If i had a block of two class C address, for example.


192.168.64.0/23 a block size of two class C address's


510 hosts?



Would the broadcast address of this block be 192.168.65.255/23 ?



TIA


Class C address starts at /24 and can not be a /23.

Here are some helpful links.

Yes

Yes, the nine host bits are all 1s.

The question is about classless addressing (CIDR/VLSM) so the 2 contiguous "Class C" networks are summarised/supernetted with a /23 prefix.

IPv4 Classful addressing/routing is a legacy approach these days and will eventually become a historical footnote (except when configuring EIGRP and you have remember "no auto-summary").

/23 = 255. 255. 254 (7+1).0 Bits left for hosts are 8+1 = 9

2^9=512 or 510 usable hosts
