[MLB-WIRELESS] IP's for Testing and one for type link

[Matt]

If you have two interfaces you'll need an IP for the subnet and another for 
the broadcast address.
So the minimum you need is 4, if you are just testing, apply for a block 
you plan to eventually use, or apply for a /28 between you and the guy down 
the road, or don't bother, if its just a test then you won't be on the 
eventual mesh thus compatibility doesn't matter.

eg

10.10.48.32/30
IP              Mask
10.10.48.32     255.255.255.252 Subnet Address
10.10.48.33     255.255.255.252
10.10.48.34     255.255.255.252
10.10.48.35     255.255.255.252 Broadcast Address

the next set of numbers you can have is
10.10.48.32/29

10.10.48.32     255.255.255.248 Subnet Address
10.10.48.33     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.34     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.35     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.36     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.37     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.38     255.255.255.248
10.10.48.39     255.255.255.248 Broadcast Address

followed by
10.10.48.32/28

10.10.48.32     255.255.255.240 Subnet Address
10.10.48.33     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.34     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.35     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.36     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.37     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.38     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.39     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.40     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.41     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.42     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.43     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.44     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.45     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.46     255.255.255.240
10.10.48.47     255.255.255.240 Broadcast Address
