IPv4 Address Planning

  1. Define the requirements
  2. Plan the ipv4 range
  3. Document the plan

Example Standards

  • Statically assign network infrastructure
  • User devices are DHCP.
  • .1 is the default gateway
  • Third Octet: The vlan ID. 10.0.150.0/24 is vlan 150.
  • Forth Octet: Address Assignment type. 1 to 99 are static IPs, 100-200 are DHCP.

Figure out NAT

  • How many IPs are needed?
  • Do any devices need to be reachable from the outside?

Best Practices

  • Address internal hosts with RFC1918 addresses.
