Hi Steve
Thanks for your comparing thoughts !
You are on a similar way like me but with somewhat different =

numbers but also well grouped and structured !!

You are absolutely correct: =

I also need to keep mine simple ;-))

When I started with my SMC router together with the cable modem =

some years ago I also set the router to 254, the dynamic systems =

(guests and tests) to 216-219 and and the static (own systems) to =

221-225.

At that time a single printer was connected to the router's printer =

server on 254 too.

Again later I changed to a NETgear PS-113, 3-port Printserver =

and assumed that I will use 251-253 ...
=2E.. but learnt that the printserver needs only one TCPip address !!!

Now, with an xDSL modem and with my coming WL AP I am =

reconsidering the number structure again to keep it simple.
I was thinking of it's real sequence i.e.:

first the modem =3D 101
second the router =3D 111

then the small dynamic group =3D 121-29
then the static systems =3D 131-39

then the printservers =3D 141-14x

as for the AP I thought of =3D either 22x or 23x

Is my consideration and thinking correct ???
Or do you suggest something better ??

TIA for your brainstorming feedbacks ;-)
Have a nice Sunday eveneing

structure !?

Also posted to SCOUG list, but it seems to be slow/down at the moment.
-----------------------

Svobi:
=

I think a scheme like yours could be a good idea =

and I use one myself. I need to keep mine simple, =

because I rarely need or want to re-configure anything. =

It's hard to remember what I did last time. =

------------------------------------------------------

192.168.123.001 - 010 DHCP for windows machine and sometimes
laptops/wireless AP. =

192.168.123.011 - 254 Static =

192.168.123.254 SMC Router/firewall box with built-in
printserver =

192.168.123.253 Printserver for LaserJet =

192.168.123.252 Printserver for tabloid ("B") size color inkjet
=

192.168.123.251 Reserved for future printserver =

192.168.123.250 Reserved for future printserver =

=

If I need more DHCP addresses, I'll start taking them out of the BOTTOM =

of the Static range. I like the idea of having my printers on a static
IP.
It seems like it might help to make troubleshooting easier. The Router
had =

to be on a static IP, so that set the pattern for the rest. =

I set the wireless AP for DHCP passthrough, rather than fixed IP. =

Most folks these days seems to expect to plug it in and have it =

work, without any further fuss -- me included. So I set the fixed =

hardware to Fixed IP and the moveable hardware to DHCP. =
