      .1 isn't reserved, it's just a practice that people keep using.

        .1 isn't reserved, but it's the practice that's most used .
        Understood.

          Another is using a utility or print server so that the end point never needs to know the current IP address of a printer.

          Have you found this to work? Even on print servers, I print to IP, and the server print queue is static to that IP.
          I haven't used WSD ports on a server yet - have you?

            yeah, the places I came from used .254 as the gateway - so the whole .1 thing was weird for me.... but .1 is seen by all consumer gear today, and likely most commercial as well.

              Yep I agree with others. Just don't use static IPs at all. If you don't have to use reservations that's even better.

                I haven't tbh. I know about it, but it wasn't worth the investment to implement in prior environments. Now I have nothing to do with it.

                  It's likely best to use DNS names when possible, because - who cares what the IP address is?

                    Yes and it makes restoring servers and services so much easier. It's nearly a must have for good DR.

                              At least his response was helpful. Taking a screenshot of you having gateway to .50 isn't a convincing argument.

                                          He is explaining to me that this company Cybera is setting up a firewall for him at his location and is curious why they would leave it that wide and open without any reserved Static IPS.

                                          If this company is setting up a firewall for him, at the firewall there may not be any additional available IPs to be publicly used. IE the site may only have 1 static IP address provided by the ISP.

                                          It's unusual that they wouldn't have more than just the 1 IP address, but it's possible that their network is just packed. Do you know if he is being given an IPv4 or IPv6 public address for the firewall?

                                          As for internally, usually, you'd want to set your address pool to cover the expected usable devices, rather than just wide open .1-254.

                                          You might have DHCP pool from .100-254 if you don't have a large number of devices and then anything from 1-50 could be a reservation.

                                          Obviously something within the range needs to be the gateway so you'd take one address for that. (presumably from outside of the pool).

                                            The point is that everything in that subnet should be in the DHCP pool. Make a reservation if you need it
