9.1.2 What You Need to Know About Network Setup

The following terms and concepts may help you as you read through this chapter.
IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks
are isolated from the Internet (for instance, only between your two branch offices)
you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three
blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.

Table 23 Private IP Address Ranges

10.0.0.0
10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0
172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0
192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by
a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access
is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your
local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,
you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
