=>Hello! =>I was wondering what other sys admins do about IP Address =>management. By that I mean, the way (or, which method is commonly =>used to apply addresses for different devices) admins apply IP addresses =>to machines, printers, routers, etc. This there a certian convention used? =>I'm not sure if I'm totally making myself clear on this subject. But =>let's say you have a class C address block (192.168.0.0/24 for example). =>Where would you start numbering things off? At the router, server, etc? =>(router = 192.168.0.1, firewall = 192.168.0.2, server = 192.168.0.3, printer =>= 192.168.0.3 for example). I'm sure people don't apply addresses to =>machines at random, because that would be almost a nightmare to figure out =>what's what (unless you have DNS, or something to map it all out). Router 192.168.0.1 Main Server (DNS, RADIUS, MAIL) 192.168.0.2 NAS Server (PortMaster 192.168.0.3 - 192.168.0.5) -depends on how many you'll have so you can reserve a few IPs Workstations I give from 192.168.0.100 --> they will not be so many! Users who need fixed IP address (192.168.0.200 -->) Well I have 212.22.163.0/24 and I can always get more because we have enough but that is my practical scenario down here... No random allocations and I have a record on who has what IP HTH -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KENYA.
