As Vernon Schryver points out 192.0.2.x is designated for just this use.

No real network traffic should be sourced or sinked at this network.

Vendors which ship an out-of-the-box runnable TCP/IP engine are encouraged to ship their products with the factory default IP address 192.0.2.1.

All Internet routers are encouraged to discard any traffic to or from network 192.0.2.0
