Only in the host part,all the bits will be 1.

For,192.168.1.0/24  network

subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0

Broadcast address will be 192.168.1.255

Now, we shell convert the broadcast address into binary

192 in Binary- 11100000

168 in Binary- 10101000

1    in Binary-  00000001

255 in binary-  11111111

So only in the host part all bits will be 1.

That's correct for an IP network broadcast (or directed broadcast).  A full IP broadcast all bits are 1.

For,192.168.1.0/24  network

On such a network, you might try:

ping 192.168.1.255

or

ping 255.255.255.255
