My soho setup is:

1-100 = DHCP

101 = Default gateway

102 - 199 = Unused

201-254 = Static, manually assigned IPs (if any)

I came up with it before I got my Net+. I told myself I'd change it as soon as it caused any problems. That was 12 years ago.

    Mine is 1 for router/gateway, 2-199 is static with 2-9 (technically 1-9) being network gear, 10-19 being servers/related, 20-29 computers, 30-39 phones... all the way up to 100-119 for cameras and access, currently. And then 200+ for dhcp.

    Everything on the network runs dhcp but gets a static ip from the router. If I ever forget to assign a new device, it's obvious since it won't be near the related equipment, and it'll be like 213 or something, sticking out like a sore thumb.
