False. A broadcast address is not an address assigned to end devices on a network. Instead, a broadcast address is a special address used to send data to all devices on a specific network segment. When a device sends data to the broadcast address, all devices on that network segment receive and process the data.
For example, in IPv4 networks, the broadcast address is usually the highest address in the network segment. For a network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (which allows 254 usable hosts), the broadcast address would typically be the last address in the range, such as 192.168.1.255.
Therefore, a broadcast address is not assigned to individual end devices but is used for broadcasting messages to all devices within a particular network segment.
