Memo on Subnet Allocation

December 2, 2004 (see addendum below)

This document defines our official class C subnet allocation scheme. It was carefully designed to provide optimal manageability, efficiency and simplicity. It's been refined and proven over a decade in small businesses & branch offices environment. All sites must adhere to it to minimize unanticipated conflicts and limitations in various scenarios.

 

Bravo Class C (/24)Subnet Address Allocation

1 ( 1) primary gateway


DHCP scopes are universal across clients sites and BTC

2-50 (49) primary DHCP scope
51-99 (49) auxiliary DHCP scope


100-199 (10) static range, clt use
100 ( 1) primary server
101-109 ( 9) additional servers and key stations
110-119 (10) print servers
120-159 (40) workstations
160-189 (30) reserved (auxi gw, alt-site/HSBS/hm scopes, etc.)
190-199 (10) auxi gateways


200-254 (55) static range, btc internal use
200 ( 1) BTC primary server
201-209 ( 9) additional servers & Key stations
210-219 (10) printers
220-239 (20) workstations
240-254 (15) reserved (auxi gw, etc.)


Reserved DHCP by MAC in static range, or start at top-of-scope

February 28, 2008

In addition to address allocation within a subnet, we now officially publish and adopt a global subnet allocation scheme. That is, all client sites are centrally coordinated and registered, in a systematic, non-overlapping manner, for the purpose of establishing conflict-free fully/partly-meshed gateway-gateway VPNs.

This enables Bravo to establish VPNs with any subnet within our jurisdiction without any disruptions to existing networks, either on a permanent basis for actual operations, or temporarily for diagnostics purposes. In other words, we now raise VPN-readiness pre-planning to the next level, in keeping with our decade-long philosophy and policy of treating and managing all client sites as branch offices.

Multi-location clients sites setup per our new policy will benefit as this advanced infrastructural foresight eliminates costly and stressful subnet retrofitting, prompted by cross-site VPN deployment.

Bravo HQ uses the following subnets in-house:

  • Red: 74.34.x.x/30 (3x addresses, privately disclosed, not published)
  • Green: 192.168.100.0/24
  • Orange: 192.168.0.0/24 (also utilized by legacy single-location sites)
  • Purple: 10.0.0.0/24
  • Black: 192.168.111.0/24
  • White: 192.168.222.0/24

All client site subnets are maintained at our internal registry and not publicly disclosed.
