Question Networking #101

Hi all,

Can you guys and girls confirm this is correct?

I've been give this info:

A block of 5 static addresses:
xx.xx.xx.49 thru to xx.xx.xx.53
Subnet: 255.255.255.248

Network Address: xx.xx.xx.48
Router/Hub address: xx.xx.xx.54

Now - I'm assuming if thats correct that the routers WAN IP should be static on xx.xx.xx.54 - what address do I give a firewall? Should I use the xx.xx.xx.49 address or can I use any from the static block?

What device would I assign to the network address, or what's it purpose?

I kind of understand but just want it to be clear in my head!

Cheers

Lee
