If an employee adds a wireless interface to an unsecured port of a system, they may create a breach in network security that would allow access to confidential materials.
The first and last address in any network or subnet is not allowed to be assigned to any individual host. In the past, the recommended allocation for an IPv6 customer site was an address space with a 48-bit (/ 48) prefix.
