I wonder if u used any special technique for VLSM... i am really in need of some easy method for VLSM .. I will sit for ICND in a week

Thanks to everyone.
Sorry for the late reply, i had to celebrate and as for the question i don't have any techniques other than capturing the concepts. Once you understand subnetting VLSM should be easy.
Say you have a single class C IP address. You can use a 30bits subnet mask for the WAN connections since it only allows 2 valid host addresses and a 28 bit subnet mask for a network requiring 14 hosts etc.
The idea is to avoid wasting address spaces like using a 26bit mask(62 hosts) on the routers WAN interfaces. This means only 2 address will be used and 60 will go down the drain.
I hope that clears it up a little otherwise i recomend you go over Todd Lammle's chapter on IP addressing. He has better techniques

Cheers and goodluck!
