  1. Question 1

    Q1. A network using TCP/IP protocol suite has a host with IP address 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. What is the broadcast address?

    • A) 192.168.1.0
    • B) 192.168.1.255
    • C) 192.168.0.255
    • D) 192.168.1.100

    Answer: 192.168.1.255

    Explanation: Broadcast address is calculated by performing bitwise OR operation between IP address and inverted subnet mask. Inverted subnet mask is 0.0.0.255, so broadcast address = 192.168.1.100 OR 0.0.0.255 = 192.168.1.255.
