You mean like RFC 5737?

The blocks are: 192.0.2.0/24 (TEST-NET-1), 198.51.100.0/24 (TEST-NET-2), and 203.0.113.0/24 (TEST-NET-3)

For IPv6 use 2001:BD8::/32 as defined in [RFC 3849](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3849). – Clemens Bergmann Jan 24 '19 at 07:41

No, just use any of the RFC 1918 Addresses and you'll be fine. The other optino i've seen in documentation is the form: 1.2.3.4 and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I am not aware of an IP address equivalent to "foo" and "bar", but I could recommend using the 10-net range since it is not routable and reserved for internal networks. Since you can use the entire 10.x.x.x set, it would prove perfect for just about all scenarios.
