AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 93

You want to send a broadcast message to your 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, which one of these addresses should you use?

Answer options

• A. 10.0.0.255
• B. 10.0.0.1
• C. 10.0.0.2
• D. You cannot send a broadcast in an AWS VPC.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because AWS VPCs do not allow broadcast traffic. While 10.0.0.255 is the broadcast address for the subnet, in an AWS VPC, broadcasts cannot be sent. Options A, B, and C are valid IP addresses, but they do not serve the purpose of broadcasting within the VPC.
