    VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask) allows for efficient use of IP addresses by allowing subnets of different sizes within the same network. The document provides an example of how to use VLSM to configure a network with four departments of varying sizes in a way that saves IP addresses. It involves arranging networks by host count, recursively subnetting the largest blocks to create subnets that match department needs, and assigning addresses until all networks are configured. VLSM enables routing protocols to support subnets of variable lengths.

     VLSM
     Configuration of VLSM on a network
     VLSM Example

    19/01/2019
     FLSM(Fixed Length Subnet Mask) creates equal
    size subnets
     VLSM is subnetting of subnets
     Saves IP addresses
     In subnetting we divide a given block into two
    subnets, one of which is further divided into two
    more subnets, one of which is again subnetted
    based on the need of network and so on until we
    can develop our network or the block ends
     VLSM is supported by various routing protocols
    like, RIPv2, OSPF, BGP and EIGRP

     Configuration Process
    ◦ Suppose your company provides a block of IP address
    192.168.1.0/24. Company has 4 different departments need to be
    connected. So, as seen in the diagram, you got 4 LANs and 2
    WANs. The Data Centre has 90 hosts, Finance department has 50
    hosts, Admin Dept 25 hosts and Call Centre has 10 hosts. You
    need to take following steps to configure the netwok
    1. Arrange the networks with descending order of hosts i.e 90, 50, 25, 10
    2. Subnet the network with one bit. You will get two subnets. Each subnet
    will have 128 addresses
    3. Assign one subnet for data centre and subnet the second again with
    one bit, you will get two more subnets each with 64 addresses
    4. Use one for finance department and further subnet the second with one
    bit more, you will get two networks of 32 addresses each
    5. Subnet the second network with one bit and use one of resulting
    subnets for admin department
    6. You have configured all LANs, you have to WANs left
    7. Subnet one of the network with two bits and you get 4 subnets each
    with 4 addresses
    8. Assign the addresses to WANs/routers
