Question: 1. I always find this chapter to be enlightening. It speaks briefly on how subnet masking is required to meet a design based on a chose number of networks. Subnet mask as a whole is a hierarchical view of IP addresses that define the three-part structure (network, subnet, and host). As the network design grows subnetting can get challenging.

Class, I believe analogies help the most when learning challenging topics. What analogy would you use to show your understanding of subnet design?

2. Research using the course learning materials, valid internet sources, and related personal experience, the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing CIDR, summarization, and VLSM.

Discuss specific situations when you would use CIDR, summarization, and VLSM. Each method involves moving the network/node line to the right or to the left. In Your Own Words, describe how each method is used for a different purpose.

Each answer must be a minimum of 120 words. These are discussion answers not long papers so keep it simple but substantial.
