Well, 192.168.2.0/8 is *not* a network. If the prefix length of a
network is eight, then no low-order bits in the last 24 can be one
bits for that network address.
Technically 192.168.2.0/8 can be a *host* address. But it's doubtful
that this could be correct either, since that means all addresses
192.0.0.0 through 192.255.255.255 are in that network and that
encompasses non-homogeneous address ranges in the Internet.
No, 192.168.2.0/8 is plainly wrong.
("Works" is another thing altogether.)
Most probably, you meant 192.168.2.0/24, which is consistent with the
IPv4 RFCs.
