The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Supernetting vs. VLANs

Asked by Broxoth in Network Design & Methodology, Network Switches & Hubs, Network Operations

Tags:

I have a good understanding of networking but I'm not really able to answer this question. A current client is running out IP addresses in a /24 network. They will soon be implementing a VOIP solution, requiring more space. On top of that, there is very little structure to the current IP scheme. Up to now I've been planning on a redesign that will allow for a great deal of growth, which is quite possible over the next 24 months. I was planning on redesigning into a /22 network. This client is in one very large building. They are in only the one physical location, besides the odd sales rep working from home.
Is this the best course of action or would it be better to use VLANs to subdivide the network? Why?
