Given Network = 192.168.0.0
Required hosts for Router 1 = 60
Required hosts for Router 2 = 30
Router 1 >= 60 hosts
60 >= 2n – 2
60 >= 26 – 2
60 >= 64 – 2
60 >= 62
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 6 = 26 (CIDR of Router 1 network i.e Given network )
i.e 192.168.0.0/26
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 2.
so the new network is 192.168.0.64/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
Given network 192 .168 .0 .0
FVH 192 .168 .0 .1
LVH 192 .168 .0 .62
Broadcas 192 .168 .0 .63
New network 192 .168 .0 .64
Router 2 >= 30 hosts
30 >= 2n – 2
30 >= 25 – 2
30 >= 32 – 2
30 >= 30
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 5 = 27 (CIDR of Router 2 network i.e New network )
i.e 192.168.0.64/27
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 192.168.0.96/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
Given network 192 .168 .0 .64
FVH 192 .168 .0 .65
LVH 192 .168 .0 .94
Broadcas 192 .168 .0 .95
New network 192 .168 .0 .96
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 Virtrual network (R1&R2))
i.e 192.168.0.96/30
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 3. This network can be used in future.
so the new network is 192.168.0.100/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
Given network 192 .168 .0 .96
FVH 192 .168 .0 .97
LVH 192 .168 .0 .98
Broadcas 192 .168 .0 .99
New network 192 .168 .0 .100
