10.0.0.254/24 is considered bad form as the subnet portion of the IP
address is all zeros....

Given a class-A network with a /24:
     255.0.0.0 network portion
     0.255.255.0 subnet portion
     0.0.0.255 host portion
and so
     10 - network
     0.0 - subnet
     254 - host

Notice that the subnet is all zeros... bad.
