Answer 1

1.Benefits of VSLMs: They allow the segmentation of classless network into smaller part irrespective of fulfilling division into equal parts. This makes the use of address space efficently without wasting the allocated and defined space.

2.Of the four diagnostic steps the most of the issue is founded in step two that is:Gather more details, eliminate variables because it contains various sub components which are needed to b fulfilled like error messages, event logs and many more in order to move towards further step.

3.Yes,invalid hosts labeled in your network is a big issue as if the host labels are not correct than it definitely throw error as the address to reach the host network would get diverted and confused and even the time used for searching would b wasted and that would completely effect on the whole network.

4.The biggest fear with IP addressing is that is up assign is valid and is accessed by some other valid user then it may create data manipulation to some unknown IP address and this may threaten our privacy and even if our IP is known to someone than there might b change of our data getting into hands of other.  This may be the biggest holdup in administration as the data is endangered and might create the risk of losing the access of stealing of information which might be proven as the biggest risk for the administration as it would holdup the things in a bad way.
