A host has an address of 100.55.177.99/16. Which of the following is the broadcast address for the subnet?answer100.255.255.255100.55.255.255255.255.255.0255.255.0.0

The broadcast address for the subnet of the host with an address of 100.55.177.99/16 is 100.55.255.255. Here's how you can determine this:

1. Identify the subnet mask: The /16 in the IP address indicates that the first 16 bits are used for the network address. This corresponds to a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

2. Determine the network address: The network address is the 'network part' of the IP address, which can be found by performing a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask. In this case, the network address is 100.55.0.0.

3. Find the broadcast address: The broadcast address is the last address in the subnet, and is used to send data to all hosts on the network. It can be found by changing all the host bits (the '0' bits in the subnet mask) to '1'. In this case, the broadcast address is 100.55.255.255.
