As the network engineer, you are given the following IP address information: 172.16.8.159 / 255.255.255.192. Identify the broadcast address
A) 172.16.255.255
B) 172.16.8.127
C) 172.16.8.191
D) 172.16.8.255
C
Explanation: C) The correct answer is 172.16.8.191 because the resident subnet ID in this case is 172.16.8.128.28. You can find the subnet broadcast address based on the subnet ID and mask using several methods; if we follow the decimal process in the book, in the mask 255.255.255.192, we make the interesting octet be octet 4, with magic number 256 - 192 = 64. For the three octets where the mask = 255, copy the subnet ID (172.16.8). For the interesting octet, take the subnet ID value (128), add magic (64), and subtract 1, for.191. That makes the subnet broadcast address 172.16.8.255.
