts or multicast groups.28

IPv4 Addressing
Subnet Mask One solution to the IP address shortage was thought to be the subnet mask. Formalized in 1985 (RFC 950), the subnet mask breaks a single class A, B or C network in to smaller pieces. This does allow a network administrator to divide their network into subnets. Routers still associated an network address with the first octet of the IP address.34
All Zeros and All Ones SubnetsUsing the All Ones Subnet There is no command to enable or disable the use of the all-ones subnet, it is enabled by default. Router(config)#ip subnet-zero The use of the all-ones subnet has always been explicitly allowed and the use of subnet zero is explicitly allowed since Cisco IOS version 12.0. RFC 1878 states, "This practice (of excluding all-zeros and all-ones subnets) is obsolete! Modern software will be able to utilize all definable networks." Today, the use of subnet zero and the all-ones subnet is generally accepted and most vendors support their use, though, on certain networks, particularly the ones using legacy software, the use of subnet zero and the all-ones subnet can lead to problems.

Long Term Solution: IPv6 (coming) IPv6, or IPng (IP the Next Generation) uses a 128-bit address space, yielding 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible addresses. IPv6 has been slow to arrive IPv6 requires new software; IT staffs must be retrained IPv6 will most likely coexist with IPv4 for years to come. Some experts believe IPv4 will remain for more than 10 years.

Larger Address Space Enables Address Aggregation
Aggregation of prefixes announced in the global routing table Efficient and scalable routing
45
IPv6 Address assignment features: Using DHCP and Stateless Autoconfiguration. Built-in Support for Mobility: IPv6 supports mobility such that IPv6 hosts can move around the Internetwork, retain their IPv6 address and without losing current application sessions. Aggregation: IPv6s huge address space makes for much easier aggregation of blocks of addresses in the Internet, making routing in the Internet more efficient. No need for NAT/PAT: The huge public IPv6 address space removes the need for NAT/PAT, which avoids some NAT-induced application problems and makes for more efficient routing. No Broadcasts: IPv6 does not use layer 3 broadcast addresses, instead relying on multicasts to reach multiple hosts. Transition tools: IPv6 has many rich tools to help with the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.46
Three types of IPv6 Addresses
The three types of IPv6 address follow: 1. Unicast Global Unicast Link Local Unicast Unique Local Unicast 2. Multicast 3. Anycast Unlike IPv4, there is no IPv6 broadcast address. There is, however, an "all nodes" multicast address, which serves essentially the same purpose as a broadcast address.47
Unicast Addresses
A unicast address is an address that identifies a single device. A global unicast address is a unicast address that is globally unique. Has global scope. Globally unique and can therefore be routed globally with no modification.
48
Global Unicast AddressesReplaced with
Note: This format, specified in RFC 3587, obsoletes and simplifies an earlier format that divided the IPv6 unicast address into Top Level Aggregator (TLA), Next-Level Aggregator (NLA), and other fields. However, you should be aware that this obsolescence is relatively recent and you are likely to encounter some books and documents that show the old IPv6 address format.
49
Unicast Addresses
The host portion of the address is called the Interface ID. Host can have more than one IPv6 interface Address more correctly identifies an interface on a host than a host itself. A single interface can have multiple IPv6 addresses, and can have an IPv4 address in addition.
50
Unicast Addresses
Another big difference between IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses: location of the Subnet Identifier Subnet Identifier is part of the network portion of the address rather than the host portion.
51
Unicast Addresses
The Interface ID is a consistent size for all IPv6 addresses, simplifying the parsing of the address. And making the Subnet ID a part of the network portion creates a clear separation of functions: The network portion provides the location of a device down to the specific data link and the host portion provides the identity of the device on the data link.
52
Background
IPv4 will exist for some time, as the transition begins to IPv6. Other new protocols have been developed in support of IPv6: Routing protocols (OSPFv3) so routers can learn about IPv6 network addresses. ICMPv6

Unreachable Destination or Service Used to notify a host that the destination or service is unreachable. When a host or router receives a packet that it cannot deliver, it may send an ICMP Destination Unreachable packet to the host originating the packet. The Destination Unreachable packet will contain codes that indicate why the packet could not be delivered. From a router: 0 = network unreachable Does not have a route in the routing table 1 = host unreachable Has a route but cant find host. (end router) From a host: 2 = protocol unreachable 3 = port unreachable Service is not available because no daemon is running providing the service or because security on the host is not allowing access to the service.

Ping example
63
Pings may fail
Q: Are pings forwarded by routers? A: Yes! This is why you can ping devices all over the Internet. Q: Do all devices forward or respond to pings? A: No, this is up to the network administrator of the device. Devices, including routers, can be configured not to reply to pings (ICMP echo requests). This is why you may not always be able to ping a device. Also, routers can be configured not to forward pings destined for other devices.

Traceroute is a utility that records the route (router IP addresses) between two devices on different networks.
65
Tracroute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceroute On modern Unix and Linux-based operating systems, the traceroute utility by default uses UDP datagrams with a destination port number starting at 33434. The traceroute utility usually has an option to specify use of ICMP echo request (type 8) instead. The Windows utility uses ICMP echo request, better known as ping packets. Some firewalls on the path being investigated may block UDP probes but allow the ICMP echo request traffic to pass through. There are also traceroute implementations sending out TCP packets, such as tcptraceroute or Layer Four Trace. In Microsoft Windows, traceroute is named tracert. A new utility, pathping, was introduced with Windows NT, combining ping and traceroute functionality. All these traceroutes rely on ICMP (type 11) packets coming back.66
Trace (Traceroute)
Trace ( Cisco = traceroute, tracert,) is used to trace the probable path a packet takes between source and destination. Probable, because IP is a connectionless protocol, and different packets may take different paths between the same source and destination networks, although this is not usually the case. Trace will show the path the packet takes to the destination, but the return path may be different. This is more likely the case in the Internet, and less likely within your own autonomous system. Linux/Unix Systems Uses ICMP message within an IP Packet Both are layer 3 protocols. Uses UDP as a the transport layer. We will see why this is important in a moment.67

How it works (using UDP) - Fooling the routers & host! Traceroute uses ping (echo requests) Traceroute sets the TTL (Time To Live) field in the IP Header, initially to 1 When a router receives an IP Packet, it decrements the TTL by 1. If the TTL is 0, it will not forward the IP Packet, and send back to the source an ICMP time exceeded message.

RTB This time RTB decrements the TTL by 1 and it is NOT 0. (It is 2.) So it looks up the destination ip address in its routing table and forwards it on to the next router. RTC This time RTC decrements the TTL by 1 and it is NOT 0. (It is 1.) So it looks up the destination ip address in its routing table and forwards it on to the next router. RTD RTD however decrements the TTL by 1 and it is 0. However, RTD notices that the Destination IP Address of 192.168.0.2 is its own interface. Since it does not need to forward the packet, the TTL of 0 has no affect.
