VLSM Short-cut

I hope this post will guide you to calculate VLSM very shortly. Also you don’t have to remember binary for every number except subnet mask.

I take an IP address, for example: 192.168.100.40 /27


1


Step 1 : Subnet Mask

3


Step 2 : Network Address and Broadcast Address

Fill first 3 octets with IP Address.

4


5


6


Now the first number of the block is Network Address and Last number of block is Broadcast Address.

7


Step 3 : Valid IP Range

9


Step 4 : Number of Hosts

10

CCNA Access List Control (ACL) Simulation

  A network associate is adding security to the configuration of the Corp1 router. The user on host C should be able to use a web browser to access financial information from the Finance Web Server. No other hosts from the LAN nor the Core should be able to use a web browser to access this server. Since there are multiple resources for the corporation at this location including other resources on the Finance Web Server, all other traffic should be allowed. The task is to create and apply a numbered access-list with no more than three statements that will allow ONLY host C web access to the Finance Web Server. No other hosts will have web access to the Finance Web Server. All other traffic is permitted. Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host. All passwords have been temporarily set to “cisco”. The Core connection uses an IP address of 198.18.196.65 The computers in the Hosts LAN have been assigned addr...
