This episode introduces classless addressing and Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM), which replaced the limitations of classful addressing. Classless addressing allows networks to use subnet masks of any length, providing more efficient allocation of address space. VLSM extends this flexibility by enabling subnets of different sizes within the same network, which is critical for optimizing address usage in real deployments. These are key exam topics because they represent modern addressing practices.Practical examples include assigning a /30 subnet for point-to-point links, a /24 subnet for a local office, and a /28 for a smaller branch site—all within the same overall network. Troubleshooting scenarios include recognizing when subnet masks are mismatched or when overlapping ranges cause routing conflicts. By mastering classless addressing and VLSM, you gain the ability to design efficient networks and solve problems that appear on the exam and in professional practice.
