Actually no.

I had found that portion, but got frustrated with them
calling "hostnames" as "IP addresses".  Not the same
thing.  Hostname is before the IP address is resolved.

And "192.168.2.12/29" which only gives you a single IP
address with its subnet mask.  The above line shows that
you do not need the subnet mask.  xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24
tells you  all the IP's from xxx.xxx.xxx.1 to 255

Can I get away with 192.168.222.0/23?  That would
be 192.168.222 to 223. 1 to 255

Thank you for helping anyway.
