If the backhaul is in a chain, we generally put their management IPs in
a /30 from the local router. So there is a separate /30 at each end of
the link.
If the backhaul is in a cul-de-sac, we might put them in a /29 from the
near-end (the end closest to the backbone). However, we mostly do the
/30, as it is an easy way to prevent the management IPs becoming part of
a public route.

I had initially thought having the radios in the same subnet is how it
is supposed to be, primarily because thats how it always was, but with
having the radios in a /30 on each side of the link you would be able
to access the local side radio if the link were to drop.
Is this the correct way of looking at this or is there a better method
of maintaining access in a dynamic environment??
