How do you organize your DHCP clients? - eviltoast

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.

    They certainly have their limitations. I think the same limits are one the gateway I have(I run my own controller, so a dream machine is overkill). Can’t say I’ve encountered a situation where I need WAN VLANs on a home system, though.

      The “normal” use-case would be that some IPTV providers will have iptv and “internet” on separate vlans
