Precautions to be taken while moving to a different IP subnet (Requirement for more IP addresses)
Hi
We use Window 2008 servers. Our firewall is maintained externally they handle all the routing and I don’t have access to the firewall. The existing IP subnet for our network is 10.14.112.0/22 , which was allocated to our network 9 years ago and we have only 1022 IP addresses at the moment.
Now we are going to expand our network within our premises and we will have more devices on our network like laptop , tablets etc.. In this case as a future proof I think it will better to have a IP subnet which can give us more IP address.
I am planning ask our firewall team to allot me a new IP subnet 10.14.112.0/20 and this will give me 4094 IP address.
If they "yes it is possible" and if they configure and allot this new range for our network.
Is this a good plan to move forward to have more IP address for our network ?
For a smooth transition , what are the precautions that I need to be take within my LAN if I change the IP scheme
Thanks

We do have Cisco L3 switch within our LAN, which connects to a modem and to the fibre network. This switch does the internet routing for our network and I don't have access to this switch and the FW people look after this.
But without specifying the new IP subnet on this L3 switch to NAT, will the PCs in our network connect to the internet.

If I delete the existing scope 10.14.112.0/22 on my DHCP and create a new scope on my DHCP for 10.14.112.0/20
But without the firewall team involvement in configure the NAT on the router for the new IP subnet 10.14.112.0/20.How will the NAT happen on the router for the new IP schema.
Thanks
