Which of the following IP addresses does not represent broadcast address? a. 10.0.0.255 b. 10.255.255.255 C. 144.16.255.255 d. 173.16.0.255 e. 192.168.5.255 f. 192.168.255.0

Question

Which of the following IP addresses does not represent broadcast address? a. 10.0.0.255 b. 10.255.255.255 C. 144.16.255.255 d. 173.16.0.255 e. 192.168.5.255 f. 192.168.255.0

Solution

The IP address that does not represent a broadcast address from the given options is:

f. 192.168.255.0

Here's why:

Broadcast addresses are used to transmit data to all possible destinations in the network (all host bits are set to 1). The last octet of a broadcast address is always 255 for class C networks, and for class B networks, the last two octets are 255.

Looking at the options:

a. 10.0.0.255 - This could be a broadcast address for a network with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. b. 10.255.255.255 - This could be a broadcast address for a network with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. c. 144.16.255.255 - This could be a broadcast address for a network with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. d. 173.16.0.255 - This could be a broadcast address for a network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. e. 192.168.5.255 - This could be a broadcast address for a network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

However,

f. 192.168.255.0 - This is not a broadcast address. The last octet is not 255, which is required for a broadcast address in a class C network.
