IP Rule PositionsReserved addresses are set by their position in the block. Positions start at '1', for the first address in a block, and step up by one for each subsequent IP address. The last position in a block is '0', representing the last address, and steps down a negative integer for each position from last - so the last three addresses in a block would be represented by (0, -1, -2). When reserving multiple positions, the typed order of the positions does not matter. Position examples: (1) - Reserves the first IP (0) - Reserves the last IP (1,2,3) - Reserves the first three IPs (0, -1, -2) - Reserves the last three IPs. (1,2,3,0,-1,-2) - Reserves the first three and last three IPs |
