Match each subnet component for the IPv4 network 172.16.30.0/24 with its corresponding IP address.

Answer

Network address - 172.16.30.0; First usable host address - 172.16.30.1; Last usable host address - 172.16.30.254; Broadcast address - 172.16.30.255

Explanation

### Why this is right A `/24` block has 256 addresses, from `172.16.30.0` through `172.16.30.255`. The first identifies the network and the final address is its broadcast address. The addresses between those endpoints are available for hosts in the conventional subnet described. ### The pairs | Item | Matches | Why | |---|---|---| | Network address | `172.16.30.0`, identifies the subnet | The first address marks the beginning of the subnet and is not assigned to a device. | | Broadcast address | `172.16.30.255`, reaches all devices on the subnet | The final address sends traffic to all devices in that subnet. | | First usable address | `172.16.30.1`, first address available to a host | It follows the reserved network address. | | Last usable address | `172.16.30.254`, last address available to a host | It precedes the reserved broadcast address. | ### Terms - **Subnet**: A defined group of IP addresses treated as one logical network. - **Host**: A networked device that can send or receive traffic. - **Broadcast**: Traffic addressed to all devices on the subnet. ### Remember In this `/24` example, the usable range is between the network and broadcast addresses.
