Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a network has the IP address 192.168.1.0/24, what is the broadcast address?
  • Step 1: Understand the IP address format. The IP address 192.168.1.0/24 means that the first 24 bits are used for the network part, and the remaining bits are for host addresses.
  • Step 2: Identify the subnet mask. A /24 subnet mask means that the first 24 bits are 1s (255.255.255.0 in decimal).
  • Step 3: Determine the range of host addresses. The range of addresses in this subnet is from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
  • Step 4: Find the broadcast address. The broadcast address is the highest address in the subnet, which is 192.168.1.255.
  • Subnetting – Understanding how to determine the broadcast address from a given IP address and subnet mask.
  • IP Addressing – Knowledge of how IP addresses are structured and the significance of the subnet mask.
