Subnetting question

I came along a question about subnetting. When using a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0 is the ip address 173.32.3.255 a valid host address?
The answer stated it is, but I doubt this is correct. The subnet is 173.32.2.0 /23 with valid host addresses of 2.1 up to 3.254. Isn't 173.32.3.255 the broadcast address of network 173.32.2.0 /23 ?

Or did I overlook something?

IP address : 173.32.2.0 /23
or subnet 255.255.254.0

ip network add is 173.32.0.0 since this is a class B
so the the number of bits you are borrowing is 7 bits for net and 9 bits for host.

256-254 = 2 this is your starting subnet 2,4,6,8,10,12,etc..... multiples of 2.

ip address range is 173.32.2.1 to 173.32.3.254
my broadcast is 173.32.3.255. since the next is a subnet 173.32.4.0.

Anyway Just want to check if it's correct, actually I'm practicing for my next week intro exam.

Anyway can you help me with this. I want to subnet the 10.0.0.0 /24.
I want to know the list of subnet I can use and list of IP addreass range and also the broadcast.
