Given Network: 196.50.50.

Required hosts on Router 1= 100
Required hosts on Router 2= 60
Required hosts on Router 3= 30

R1<= 100
100<= 2n – 2
100<= 27 – 2
100<= 128 – 2
100<= 126

Total number of network bits = 32

32 – n = 32 – 7 = 25 (CIDR value of given network i.e. Router 1)
i.e. 196.50.50.0/25

N.S.M = 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000

= 255.255.255.128
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 196.50.50.0/?

Now find FVH, LVH and Broadcast address
