 Classful vs. Classless
Subnetting

When you’re subnetting an IP address for a network you have two

options: classful and classless. Classful subnetting is the simplest method.
It tends to be the most wasteful because it uses more addresses than are
necessary. In classful subnetting you use the same subnet mask for each
subnet, and all the subnets have the same number of addresses in them.
Classless addressing allows you to use different subnet masks and
create subnets tailored to the number of users in each group. This technique
is referred to as VLSM, Variable Length Subnet Masks.

What is VLSM

Variable Length Subnet Masks allow you a much tighter control over
your addressing scheme. If you use a class C address with a default subnet
mask you end up with one subnet containing 256 addresses. By using VLSM
you can adjust the number of subnets and number of addresses depending
on the specific needs of your network. The same rules apply to a class A or
B addresses.

VLSM is supported by the following protocols: RIP version 2, OSPF,

EIGRP, Dual IS-IS, and BGP. You need to configure your router for Variable
Length Subnet Masks by setting up one of these protocols. Then configure
the subnet masks of the various interfaces in the IP address interface sub-
command.

Benefits of VLSM
Allows efficient use of address space
Allows the use of multiple subnet mask lengths
Breaks up an address block into smaller custom blocks
Allows for route summarization
Provides more flexibility in network design
Supports hierarchical enterprise networks

This workbook explores three different methods to figure out sub-subnets:

the box method, the circle method, and a VLSM chart.

 Classful Subnetting
Example
When you’re subnetting an IP address for a network you have two
options: classful and classless. Classful subnetting is the simplest method.
It also tends to be the most wasteful because it uses more addresses than
are necessary. In classful subnetting you use the same subnet mask for
each subnet, and all the subnets have the same number of addresses in
them.
In this example you need five subnets, each one containing 30 hosts.
The serial connections only require two address each so you are wasting 28
usable addresses in each of the serial subnet ranges.

 Classless Subnetting
Example

Classless addressing allows you to use different subnet masks

and create subnets tailored to the number of users in each subnetwork.
There are fewer wasted IP addresses using smaller subnets.
In this example you need at total of five subnets, two containing 30
hosts, one containing 12 hosts, and two serial connections that only require
two usable addresses each.

By adjusting the subnet masks you can cut your address usage by
almost half in this example. This type of subnetting requires a network
protocol which will support it such as: RIP version 2, EIGRP, OSPF, or BGP.

 Visualizing Subnets Using
The Box Method
The box method is a simple way to visualize the breakdown of subnets
and addresses into smaller sizes. By shading or coloring in the boxes you
can easily break up your subnets without overlapping your addresses. You
adjust each subnet to the correct size needed.
Start with a square. The whole square
is a single subnet comprised of 256
addresses.

/24

256 Hosts
1 Subnet

Split the box in half and you get two

subnets with 128 addresses.

/25

Divide the box into quarters and you

get four subnets with 64 addresses.

Split each individual square and you
get eight subnets with 32 addresses.

Split the boxes in half again and you
get sixteen subnets with sixteen
addresses.

 Visualizing Subnets Using a
VLSM Chart
The VLSM chart is the third method used to visualize the breakdown of
subnets and addresses into smaller sizes. By shading or coloring in the
boxes you can easily break up your subnets without overlapping your
addresses. You can adjust each sub-subnet to the correct size needed.

 VLSM
with
Class A and B
Addresses
We’ve gone over the practical applications of using VLSM on class C addresses. The
same approach works with class A and B addresses. For example an ISP may have a
class A address which it needs to subnet between its customers. Each customer may need
to take their addresses and subnet them again in order to use them more effectively. The
real trick to this is to remember which octet of the IP address you are working with.

Sample Problem 35
Part 1 of 3
Use the Class A address chart to break down the address for different ISP customers. At
this stage of the problem you are creating subnets using the second octet of the IP
address.

Addresses Problem 36
Part 1 of 3

The school system you are working for is using the private address of [Link] to subnet
the entire district. Use the Class B address chart to break down the sub-subnetwork
addresses for the different schools and offices.

At this stage of the problem you are creating sub-subnets with the third octet of the IP
address. Remember which octet of the IP address you are working in.

Addresses
Problem 36
Part 2 of 3
Eastern Elementary has been given 512 hosts, with the address range of [Link] / 21
([Link]).

Based on the information below supply the required address ranges and subnet masks for
each school area. Use the Class C address chart to break down the sub-subnetworks.

Hint:
Another way to look at this problem is to see that with the third octet range of 42 to 43 you
have access to 2 groups of 255 addresses ([Link] and [Link]). Think in terms
of having two Class C VLSM charts.

 Class C Addresses
VLSM Chart 24-30 Bits (4th octet)

South High in part 1 of this problem has been given 2,048 hosts, with the address range of
[Link] / 21 ([Link]).

Based on the information below supply the required address ranges and subnet masks for
each school area. Use both the Class B and Class C address charts to break down the
sub- subnetwork addresses for the different areas of the network.

Hint:
With this problem you are creating sub-subnets with both the third and fourth octets of the
IP address. You may need to use the Class B VLSM chart for the Students addressing
information. All the other addresses will be using the Class C VLSM chart. Another way to
look at this problem is to see that with the third octect range of 16 to 23 you have access to
8 groups of 255 addresses or eight Class C VLSM charts.

Class A and B
Addresses Problem 37
Part 1 of 3

The company you are working for is using the IP address [Link] sub-subneted for
multiple offices around the world. Use the Class A address chart to break down the sub-
subnetwork addresses for the different offices.

At this stage of the problem you are creating sub-subnets with the third octet of the IP
address. Remember which octet of the IP address you are working in.

Addresses Problem 37
Part 3 of 3
Office #7 in part 2 of this problem has been given 512 hosts, with the address range of
[Link] / 23 ([Link]).

Based on the information below supply the required address ranges and subnet masks for
each school area. Use the Class C address chart to break down the sub-subnetwork
addresses for the different areas of the network. Hint: Another way to look at this problem
is to see that with the third octect range of 80 to 81 you have access to 2 groups of 255
addresses or two Class C VLSM charts.

Problem 38
Client #7 has a total of 524,288 addresses. Use the Class B address chart to break down
the sub-subnetwork addresses for their different clients. At this stage of this problem you
are creating sub-subnets in the third or forth octet of the IP address.

Hint: Another way to look at this problem is to see that with the second octect range of 104
to 111 you have access to 8 groups of 65,536 addresses or 8 Class B VLSM charts.

Problem 38
Office #7 from part 3 of 4 has a total of 8,192 addresses. Use the Class B address chart to
break down the sub-subnetwork addresses for the different branch offices. At this stage of
this problem you are creating sub-subnets in the third octet of the IP address.

Hint: Remember that the range of this problem is between 128 and 159 in the third octect.
Your subnetting will start in the middle of the chart not at the top for this range.
