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). Anyways, I just wanted to know if there are any undocumented standards or conventions to the application of IP addresses. Thanks!
