Re:IP Addressing

[Kishor Bhagwat]

hello, This refers to your other mail "ip and subnet" also....a few observations: Do u really have so many hosts on each floor that u need to choose a /16 subnet? If not, then this is a wasteful use of Ip address space. I hope u have concluded that floor-wise subnetting is the best option after studying ur traffic pattern. The easiest thing for u would be to trash this addresing scheme, and go for a completely new scheme.. I suggest : All routers and servers on 192.168.1.0/24.(of course, i'm totally ignoring your assigned IP from the ISP :-) ) 1st Floor : all hosts on 192.168.2.0/24 2nd Floor : all on 192.168.3.0/24 3rd  Floor : all on 192.168.4.0/24 and so on And to make things easier administratively, mebbe u could just use dynamic addressing floor-wise.... regards, kishor     >Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 14:11:50 GMT >From: "SH Wesson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: IP Addressing > >I currently have one floor where my routers and servers are.  These are >address as 10.100.1.x and 10.100.2.x addresses with a subnet of /16.  I'm >adding two more floors.  However, in adding two more floors can I address >these floors as for instance 10.100.11.x, 10.100.12.x, 10.100.13.x, and >10.100.14.x with a subnet mask of /24.  I'm confused as to how this may work >if I have them all at a /24 subnet mask, a /16 subnet mask in the current >floor and /24 subnet mask in the new floors, or even changing everything >including the existing floor and new floors all to reflect /24.  Any help >with this ip address stuff and how the new floors can be integrated would be >greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
