Which private IP addresses can I use in my network?
In principal there are 3 private address ranges that can be used. These ranges
are defined in RFC 1918. These addresses are private because they are not
globally assigned.
It is common for organizations to divide it into smaller /16 or /24 networks.
A /24 network for example has the range 192.168.1.0 ... 192.168.1.255 and
has therefore 254 hosts.
A second set of special networks is the Link-Local Address (APIPA or Auto IP)
range. These ranges are defined in RFC 3330 and RFC 3927:
169.254.0.0
255.255.0.0
What is most done wrong, when connecting a GigE camera to a network is
the usage of different network masks for the IP devices (that is GigE camera
and PC with Gigabit Ethernet network card).
Example of 2 hosts in different networks (Host1 could be a GigE camera,
Host2 could be PC or laptop):
IP address range Networks Description
10.0.0.1 ... 10.255.255.254
255.0.0.0
1 class A network
For more information see:
RFC 1918
172.16.0.01 ... 172.31.255.254
255.240.0.0
16 class B networks
192.168.0.1 ... 192.168.255.254
255.255.0.0
256 class C networks
Table 11: Private IP addresses
Host IP address Description
Host1 192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
In this example you can see:
Host2 is in a different network compared to Host1.
Therefore Host1 and Host2 cannot communicate with each
other.
Solution: Take care that both hosts are in same network:
• Either set third number of Host1 from 0 to 1 or
• Set third number of Host2 from 1 to 0.
Host2 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
