  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a network, a host is assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. What is the broadcast address?

    • A) 192.168.1.255
    • B) 192.168.1.0
    • C) 192.168.1.100
    • D) 192.168.1.1

    Answer: 192.168.1.255

    Explanation: Broadcast address = IP address OR (NOT subnet mask). NOT 255.255.255.0 = 0.0.0.255, 192.168.1.100 OR 0.0.0.255 = 192.168.1.255.
