Advanced IP Addressing

Overview/Description
To illustrate advanced IP addressing to include variable-length subnet mask (VLSM), route summarization, and classless interdomain routing (CIDR)

Target Audience
Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing medium-to-large routed networks in an enterprise or service provider environment; network architects responsible for designing networks that support multiple routing protocol types; CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP candidates; CCIE routing and switching candidates

Prerequisites
A good understanding of networking terms, topologies, and the OSI reference model; familiarity with TCP/IP and configuring IP address schemes, including subnetting and variable-length subnet masking (VLSM); experience of operating and configuring Cisco routers for general use and configuring basic routing protocol implementations

Expected Duration
175 Minutes

Objectives:

Advanced IP Addressing

  • distinguish between the access, distribution, and core layer elements of network design in a scalable network.
  • list the advantages of effective network design principles.
  • recognize the benefits of implementing an optimized IP-addressing plan.
  • recognize the range of addresses associated with an IP address and identify the characteristics that enable VLSMs to conserve IP addresses.
  • calculate variable-length subnet masking for network LANs and WAN serial links.
  • allocate addressing for a number of serial links in a given scenario.
  • identify the advantages of and calculate route summarization.
  • recognize the purpose and benefits of classless interdomain routing (CIDR).
  • calculate route summarization and determine CIDR blocks for a given list of networks.
  • determine the summarized route for a network.
