RIPv2 In Packet Tracer – VLSM
Given Network: 196.50.50.0
1) Required hosts on Router 1= 100
2) Required hosts on Router 2= 60
3) Required hosts on Router 3= 30
R1<= 100
100<= 2n – 2
100<= 27 – 2
100<= 128 – 2
100<= 126
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 7 = 25 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 1)
i.e. 196.50.50.0/25
N.S.M = 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000
= 255.255.255.128
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 128 = 128
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 2.
So the new network is 196.50.50.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 126 |
| Broadcast | 196 | 50 | 50 | 127 |
| New Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 128 |
R2<= 14
60<= 2n – 2
60<= 26 – 2
60<= 64 – 2
60<= 62
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 6 = 26 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 2)
i.e. 196.50.50.128/26
N.S.M = 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11000000
= 255.255.255.192
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 192 = 64
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 3.
So the new network is 196.50.50.192/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 128 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 129 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 190 |
| Broadcast | 196 | 50 | 50 | 191 |
| New Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 192 |
R3<= 30
30<= 2n – 2
30<= 25 – 2
30<= 32 – 2
30<= 30
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 5 = 27 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 3)
i.e.196.50.50.192/27
N.S.M = 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11100000
= 255.255.255.224
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 224 = 32
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 1 and 2 (Virtual Network).
So the new network is 196.50.50.224/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 192 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 193 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 222 |
| Broadcast | 196 | 50 | 50 | 223 |
| New Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 224 |
Router 1 & 2 <= 2 hosts (we required only two IP to connect 2 routers)
2 <= 2n – 2
2 <= 22 – 2
2 <= 4 – 2
2 <= 2
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 2 = 30 (CIDR of Virtual network (R1&R2)
i.e. 196.50.50.224/30
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100
= 255.255.255.252
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 252 = 4
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 2 and 3 (Virtual Network).
so the new network is 196.50.50.228/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 224 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 225 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 226 |
| Broadcast | 196 | 50 | 50 | 227 |
| New Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 228 |
Router 2 & 3 <= 2 hosts (we required only two IP to connect 2 routers)
2 <= 2n – 2
2 <= 22 – 2
2 <= 4 – 2
2 <= 2
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 2 = 30 (CIDR of Virtual network (R2&R3)
i.e. 196.50.50.228/30
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100
= 255.255.255.252
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 252 = 4
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 4. This network can be used in future.
so the new network is 196.50.50.232/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 228 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 229 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 196 | 50 | 50 | 230 |
| Broadcast | 196 | 50 | 50 | 231 |
| New Network | 196 | 50 | 50 | 232 |
