Finding the Subnet Broadcast Address: Binary
Finding the subnet broadcast address uses a similar process. To find the subnet broadcast address, use the same binary process used to find the subnet ID, but instead of setting all the host bits to the lowest value (all binary 0s), set the host part to the highest value (all binary 1s). Figure 14-6 shows the concept.
Figure 14-6 Finding a Subnet Broadcast Address: Binary
The process in Figure 14-6 demonstrates the same first three steps shown in Figure 14-4. Specifically, it shows the identification of the prefix and host bits (Step 1), the results of converting the IP address 172.16.150.41 to binary ...
