VLSM
Given Network: 150.100.0.0
Required host on Router 1= 30,000
Required host on Router 2= 8,000
Required host on Router 3= 2000
R1<=30,000
30,000 <=2n – 2
30,000 <=215 – 2
30,000<=32,768 – 2
30,000<=32,766
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 15 = 17 (CIDR value of Router 1 i.e. Given network)
i.e. 150.100.0.0/17
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.10000000.00000000
= 255.255.128.0
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 150.100.128.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 150 | 100 | 0 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 150 | 100 | 0 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 150 | 100 | 127 | 254 |
| Broadcast | 150 | 100 | 127 | 255 |
| New Network | 150 | 100 | 128 | 0 |
R2<=8,000
8,000<=2n – 2
8,000<=213 – 2
8,000<=8,192 – 2
8,000<=8,190
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 13 = 19 (CIDR value of Router 2 i.e. New network)
i.e. 150.100.128.0/19
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.111 00000.00000000
= 255.255.224.0
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.
so the new network is 150.100.160.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 150 | 100 | 128 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 150 | 100 | 128 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 150 | 100 | 159 | 254 |
| Broadcast | 150 | 100 | 159 | 255 |
| New Network | 150 | 100 | 160 | 0 |
R3<=2,000
2,000<=2n – 2
2,000<=211 – 2
2,000<=2,048 – 2
2,000<=2,046
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 11 = 21 (CIDR value of Router 3 i.e. New network)
i.e. 150.100.160.0/21
N.S.M = 11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000
= 255.255.248.0
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 1 and Router 2 (Virtual Network).
so the new network is 150.100.168.0/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 150 | 100 | 160 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 150 | 100 | 160 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 150 | 100 | 167 | 254 |
| Broadcast | 150 | 100 | 167 | 255 |
| New Network | 150 | 100 | 168 | 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. 150.100.168.0/30
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 2 and Router 3 (Virtual Network). so the new network is 150.100.168.4/30?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 150 | 100 | 168 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 150 | 100 | 168 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 150 | 100 | 168 | 2 |
| Broadcast | 150 | 100 | 168 | 3 |
| New Network | 150 | 100 | 168 | 4 |
2 and Router 3 <= 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 (R2&R3))
i.e. 150.100.168.4/30
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 150.100.168.8/?
Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
| Given Network | 150 | 100 | 168 | 4 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 150 | 100 | 168 | 5 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 150 | 100 | 168 | 6 |
| Broadcast | 150 | 100 | 168 | 7 |
| New Network | 150 | 100 | 168 | 8 |
