I just installed snort ( or at least it is in process)  and it is asking me
about  the address range of the network. So I ran ifconfig and see that it
is on the 10 network. I know  I could put any numbers in there but I want
to understand.... I'm thinking I will put 10.0.0.2/8. Will that work? Why
will it or not work.
