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

Answer : Naming convention for assigning IP's in an internal network

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.
