v Choosing the Mask(s) to Meet Requirements
▼ The designer has to make choices based on the number of
subnets and host per subnet to meet requirements for the
network.
▼ The designer also has to choose whether to use a single subnet
mask as with a classful network or many subnet masks as with a
classless network.
▼ For Chapter 21 the premise is that the designer has chosen to
use a single mask for a classful network and in particular there
are three general cases for the design:
➘ No mask meets the requirements.
➘ One and only one mask meets the requirements.
➘ Multiple masks meet the requirements.
