To calculate Network address you should assign "0" " Zero" for Host portion

Ex. 192.168.157.6/24

Since the above IP is Class C last Octet will be the host part

This will be shown in binary as

11000000.10101000.10011101.00000110

.00000000

Then Network address will be 192.168.157.0

To find the broadcast IP you need to add "1" Once for host part

If we take Same IP

11000000.10101000.10011101.00000110

.11111111

The Broadcast IP will be 192.168.157.255

What is the difference between a Network address and Broadcast address?

When you set up a sub network you decide upon the subnet mask and this determines the network address (all zeros in the subnet portion of the address) and the broadcast address (all ones in the subnet portion of the address). When you assign the host addresses in your subnet, then you use the addresses between the network address and the broadcast address.


When a dhcp server is configured which two ip address should never be assignable to host?

Network or subnetwork IP address. Broadcast address on the network


Why does a network host need to broadcast an ARP request?

A host on a network needs to broadcast an ARP request to advertise its Mac address. The networking world is very chatty in nature and when a new network host is available it immediately broadcasts its Mac address as with a ARP message. Also when a particular network host needs to send a data packet to another network host available in the same LAN whose Mac address is unknown, the first network host sends out a ARP message requesting for the destination network hosts MAC address.


Which address in a network cannot be assigned to hosts?

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.


A new PC was deployed in the Sales network It was given the host address of 192.168.10.31 with a default gateway of 192.168.1?

192.168.10.31 is the broadcast address for this Subnet


How many host can you have for 10.20.50.0 subnet mask 255.255.255.0?

253. Valid addresses would be from 10.20.50.1 to 10.20.50.254 10.20.50.0 is the network address. 10.20.50.255 is the network broadcast address. Any network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 will support 253 hosts.


What are subnet broadcast addresses?

This could be a couple of things, but you are likely referring to TCP/IP protocol broadcasts. A broadcast address is when a data packet is sent to a special address to which all nodes on the network are supposed to accept and optionally respond to. While a broadcast address is defined for the entire network, this is not implemented in practice. For an IP subnet, the last address in the subnet's address space is the broadcast. For example, if my subnet is defined as 192.168.1.0/24 (very common for consumer network hardware including Wi-Fi), this defines the following: the network itself is identified as 192.168.1.0, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (24 binary 1s in a row), the usable host addresses are 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254, and the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255.


What is Network and Host portion in an IP address?

Here are 3 facts about the network portion of an IPV4 address. 1. identical for all hosts in a broadcast domain 2. varies in length 3. is used to forward packets


Subnet calculation for ip address 172.16.2.130 and subnet mask 255.255.255.128?

network: 172.16.2.128 Broadcast: 172.16.2.255 usable host range: 172.16.2.129 thru .254


Do the number of hosts that can be assigned stay the same when prefix changes?

No, changing the prefix of a subnet will affect the number of hosts that can be assigned. A smaller prefix will result in fewer hosts, while a larger prefix will allow for more hosts to be assigned.


What is the maximum number of bits that can be borrowed with class b?

The maximum number of host bits that can be borrowed from a class A address is 22 (technically you could borrow 23 but the resulting network would be useless). A class A address uses 8 bits for its network address and 24 bits for its host addresses. Class A uses a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 You can only borrow 22 bits (instead of 24) because a valid network requires 4 addresses: A network address, two host addresses and a broadcast address. These networks would result in 30 bits used for the network address and 2 bits used for the host addresses. These networks use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252


What is specified by the host bits in an IP address?

The network part of an IP address indicates the network to which the host belongs. The host bits or host part of an IP address points to the actual device that has an IP address on the network. It can be a computer, printer, router or any device with an IP address that has the same network part.
