It's a little complex and "wasteful" but that hardly matters on a private range. I use 10.x.0.0/16 for my private networks, where x is usually 10 for my home network, and maybe a 20 for a "guest" wireless network if I have one configured. Within 10.10.0.0/16, I use the 3rd octet as a sort of type designator. Routers live at 10.10.254.x Wireless APs get 10.10.253.x Servers live at 10.10.240.x Fixed-address workstations get 10.10.10.x DHCP clients get 10.10.1.x There are some other categories, but I forget them. Specifics are basically a matter of preference anyway, but the overall system has worked well for me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
