This depends a little on whether the space you currently own is contiguous or not AND just how tight the available space is. It is usually easier to just add another subnet to an interface when you need more space. Of course, if you have the luxury of knowing the historical growth on the tower, then you will have a good idea how much time a /27 will last you (for example). There really is no need to completely renumber unless you have to "return" some IP space to your provider. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
