I didn't doctor the copy/paste (except for redacting the MAC address)... Weird, now I've been nerdsniped.
EDIT: No, this makes sense... but is also worse: Network address is
1.2.3.4, usable IP range is1.2.3.5, 1.2.3.6and broadcast is1.2.3.7... Which means they're assigning the network address somehow. And I guess somehow the router/remote device just says "ok"... I'm leaving this alone lest I lose more of my sanity.(Also there are lots of parallel subnets and, to the best of my knowledge, no firewall doing anything meaningful between them... shrugs)
Wait! You're right... I misread that, because everything is abbreviated and I don't look at ifconfigs that often
"brd" is broadcast
"inet" is the real IP plus the netmask
Wtf!
