Question regarding tunnels and IP addresses

If a solution within a lab requires the creation of a tunnel, would it be
better to use the command "IP address unnumbered LO0" to give the local side
of the tunnel an existing IP address. Or create an IP address using an
address from a within a the greater subnet range i.e use 10.240.21.0, if
10.240.0.0 is being used in the internetwork. I know this depends on the
requirements of a given lab, and sometime we are told to not create IP
addresses unless explicitly stated.

 

Just want to get peoples thoughts.

 

Thank you.

 

Peter.
