What is the network and broadcast address?
• Network Address: The first IP address in a subnet, used to identify the subnet itself.
• Broadcast Address: The last IP address in a subnet, used to send messages to all devices within that subnet.
Example: For subnet 192.168.1.0/24
• Network Address: 192.168.1.0 → identifies the subnet
• Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 → sends messages to all devices in the subnet
So the Usable IPs: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
• Broadcast Address: The last IP address in a subnet, used to send messages to all devices within that subnet.
Example: For subnet 192.168.1.0/24
• Network Address: 192.168.1.0 → identifies the subnet
• Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 → sends messages to all devices in the subnet
So the Usable IPs: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
