Assigning a /29 subnet: Works but is this the correct way?

Hi all,


I have a /29 subnet from the DC and I have assigned it to a bridge using the very last IP of the range (= the broadcast IP).
Without knowing much about networking I see from other posts that I am supposed to assign a USABLE address of the range (i.e not the last of the whole range).
As it is now it works, but is this the correct way or I will have problems which I can't foresee?

My subnet is:

58.47.218.64/29
Mask 255.255.255.248
Broadcast 58.47.218.71
(IPs are not actual)

The vmbr that I have created is:

--
auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
address 58.47.218.71
netmask 255.255.255.248
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
--

Now from that range the usable IPs should be x.x.x.65 to x.x.x.70 but I am using x.x.x.71 for the bridge.
Will this be ok?

Thank you,
Nikole
