Recommended Address Ranges
• The management network is network-address prolific. It is not host prolific. A
Class C address range should be a first choice, but with subnetting Class A and
Class B addresses can also provide a large number of network addresses.
Essentially, any non-Internet range of addresses can be used. An Internet
address range can be used
providing there is no gateway to the Internet.
Example address ranges include:
• Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
• Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
• Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
• The non-Internet class B address space 172.16.x.x is not appropriate for radio
networks except at the connection point to NOC LAN segments.
• The address range of 192.168.255.0 to 192.168.255.255
must not be used
as it
is used for internal (embedded) addressing within 9500 MXC.
