i have 8 static ip addresses, but my subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
why is it not 255.255.255.248?

Joe, you have 8 contiguous bridged ip address out of /24 rather than a routed subnet. One advantage to this configuration is that you actually have 8 usable addresses rather than the 5 or 6 that you would have in a routed setup.
