Change Class C IP Address to Class B Ip Address
Recently we have customer request to help them to merge the network from 3rd floor to 1st floor, because their company are merging together so that they want in the same network. Before that we have purpose them using firewall to plug in and do the routing and also can control the traffic but they strongly request they want make it on same network.
For the 1st floor now already facing IP insufficient to use issue,if now they merge together sure the have issue.So we are planning to help them change the network to class B private address 172.16.1.0 ,172.16.2.0 ,172.16.3.0 .But I don’t know how the DHCP to handle those IP ?We can use Window server to create the scope 172.16.1.100 to 172.16.3.100 ,so that all the client able to get ip from 172.16.1.100~254 …then go to 172.16.2.1~254 then go to 172.16.3.1~100.
Please advice
192.168.1.0 = 3rd floor (DHCP server in Window Server)
192.168.0.1 = 1st floor (DHCP server in router)

Hi,
For DHCP part I prposed to keep it at router side since the scope is already 192.168.0.1 which will need only the mask change and I mentioned that Windows DHCP will be easest to use!
So what you will need is to modify the current DHCP scope at windows or creat a new one the range will be 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.254 unless you have some reserved IP also you need to make sure you changed the mask on all staticaly defined nodes (routers, servers...)
Regards.

Pretty good idea just to change the subnet mask , this will reduce my job for the user site like all the printer mapping and network drive mapping.
Good luck
