VLSM Example
Given the same network and requirements as in Sample Exercise 2 develop a subnetting scheme with the use of VLSM, given:
Determine what mask allows the required number of hosts.
The easiest way to assign the subnets is to assign the largest first. For example, you can assign in this manner:
This can be graphically represented as shown in Figure 5:Figure 5
Figure 5 illustrates how using VLSM helped save more than half of the address space.
