Hi,<br />
sure they will, if they are in the same octet, i.e. 10.0.0.x 255.255.0.0 will still talk to 10.0.0.x 255.255.255.0<br />
<br />
hope this helps<br />

There is one exception: 10.0.0.255/16 will not work anymore, as that is an invalid IP (it is the broadcast address not assignable to any device).

OK thanks that will. I don't think I have *.*.*.255 IP on any of the devices. The only thing I will do is just change the default gateway. <br />

Thank you.

Hi Experts, <br />
<br />
I have a network that has /16 subnet and most of the hardware like printers are given IP from vlan 1. I want to switch the network to /24 and the IP address of the devices will remain the same. <br />
<br />
Will the devices on the network still work if the subnet on them remain /16? I will slowly change them to /24 with the time. <br />
<br />
Please let me know.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.

Network Operations

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
