Ok, I'm kinda lost, but most times I'm completely lost.
Here's what I think I know: A /30 entitles the user 2 non routable, and 2 routables... Let's use 10.0.0.0/30 as our example.
So the first & last are used as the network and broadcast IPs. 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.3
So that leaves 10.0.0.1 and .2
.1 is (I'm told) used as the interface from the isp to 'talk' to .2 which is setup at the clients end.. their gateway... using a netmask of 255.255.255.252
My confusion lies in the network and broadcast. I understand why 10.0.0.1 needs to talk to .2 but why does 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.3 need to be there? Network/Broadcast..what are these two IPs doing ? Broadcast sounds like it broadcasts whatever 10.0.0.2 is doing as it sends the packets of info out.. is the Network (10.0.0.0) the recieving end of the equation ?
boy I hope my question is clear cuz I'm lost!
