Most network operators use a loopback address on their routers and/or switches to provide an always-up interface. The loopback's reachability isn't contingent on a single, specific physical interface or VLAN interface being up in order for the device to be reachable, providing there are redundant physical and/or logical links from the monitored device to the monitoring station. It's freely IP'able outside of 127.x space.

That's 127.0.0.1 in most of my monitored devices!

Highest numbered loopback IP would be a good start...
