I have little to no experience with Vlans. I just ran into one on my Cisco routers this week!
Seems like a much easier setup, but is it the right way to do it?

How much do you know about VLAN's? Can you think of any use for them? How many sites do you have? The quick and dirty solution is to change the subnet mask... The more robust solution might include VLAN's... On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Jeff Johnson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I am in need of more IP addresses on my network. My current network looks like this: 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0 I am using 248 IP's currently, so I have very little expansion available. I do see the potential to increase in the following year, so I had better get my butt thinking about this soon. Plus I have Christmas and New Year's holidays that I could work with no one on our network for 3 full days. I am thinking about changing my subnet to something like 255.255.254.0 or 255.255.252.0. Would this be a good way, or would I be better adding an additional router and just creating a new 255.255.255.0 network on 192.168.2.x? I guess my question is which is the "correct" way?
