<P>Explain your reasoning behind allocating looback addresses first please.&nbs
p; I thought it would be better to allocate them last so that they are the high
est addresses on the routers.&nbsp; That way your RID's wouln't change if you r
eboot etc.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Yea, I do.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Don't try and get all scientific about it. Even though you've sp
ent alot of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;time mastering the VLSM concept, it's easier to read routing tab
les if you
<DIV></DIV>&gt;keep things as simple as possible - using incrementally higher n
umbers in
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the 3rd octet for example even though you may have /24 /25 /26 /
27, etc. As
<DIV></DIV>&gt;long as the network portion of your addressing is different for
each subnet,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;you won't have any overlapping issues. Also, before you start ty
ping or
<DIV></DIV>&gt;writing, take into account if you are going to use loopbacks and
 allocate
<DIV></DIV>&gt;those subnet numbers first. Hope that helps.
