How To Configure EIGRP – VLSM
Given network: 210.100.50.0
Required hosts on Router 1= 50
Required hosts on Router 2= 12
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. 210.100.50.0/26
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 210.100.50.64/?
Now find FVH, LVH, and broadcast address
| Given Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 0 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 1 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 62 |
| Broadcast | 210 | 100 | 50 | 63 |
| New Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 64 |
R2<= 12
12<= 2n – 2
12<= 24 – 2
12<= 16 – 2
12<= 14
Total number of network bits = 32
32 – n = 32 – 4 = 28 (CIDR value of new network i.e. Router 2)
i.e. 210.100.50.64/28
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 2.
So the new network is 210.100.50.80/?
Now find FVH, LVH, and broadcast address
| Given Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 64 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 65 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 78 |
| Broadcast | 210 | 100 | 50 | 79 |
| New Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 80 |
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. 210.100.50.80/30
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 210.100.50.84/?
Now find FVH, LVH, and broadcast address
| Given Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 80 |
| First Valid Host-FVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 81 |
| Last Valid Host-LVH | 210 | 100 | 50 | 82 |
| Broadcast | 210 | 100 | 50 | 83 |
| New Network | 210 | 100 | 50 | 84 |
