Yeah, I've got sites with only 10 PC's and 10 users and they still give 'em the a whole 256 address block. They don't care because it's all 10 dot inside and nat'ed.

So one office is 10.1.1.0-255, the next is 10.1.2.0-255, the next 10.1.3.0-255, and so on.

Switches and routers are all x.x.x.0-10, servers x.x.x.11-20, printers x.x.x.21-35, etc. Spare static IP's for growth are x.x.x.36-50, and user DHCP starts at x.x.x.51 and up.

No reason to the scheme other than just to standardize all the sites a wee bit. :)

Thanks John,
So, if I read this correct, all clients are >a.b.c.51?
But, I do see that you do limit your routers to the bottom of the range. Like I asked. No biggie. I am getting ready to do battle with ATT about
their local service......
Wondering.  No change planned ATM.
Thanks,

No.. At my last job they had all the routers at x.x.x.254, and now we have them all at x.x.x.1. Just standards and differing numbering schemes. :) We reserve the first 50 addies for routers, switches, printers, servers etc, and start DHCP addressing for each site at x.x.x.51.. -- JRS [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please remove **X** to reply...
