The convention is probably to do what your teacher did! In my case, servers at the bottom, routers at the top, printers and stuff under routers and DHCP gets the rest. A C class network gives you 254 addresses which can be divided, for example, into 1-16 for servers, 240-254 for routers, 224-239 for printers and 17-223 for workstations. That should give you room to grow. Basically, the actual numbers depend on your needs, of course, but the arrangement indicates how I like to keep track of things. The host name - at least for servers - has some kind of logical link to the IP address, too. Price: $0.02 Value: that's another question! mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
