The general rule in networking is that the network id cannot be all zeroes or all ones, and the host id cannot be all zeroes or all ones.
The all zero address results in a reserved address meaning "this network".
The all ones address is a broadcast address, and cannot be assigned to a single system.

Ould a network administrator assign to a network address of 172.30.1.0 if it were possible to have up to 254 hosts?
No, end devices cannot have .0 address assigned to them. It loosely refers to the entire network subnet.
What represents a network address that all hosts on a network must read?
broadcast address
Do the number of hosts that can be assigned stay the same when prefix changes?
no having a different prefix number changes the host range and broadcast address for each network
What are Hosts on a network?
Any computer which is connected to network and has unique ip address for the network.
A network administrator is building a network for a small business that has 22 hosts the ISP has assigned only one internet routable IP address which IP address block can the network administrator use?
The administrator can set up a Local Area Network (LAN) behind a firewall in which he can assign whatever IP address block he wishes. The firewall and router will then need to be configured to Network Address Translate (NAT) the 'hidden' internal IP addresses used on the LAN to the one assigned by the ISP when network traffic needs to leave the LAN.
What defines an IPv4 logical network?
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
Which type of address sends messages to all network hosts?
That is called a broadcast address.
What is the range of usable IP addresses for 10.150.100.96 27?
That leaves us 5 bits for the host (32 - 27 = 5); the size of the network is 25 = 32 IP addresses, that is, addresses 10.150.100.96 - 10.150.100.127. The first and last address are not usable (can't be assigned to hosts), which leaves us with addresses 10.150.100.97 - 10.150.100.126.That leaves us 5 bits for the host (32 - 27 = 5); the size of the network is 25 = 32 IP addresses, that is, addresses 10.150.100.96 - 10.150.100.127.

A host on your network with an IP address of 84.161.11.312 is trying to contact another host on your network with an IP address of 84.173.200.1012 There is no router between the hosts Network comm?
Depending on the subnet masks, these hosts may or may not be able to directly communicate.
What is host ip number?
A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address. Typically a computer, but it may also be a printer, a switch, a router port.A "host IP number" is an IP number that can be assigned to a host. This excludes the first and last IP address of each network, which can't be assigned to hosts.A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address.

What is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address?
The subnet mask is used for this purpose. It indicates how much of the address is for network, and the remaining part is for the hosts.
What is the network id for 192.168.1.1?
A network with an IP address 192.168.1.1 is a class C IPv4 network address in the network 192.168.1.0 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0, capable of supporting 253 hosts.
