of 211.162.1.0 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the router will forward the packets from WAN1

Application Example
Network Requirements
LAN1 is under the router and it uses network segment 192.168.0.0 /24. LAN2 and LAN3 are under a
layer 3 switch and they use network segments 192.168.2.0 /24 and 192.168.3.0 /24 respectively. The IP
address of the cascading LAN port between the layer 3 switch and the router is 192.168.0.2. Now the
hosts within LAN1 desire to access the hosts within LAN2 and LAN3.
