Class C subnet close to its limit

$

Hi,

We are getting tight with our IP address range which is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

Reading the following Microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255999

we have two options:

1. Resubnetting

2. Superscoping

Option 1 seems ideal but impossible to accomplish without major downtime.

Option 2 can introduce network performance issues but seems less of a pain. 

We are thinking of moving to 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.2.0/255.255.254.0

I am wondering if the following is possible:

Create superscope in DHCP. Adopt 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.2.0/255.255.254.0 to our existing subnet/range. Gradually move all static and leased devices on to the new ranges and once happy remove the old 192.168.0.0/24.



This is just my theory, I have never played with superscoping and therefore need your opinion.

There well may be a better approach and would appreciate any suggestions.


Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge/experience.

Kamil
