In this lab, I will show you the OSPF Single Area Combination of Class C and Class A on 2 Routers

VLSM
Given Network: 207.0.0.0
Host Requirement on Router 1: 500,000
Host Requirement on Router 2: 250,000
Router 1<= 500,000
500,000<= 2n – 2
500,000<= 219 – 2
500,000<= 524,288 – 2
500,000<= 524,286
Total number of network bit = 32
32 – n = 32 – 19 = 13 (CIDR of Router 1 network i.e. Given network)
i.e. 207.0.0.0/13
N.S.M = 11111111.11111000.00000000.00000000
= 255.248.0.0
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 248 = 8
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 2.
so the new network is 207.8.0.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 207 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 207 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 207 | 7 | 255 | 254 |
| Broadcast | 207 | 7 | 255 | 255 |
| New Network | 207 | 8 | 0 | 0 |
Router 2<= 250,000
250,000 <= 2n – 2
250,000<= 218 – 2
250,000<= 262,144 – 2
250,000<= 262,142
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 18 = 14 (CIDR of Router 2 network i.e. New network)
i.e. 207.8.0.0/14
N.S.M = 11111111.11111100.00000000.00000000
= 255.252.0.0
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 1 and 2 (Virtual Network).
so the new network is 207.12.0.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 207 | 8 | 0 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 207 | 8 | 0 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 207 | 11 | 255 | 254 |
| Broadcast | 207 | 11 | 255 | 255 |
| New Network | 207 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
Router 1 and Router 2 <= 2 (we required only two IP to connect two 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. 207.12.0.0/30
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 207.12.0.4/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 207 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 207 | 12 | 0 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 207 | 12 | 0 | 2 |
| Broadcast | 207 | 12 | 0 | 3 |
| New Network | 207 | 12 | 0 | 4 |
