ITT: What are you people even arguing about?
Meanwhile my gateway is
fe80::17a9:3ba7:5¥4🐔:b8ä7%42Wait is there an existing unicode to ipv6 method. I assume it would just be the bit values of the emoji in utf8?
fe80::“hello 🐔” aka fe80::6865:6c6c:6f20:f09f:9094
I approve of the idea of cursed ipv6 notation.
sup
There’s nothing preventing the gateway from being a DHCP client, just saying…
oh my god
i love this idea so much. I’ve been doing networking for 13 years now and I’ve never considered a dynamically addressed gateway
Gateway is .69
Dhcp is .70 - .254
Static routes are .68 and below
I will not be taking any questions
About twenty years ago I was hired in to straighten up a network at a investment place. They were running all static IP addresses and the guy who set it up set the gateway to 69. I laughed and started converting them to dhcp and seriously considered leaving the gateway alone.
I have to ask a question now. My question is, is that you?
Gateway has multiple IP addresses, from .1 through .10 . (I used to have multiple OpenWRT servers for different things, but consolidated them all into a single rackmount server.)
The “gateway” is 69. Noted
No no no, the period comes first, .69
Gotta get your red wings.
My home server is at 192.168.1.230 because that’s what IP was assigned to the machine at the moment I set it up.
Yep. Love that chaos, ya know?
DHCP gave me 170. I said “let’s make this static shall we?”
Lol mine is .116 for the same reason
Lol, same-ish, lazy gang ftw.
There are dozens of us
10.10.10.70 here. There was a reason in the distant past that I did this and now it’s stuck that way forever.
Last address? Who the heck does that???
I’ve had modems from my ISP which assigned themselves 192.168.0.254 for some reason. I have no idea why
My new fibre modem is .254. It was a bitch to get into (whatever the mode’s called that makes it a simple gateway).
Bridge mode?
It’s called multicast and it’s for spamming every device on the network /s
It’s called multicast
Don’t confuse the broadcast address with multicast!
hey, don’t you blame multicast for the sins of others! Multicast and Anycast are under witness protection!
10.10.0.254 here, because I wanted my main rig to be .1
I work for a French company that does this, I don’t know if all French companies do this, but it threw me for a loop for sure.
10.0.0.0/8 address space with a gateway address that gets randomized every 24 hours. Tomorrow’s address is advertised on a HTTP server local to the network that cannot be externally accessed. For security reasons.
That’s the kind of overengineering I was hoping for!
Nothing advertises hostnames, and the DHCP table is dumped and every client gets new address at the same time, too.
Just make sure the MAC addresses randomize, too, and then you’ve got yourself a proper fucking mess for a hacker to sort out.
Throw in some random static DHCP leases that cycle every hour and update the firewall rule alias
I use 10.13.37.42 as my gateway.
First address? As in, the network address? Last address? As in, the broadcast address? Suspicious.
*First Usable Address. Obviously u can drop the usable part.
This guy networks
I used to have my gateway as part of the DHCP range until an openwrt update broke that
Just set the Gateway to use DHCP.
Settle down Satan
So statically assign all IPs except for your gateway?
Spread them out, you want to avoid signal interference!
Bonus points for using a /16
192.168.0.2 😤
Literally seen this in the real world too.
RIP
