I need 3 distinct zones which is why I wanted to separate them out. In any case, I was wondering about the status of the 1 /8 and the 100 /8 networks. What does it mean that they are IANA reserved? Reserved for what? http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space
It means (like what has happened recently with 69/8 and others) that they're not in use YET. Eventually, they will go from Reserved to RIR assigned and you will have reachability issues if your lab is ever connected to the internet.
Anyone else ever use IANA reserved address spacing for lab networks? Is there anything special I need to know?
There's an awful lot of RFC 1918 space. How about using some of it? http://69box.atlantic.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
