255+ IP Addresses
Hi
I need to setup a network that has 200 IP addresses on day 1, this could
possibly double over the next few years.
Within my business I have a reasonable knowledge of networks and servers, but
compared to an IT specialist my knowledge is nothing. I have setup a few
dozen small networks but nothing on the scale now required.
My question is, if I set up my network using the range of 117.168.1.1 - 172.
168.1.255 (S/N 255.255.0.0), could I then expand my addressing to 172.168.2.1
- 172.168.2.255 when the devices numb greater than 255. If I did this would
all of the devices be able to talk to each other and would I need any
hardware or software to administer this or would the S/N take care of this?
A further question is, if I can do the above is this the correct way to do it
or would you suggest another method?
I hope someone can help me.
Ben
