Is a class B network a good option for us?


our company small 1 , steadily growing towards mid size. have 200 or users. naturally have run out of ip addresses , must redesign entire ip schema.

our plan implement class b subnet whole network ranges belonging kinds of devices/machines/servers.

there cons this? if so, link me documentation explains this? read online isolating broadcast domains, require huge cost new routers , such. feel our size not justify cost of isolating broadcast domains right now. if there huge cons having class b network now, helpful know.

can offer insight?

you not going see "con" creating class b network.  see network begin "slow" down add more , more computers network.  while may have switched infrastructure, 1 class b network still going in same broadcast domain.  means (as may know or have read) broadcast packets delivered hosts in subnet.

so, if grow double size, after few years , compensate gb switches, may not notice of difference.  aware con cannot work-around without creating vlans.
