I made two subnets that overlapped a 192.168.2.0/25 and a
192.168.2.0/26.  It looks like it split the /26 in half as 192.168.2.24
is the last reserved when viewing the /26 acting as the broadcast from
the /25. My question is.. why did racktables allow me to do this?  

It should say, "hey idiot you overlapped a network wtf is wrong with
you?" 

I hope this question is clear and my understanding of subnetting is
correct. Thank you for your assistance. 

Thank you,
Bryan
