Question : Naming convention for assigning IP's in an internal network
|
|
I'm in charge of reconfiguring a small business network and I'm not sure of the naming convention for assigning IP numbers in my internal network. What ranges should I use for servers, switches, routers and client computers? if you could just give me a URL that'd be great.
Thank you

I don't think there really is a "standard", but the convention that is commonly used in a lot of environments looks like this.
.1=Gateway .2-.10= other routers .11-20=other LAN hardware (switches, VOIP etc) .21-40=Servers .41-50=Network printers .51-254=DHCP scope
Of course the is a lot of variability, but putting the static hardware low and the DHCP scope high is most common.
