Variable Length Subnet Mask

(VLSM)

We Have: - 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1- 90 Hosts. 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 = 7 Bits (Block).

2- 23 Hosts. 1 0 1 1 1 = 5 Bits (Block).
3- 7 Hosts. 1 1 1 = 3 Bits (Block).
4- 2 Hosts. = 3 Hosts 1 1 = 2 Bits (Block).
5- 2 Hosts. = 3 Hosts 1 1 = 2 Bits (Block).

Because we have 2 Hosts So we will add 1 Host because that

called bounded number that is ( 1,2,4,8,16,32,64)

Now We Will Calculate VLSM Start with Largest Number of

Hosts:-

255.255.255.128 /25 New Subnet Mask
Incremental = 128.
192.168.55.0 /25 Network _Id For 90 Hosts
192.168.55.128 /25 we will use it for the other
Network (23 Hosts).
