Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The IP address 255.255. 255.255 is used as a Local Area Network (LAN) broadcast address.
Detailed explanation-2: -In each network, a broadcast IP is assigned only once. It is always the last IP address of the subnet. The broadcast address-where all host bits are set to “1” as already mentioned-is therefore: 192.128. 64.255 in this example.
Detailed explanation-3: -A network number is an ID number that is used to refer to the entire range of hosts when building routing tables. The address that contains all 0s in the host portion is used as the network number and cannot be used to address an individual node. 46.0. 0.0 is a Class A network number.
