192.168.1.1/24, 10.0.0.1/8 vs 10.0.0.1/24?

Hey!
I’m thinking of redoing my homelab’s network infra and have been wondering, is there actually any difference between those ip’s ranges?
I just guess 10.0.0.1 looks better :innocent:

Does not matter which RFC1918 network address you use, all down to your preference.

I would not use 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 as these are used by most generic routers and if you want to setup site to site vpn you will have issues.

/24 allows 254 devices on the network, where /8 only allows 16,777,214 hosts - stick with /24 networks

So maybe 10.0.0.1/24 ?

It’s all private network so you can use any of it. 10.0.0.1/24 will work.

I use 10.1.1.0/24 for my main LAN, making my edge router 10.1.1.1. Rationale? Type 10.1.1.1 a hundred times, then type 192.168.27.1 a hundred times and see how your hands feel afterward. :grin:

Yeah, I switched to 10.1.0.0/16, a lot better :wink:
