What is the purpose of RFC 1918?
RFC 1918 was used to create the standards by which networking equipment assigns IP addresses in a private network. A private network can use a single public IP address. The RFC reserves the following ranges of IP addresses that cannot be routed on the Internet: 10.0.
What is a valid RFC 1918 CIDR prefix?
RFC1918 Subnets 0.0 – 10.255. 255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16. 0.0 – 172.31. 255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
Can a VLAN interface and a tunnel interface have the same IP address?
Yes, using IP unnumbered.
What three blocks of addresses are defined by the RFC 1918 for private network use?
10.0.0.0/8.
How many RFC 1918 addresses are there?
Private IPv4 addresses
| RFC 1918 name | IP address range | Number of addresses |
|---|---|---|
| 24-bit block | 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 | 16777216 |
| 20-bit block | 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 | 1048576 |
| 16-bit block | 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 | 65536 |
What is a valid RFC 1918 CIDR prefix that can be used for creating an Oracle cloud infrastructure virtual cloud network?
For a CIDR block, Oracle recommends that you use one of the private IP address ranges specified in RFC 1918 (10.0. 0.0/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16).

What are three blocks of addresses are defined by RFC 1918 for private network use?
10.0.0.0/8. 172.16.0.0/12. 192.168.0.0/16.
Is RFC 1918 traffic routing through the WAN interface a problem?
While the chance of this being a problem is small, the probability of unintentional RFC 1918 traffic routing through the WAN interface will increase for installations with more complex LAN topologies, a large number of users (typos, etc), or routes that may frequently change (VPN, etc).
What are RFC 1918 addresses?
RFC 1918 addresses are blocks of network IP addresses reserved for private use. These addresses are commonly used behind firewalls to allow a single public IP address to be shared with multiple devices using NAT.
How do I bypass the RFC 1918 firewall rule?
The RFC 1918 firewall rule needs to be bypassed with a specific pass rule above it, or disabled, if clients inside the LAN require access to this type of device. On the interface options ( Interfaces > WAN, for example) there is an option to Block private networks.
How do I know if my ISP is blocking RFC 1918 traffic?
Some ISPs assign private network addresses to their customers and perform their own NAT for customer traffic to the public internet. Verify this by looking at the WAN interface IP address on the dashboard. If the assigned address is from one of the private IP ranges listed above, RFC 1918 traffic should NOT be blocked.
