I’m setting up DHCP reservations on my home network and came up with a simple schema to identify devices: .100 is for desktops, .200 for mobiles, .010 for my devices, .020 for my wife’s, and so on. Does anyone else use schemas like this? I’ve also got .local DNS names for each device, but having a consistent schema feels nice to be able to quickly identify devices by their IPs.

    I put them into groups, servers, consoles, computers, phones, smart devices, media. Between 10 to 20 per range.

    Everything else the dhcp server gives out ip over x.x.x.150 so easy to see new stuff.
