Hi, You could have something like this: 10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0 # for your 100s 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0 # for your 1000s 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 # for the second warehouse Each network would be capable of handling 65,534 hosts. Also, I don't see any problems regarding mix and match 100/1000. I'd keep them together if they fall into same category/department (workstations?). Here, some links for you: http://jodies.de/ipcalc http://innovation.dc-uoit.ca/kyrytows/subnetting/subnetting.htm Cheers, Mikhail. -- Mikhail Goriachev Webanoide Telephone: +61 (0)3 62252501 Mobile Phone: +61 (0)4 38255158 E-Mail: mikhailg@webanoide.org Web: http://www.webanoide.org PGP Key ID: 0x4E148A3B PGP Key Fingerprint: D96B 7C14 79A5 8824 B99D 9562 F50E 2F5D 4E14 8A3B
