Given Network: 210.80.50.0
Required hosts on Router 1= 50
Required hosts on Router 2= 25
Required hosts on Router 3= 14
Required hosts on Router 4= 5
R1<= 50
50<= 2n – 2
50<= 26 – 2
50<= 64 – 2
50<= 62
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 6 = 26 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 1)
i.e. 210.80.50.0/26
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 210.80.50.64/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 210 | 80 | 50 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 210 | 80 | 50 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 210 | 80 | 50 | 62 |

R2<= 25
25<= 2n – 2
25<= 25 – 2
25<= 32 – 2
25<= 30
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 5 = 27 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 2)
i.e. 210.80.50.64/27
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 3.

N.S.M = 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11110000
= 255.255.255.240
Block Size = 256 – N.S.M
= 256 – 240 = 16
Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 4.

i.e. 210.80.50.112/29
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000
= 255.255.255.248
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 1 and 2 (Virtual Network).
so the new network is 210.80.50.120/?

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. 210.80.50.120/30
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100

Note: Add this block size in given network so that we can get our new network for Router 5. This network can be used in future.

Besides, I am missing a lot of fluid from my brain right now-so don’t expect five stars from my vision. Many
felt he better ddeserved a lifetime achievement
award instead. Jason Spezza returned to make and scored 84 suggestions.
