Building Your Own IP Addressing Scheme
If your network is isolated and will not be connected to any other networks that use IP
addressing, you can build your own IP addressing scheme. If you use your own addressing
scheme, be aware that any connection to another IP network could cause communication
problems on both networks. The IP addresses on the two networks must be compatible. Each
address must be unique.
The following documents have detailed descriptions on how to build your own IP addressing
scheme:

Example Addressing Scheme
On the next page is an example of a class C addressing scheme. Class C addresses allow up to
254 devices to be configured. If you have 254 or fewer devices to be managed on your
network, you can use the addressing scheme shown below. If you have more than 254 devices
to configure, see the referenced documents and use a class B addressing scheme. Class B
allows 65534 devices to be configured.
