When you are setting up a virtual address can it be anything?

@mary said in IPv4 Addresses - CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Prof Messer:

When you are setting up a virtual address can it be anything?

No, you dn't jsut make things up.

You have to build things that can talk to other things. So you designed and plan a network scope (subnet) for everything.

Beyond that, there are no technical restrictions on what network range you use to create your network.

[JaredBusch]

That said, there are 3 networks designed per the RFC to never be routed across the public internet.

10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/12
192.168.0.0/16

You design your local networks to use addresses within one of these ranges.

I'm sure there is a video for this.
