One is the media global 255.25.255.255 (all bites =1) and one is the net local one, where all bits of the local part are one. The local part is always defined by the netmask. We have classless networks for a few years now, so netmasks are the only definition on what is local and what not. On 10.0.0.0/30 your broadcast is 10.0.0.3 your network address is 10.0.0.ß and hsts can have 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2.
