OSPF Multi Area Configuration of 3 Routers

Given Network = 192.168.0.0

Required hosts for Router 1 = 50

Required hosts for Router 2 = 20

Required hosts for Router 3 = 6

Router 1 >= 50 hosts

50 >= 2n – 2

50 >= 26 – 2

50 >= 64 – 2

50 >= 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

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/?
