As others have explained you dont need an IP#, however like i said
"kissattach does".
Linux is free, you can use it free of charge, the only thing is linux asks
you to comply with certain rules, one of which is;
When attaching an interface it must comply to those certain rules, one of
which is an <IP> address in "every" interface.
Note, IP is in braces, MAC address, other address, as long as it is an
address, rule is, IP# in kissattach.
Like your name, whats in a name, you are called Charles, but you yourself
call yourself Chuck. So what the heck. As long as it all works.
Node, its up to you, you said you know how to configure Xfbb.
