Why were VLSM, CIDR, NAT,

and private addressing
developed?
What is the range for Class A
addresses?
What is the range for Class B
addresses?
What is the range for Class C
addresses?
What are ip addresses that
begin with 4 1 bits reserved
for?
How many hosts are available
for Class C addresses?
How can you determine the
subnet mask for a classful ip
address?
How many host addresses are
available for Class B
addresses?
What two things did Classless
Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
allow for?
What does the address class
mean to CIDR?
What process does CIDR
allocate IP addresses
according to subnets rather
than by class?
What does prefix aggregation
do to the routing tables?
What is another name for a
route that has been aggregated
be called?
What must be included in the
routing update when you use
classless routing?
What are the 5 classless
routing protocols?
When are classless routing
protocols necessary?

ARPANET
0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
Experimental
254 host per network
simply by examining the value of the first octet in the
network address, or by applying its ingress interface
mask for subnetted routes
65,534 host addresses
More efficient use of IPv4 address space
Prefix aggregation, which reduced the size of routing
tables
address class is meaningless
CIDR uses Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) to
allocate IP addresses to subnets according to individual
need rather than by class
The ability for routes to be summarized as a single
route helps reduce the size of Internet routing tables.
"Static Routing"
Classless routing protocols include the subnet mask
with the network address in the routing update.
RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP
Classless routing protocols are necessary when the
mask cannot be assumed or determined by the value of
the first octet.

Do you have to use route

summarization in a classless
routing environment?
6.2.1

6.3.1

6.3.2

Using a classful routing protocol, R2 can send these

individual networks without summarization, but the
benefits of summarization are lost.

What is another name for

sub-subnetting
VLSM?
If you start with /16 subnet, how 256 subnets
many subnets are available?
If sub-subnet a /16 subnet, to /
This mask will allow 14 host addresses per subnet.
28 how many subnets are
Twelve bits are borrowed, creating 4,096 subnets
created for each of the original
subnets?
What is the process of
advertising a contiguous set of
addresses as a single address
with a less-specific, shorter
subnet mask called?
Explain the difference between
route summarization in RIPv1
and supernetting?
When you summarize a set of
routes what is the first step?
What is matched in the second
step of route summarization?
What is the final step in route
summarization?
