Question : private IP ranges
|
|
Are these the only private IP ranges I can use on my LAN:
A. 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 B. 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 C. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
I would like to change my local IP range from the defaults provided by my hardware manufacturer.
Are there any other things I should consider when selecting my LAN IP range?
Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages to selecting one range over another (besides total number of addresses available for DHCP)?
Thanks OB

That is a good idea. I would choose a random number a use a network range such as 10.35.1.0/255.255.255.0. Note that you are not using the default class A netmask of 255.0.0.0. There is no need to and if you get other offices etc... in the future you can use 10.35.2.0/255.255.255.0 for it. That way you have a very small chance of clashing with someone else while still leaving plenty of scope for expansion.
