Introduction to
Classless Routing
1
Overview: Classful/Classless Routing
• Classful routing - a network must use the same subnet mask
for the entire network
Network IP
192.168.187.0
Network Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Classless routing – using more than one subnet mask for a
network address
• “subnetting a subnet”
Network IP
192.168.187.0
Network Subnet Masks
255.255.255.252
255.255.255.0

Overview: (Classful) IPv4 Addressing Limits
• IPv4 – 20 years old
• IPv4 – even with subnetting, couldn’t handle the global demand
for Internet connectivity
• Class B space was on the verge of depletion.
• Rapid and substantial increase in the size of the Internet's
routing tables.
• As more Class C's came online, the flood of new network
information threatened Internet routers' capability to
cope.
3
Overview: (Classful) IPv4 Addressing Limits
• Provides IP scheme with limitations:
• Class A – 126 networks: 16,777,214 hosts each
• Class B – 65,000 networks: 65,534 hosts each
• Class C – 2 million networks: 254 hosts each
• While available addresses were running out, only 3%
of assigned addresses were
actually being used!
• Subnet zero, broadcast addresses,
pool of unused addresses at
Class A and B sites, etc.
4
Overview: Scalability & Routing Tables
• Maximum theoretical routing table size is 60,000 entries.
• Classful addressing would have hit this capacity by
mid-1994.
• Internet growth would have ended.

1.1.1 What is VLSM and why is it used?
• The purpose of VLSM is to alleviate the shortage of IP addresses
• VLSM allows:
• More than one subnet mask within the same NW
• Or . . . Multiple SNMasks with ONE IP Address
• Use of long mask on networks with few hosts
• Use of short mask on networks with many hosts
• In order to use VLSM, the routing protocol must support it.
• Cisco routers with the following routing protocols support VLSM:
• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
• IS-IS (Integrated Intermediate System to Intermediate System)
• EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
• RIP v2
• Static Routing
6
1.1.1 What is VLSM and why is it used?
Classful routing protocols use one subnet mask for a single network
• Ex: 192.168.187.0, must use subnet mask 255.255.255.0
VLSM allows a single autonomous system to have networks with
different subnet masks, for example:
• Use a 30-bit subnet mask on network connections
• (255.255.255.252)
• Use a 24-bit subnet mask for user networks up to 250 users
• (255.255.255.0)
• Use a 22-bit subnet mask for user networks up to 1000 users
• (255.255.252.0)
7
1.1.2 A waste of space
• In classless routing, it was recommended that first and last
subnet not be used
• First (SN 0) had same address for the network and subnet
• Last subnet (all-1’s) was the broadcast
• Always could have been used, was not recommended
practice
• Address depletion has lead to use of these subnets
• Now acceptable practice to use the first and last subnets in
conjunction with VLSM

1.1.2 A waste of space
Network Address
192.168.187.0
Borrow 3 bits = SNM
255.255.255.224
Subnets =
0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224
9
1.1.2 A waste of space
Network Address
192.168.187.0
Borrow 3 bits = SNM
255.255.255.224
Subnets =
0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224
If subnet zero is used, there are 8 useable subnets
• Each subnet can support 30 hosts
• Cisco routers use subnet zero by default IOS v. 12.0+
If no ip subnet-zero command is used on the router, there are 7
useable subnets with 30 hosts per subnet
• If supporting 4 routers (1 subnet each) that need 3 WAN
links to each other, all subnets are used
• No room for growth
• Waste of 28 host addresses for each WAN (point-topoint) links or 1/3 of potential address space
10
1.1.2 A waste of space
FOSTER(config)#no ip subnet-zero
• Disables the capability to use subnets that
include the network address of the
unsubnetted network
11
1.1.3 When to use VLSM
Design addressing scheme that
allows:
• Growth
• Doesn’t waste addresses on
point-to-point links
VLSM addressing applied instead results in:
•Variable sized subnets
•Take 1 of the 3 subnets and subnet it again
•Example 192.168.187.224 (last subnet)
•Apply a 30 bit mask (225.225.225.252)
•Creates a possible 8 ranges of addresses with 30 bits
•Best solution for point-to-point links – use 2 host addresses
instead of 30
12
1.1.4 Calculating subnets with VLSM
VLSM helps to manage IP addresses
• VLSM can use one SNM for a point-to-point link and
one SNM for a LAN
13
1.1.4 Calculating subnets with VLSM
Foster’s Fabulous Films
•
•
2 routers
• 1 in Hollywood (100 hosts)
• 1 in Ravenna (50 hosts)
• 1 WAN link (2 needed)
IP/NW Address: 192.16.10.0
• Class C
Use the BIGGEST first:

1.1.4 Calculating subnets with VLSM
If VLSM were used instead of classful routing:
• A 24-bit mask could be used for LAN segments for 250
hosts
• A 30-bit mask could be used for WAN segments for 2 hosts
• 172.16.32.0/20 (would accommodate 4094 hosts)
• Binary = 10101100.00010000.00100000.00000000
• SNM = 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
• VLSM address172.16.32.0/26 (needed for 62 hosts)
• Binary = 10101100.00010000.00100000.00000000
• SNM = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
• If 172.16.32.0/20 used, but only 10 hosts on segment, would
provide 4094 hosts and waste 4084 addresses
• By further subnetting /20 to /26, gain 64 subnets (26) each
supporting 62 hosts
16
1.1.4 Calculating Subnets w/VLSM
Procedure to subnet a subnet /20 to /26 using VLSM:
1. Write 172.16.32.0 in binary form
• Binary = 10101100.00010000.00100000.00000000
2. Draw a vertical line between the 20th and 21st bits (the original
subnet boundary)
3. Draw a vertical line between the 26th and 27th bits extending the bits
to segment/host needs
4. Calculate the number of subnet addresses between the two vertical
lines (lowest to highest) in value
17
1.1.4 Calculating Subnets w/VLSM
•
Keep in mind that only unused subnets can be further
subnetted
• If any address for a subnet is used cannot be further
subnetted
18
1.1.5 Route Aggregation w/VLSM
•
•
•
•
Every network needs a separate entry in routing table
Each subnet needs a separate entry
Aggregation will reduce routing table size
When using VLSM keep subnetwork numbers grouped together
in the network to allow for aggregation by using Classless
InterDomain Routing (CIDR)
• 172.16.14.0
• 172.16.15.0
• Router needs to carry only one route 172.16.14.0/23
19
1.1.5 Route Aggregation w/VLSM
• Using CIDR and VLSM prevents address waste and promotes route
aggregation or summarization
• Without summarization, Internet would collapse
• Summarization reduces burden on upstream routers
• This process of summarization continues until entire network is
advertised as a single aggregate route
• Summarization is also called supernetting
• Possible if the routers of a network run a classless routing
protocol such as OSPF or EIGRP
• Consists of IP address and bit mask in routing updates
• The summary route uses prefix common to all addresses of
organization
20
1.1.5 Route Aggregation w/VLSM
Carefully assign addresses in a hierarchical fashion to share same
high-order bits for summarization
• A router must know subnets attached in detail
• A router does not need to tell other routers about subnets
• A router using aggregate routes has fewer entries in routing
table
• VLSM allows for summarization of routes
• Works even if networks are not contiguous
• VLSM increases flexibly by summarization on higher-order bits
• Used to calculate the network number of the summary route
• Uses only shared highest-order bits
21
1.1.6 Configuring VLSM
• If VLSM is chosen, it must be configured correctly
• Example: 192.168.10.0
• One router has to support 60 hosts, needs 6 bits in host
portion of address to provide 62 possible address
• (26 = 64 – 2 = 60)
192.168.10.0/26 (leaves 6 bits for hosts)
• One router has to support 28 hosts, needs 5 bits in host
portion of address to provide 30 possible hosts
• (25 = 32 – 2 = 30) 192.168.10.64/27 (leaves 5 bits for hosts)
• Two routers have to support 12 hosts each, needs 4 bits in
host portion of address to provide 14 possible hosts
(24 = 16 – 2 = 14) 192.168.10.96/28 (leaves 4 bits for hosts)
192.168.10.112/28 (leaves 4 bits for hosts)
22
1.1.6 Configuring VLSM
• Point-to-point connections are:
• 192.168.10.128/30 (2 address required, 2 bits = 2 host addresses)
• 192.168.10.132/30 (2 address required, 2 bits = 2 host addresses)
• 192.168.10.136/30 (2 address required, 2 bits = 2 host addresses)
• Choices = .136 .137 .138 .139
• Configuration as follows for the 192.168.10.136/30 network (.136/30 network address;.139/30 - broadcast address; .137/30 and 138/30 – host
addresses:
• (config)#interface serial 0
• (config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.137 255.255.255.252
• (config)#interface serial1
• (config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.138 255.255.255.252
23
1.2.1 RIP History
Internet is a collection of autonomous systems (AS)
• Each AS is administered by a single entity
• Each AS has its own routing technology
Routing protocol used within AS is Interior Gateway Protocol
Routing protocol used between Autonomous Systems is an Exterior Gateway
Protocol
RIP v1:
• is an IGP that is classful
• was designed to work within moderate-sized AS
• is a distance vector routing protocol
• by default, broadcasts entire routing table every 30 seconds
• uses hop count as metric (16 max)
• is capable of load balancing 6 equal-cost paths (4 default)
• Does not send subnet mask information in its updates
• Is not able to support VLSM or CIDR
24
1.2.1 RIP History
If the router receives information about a network, and the receiving
interface belongs to same network but is on a different subnet, the
router applies the one subnet mask configured on the receiving
interface
• Class A default classful mask is 255.0.0.0
• Class B default classful mask is 255.255.0.0
• Class C default classful mask is 255.255.255.0
25
1.2.2 RIP v2 Features
RIP v2 is an Improved version of RIP v1 with following features:
• Distance vector protocol
• Uses hop count as metric
• Uses hold-down timers (prevent routing loops), default 180 sec.
• Uses split horizon to prevent routing loops
• Uses 16 hops as infinite distance
• Provides prefix routing (sends subnet mask with route update)
• Supports use of classless routing (VLSM)
• Multicasts updates using 224.0.0.9 address for better efficiency
• Provides authentication in updates
• Clear text - default
• MD5 encryption – typically used to encrypt enable secret
passwords (Message-Digest 5)
26

27
1.2.4 Configuring RIP v2
To enable a dynamic routing protocol:
1. Select routing protocol
• FOSTER(config)#router rip
• FOSTER(config-router)#version 2
2. Configure routing protocol with the network IP address (identify
physically connected network that will receive routing tables)
• FOSTER(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
• FOSTER(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
3. Assign IP/SNM to interfaces
28
1.2.5 Verifying RIP v2
FOSTER#show ip protocols
•Shows protocol name
•Tells when updates are sent and
when the next is due
FOSTER#show ip route
•Tells if routers have learned about
a newly added network
•Displays IP routing table
FOSTER#show ip interface brief
•Summary of information
•status of interface
FOSTER#show running-config
Checks for a misconfigured routing
protocol
29
1.2.5 Verifying RIP v2
• RIP updates table every 30 seconds
• If no update received in 180 seconds, route marked as down
• If no update after 240 seconds, removes from routing table entry
30
1.2.6 Troubleshooting RIP v2
Foster#debug ip rip Displays RIP routing updates as
they are sent and received
Foster#no debug all Turns off all debugging
Foster#undebug all
31
1.2.7 Default Routes
Three ways a router learns about paths:
1. Static routes – manual configuration of routes (next hop)
• Uses ip route command
2. Default routes – manually defined path to take when there is no
known route to a destination
3. Dynamic routes – routers lean paths by receiving updates from
other routers
32
1.2.7 Default Routes
Default Route Command:
FOSTER(config)# ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0
172.16.2.1
Default NW
Next hop router
Tells that 8 bits of
subnetting in effect
33
1.2.7 Default Routes
DYNAMIC PROTOCOL Default Route Command
FOSTER(config)# ip default-network 192.168.20.0
Default NW
Used to:
1. Give packets that are not ID’d in the routing table a place to go
• Usually a router that connects to the Internet
2. Connect a router with a static default route
