Broadcast address: 172.30.127.255 is the correct answer. The process of finding the broadcast ID when the mask is neither 255 nor 0 is more complicated. In order to find the broadcast ID you have to find the network ID multiplier. The network ID multiplier can be found once you subtract the 256 – last octet from the mask that is neither 255 nor 0. The subnet mask is 255.255.192.0, so the network ID multiplier is 256 – 192 = 64
The possible subnet IDs are:
172.30.0.0
172.30.64.0
172.30.128.0
172.30.192.0
In this case, the network 172.30.64.0 is it as the IP address of 172.30.70.26 belongs to that particular network IP range.
The IP address range of the network is 172.30.64.0 – 172.30.127.255 (the next address 172.30.128.0 is the next subnet ID)
The broadcast address is the last address of the network so, the broadcast address is 172.30.127.255
