In your original post, discuss the following:

  • What does VLSM stand for? Why is it used and what shortcomings does it help resolve on a network? 
  • Provide an example of VLSM, make sure to include IP address, subnet  mask, number of networks and number of hosts. How do you determine this  information?
  • What is a VLAN? Compare and contrast an access port and trunk port.   Provide a real world scenario where an access port would be used as  well as a trunk port.
