Describe the Use of a Hierarchical
Routing and Addressing Scheme
Functions of a hierarchical addressing scheme:
 Prevent duplication of addresses
 Control access, monitor security and performance
 Support modular design and scalability

Describe the Use of a Hierarchical
Routing and Addressing Scheme
 Poorly-planned IP addressing can result in
discontiguous subnets
 Routing protocols may display more than one summary
route to discontiguous subnets
 Manual configuration of routing protocols may be
required

Describe the Use of a Hierarchical
Routing and Addressing Scheme
 VLSM provides more efficient use of IP address space
 VLSM enables routers to summarize routes on
classless boundaries

Describe the Use of a Hierarchical
Routing and Addressing Scheme
 CIDR ignores classful boundaries
 CIDR enables supernets: VLSMs with shorter prefix
lengths than the defaults
 Summarization produces leaner routing tables

Create the IP Address and Naming
Scheme
 Plan the entire
addressing scheme in
advance
 Allow for significant
growth
 Support the physical
layout, routing, and
security

Create the IP Address and Naming
Scheme
 Define the addressing blocks scheme to support
summarization
 Document locations, VLAN or network type, and
number of hosts and networks

Create the IP Address and Naming
Scheme
 Select the
appropriate routing
protocol to use in the
network
 Support classless
routing and VLSM
 Small and infrequent
updates to reduce
traffic
 Fast convergence

Create the IP Address and Naming
Scheme
 Determine an appropriate naming scheme
 Use codes and avoid names that easily identify
protected resources
 Maintain consistency
 Document the names

Summary
 Allocation of IP addresses must be planned and
documented.
 A properly-designed hierarchical IP addressing scheme
makes it easier to perform route summarization.
 A complex hierarchy of variable-sized networks can be
summarized at various points using a prefix address.
 The choice of routing protocol must support the VLSM
and summarization strategy.
 A good network naming scheme makes the network
easier to manage and easier to navigate.
 IPv6 addresses are written as a series of eight 16-bit
hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
