Chapter 7 Home Networking 98
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP
or it can be assigned from a private
network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can
provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part
of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP
addresses.
 Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always
follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to
RFC 1597, “Address Allocation for Private Internets” and RFC 1466, “Guidelines for
Management of IP Address Space”.
