Re: Loopback use on labs

I have seen a lot of sample labs that have the router loopback as the router
number.

ie
R1 = 192.168.1.1
R2 = 192.168.2.2
R3 = 192.168.3.3
R4 = 192.168.4.4

This helps you keep it straight in my mind what the IP address is of the
router, kinda makes sense.

I can't think of a way to summarize other than;

1=00000001
2=00000010
3=00000011
4=00000100
240=11111000

192.168.0.0 255.255.240.0
192.168.0.0/21

Any thoughts ?

I am trying to theorize on the best way to use loopbacks in the lab. My
goal
is to have easily identifiable addresses so I can spot them quickly in my
routing tables and make reference to them easier for other configs
(tunnels/dlsw etc) However, I expect the need to organize them for
summarization will
be real.

Anyone have any good ideas on the best way to pick these addresses? I'm
assuming using a completely different subnet and additional routing to
propagate its info would be unwise.
