Class C IP address with Class B mask

by techinfo . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

Hi Guys,
I have an issue now to support a new IP schema for a network. This network is working on class C IP addresses, 192.168.0.0/24, and they plan for future where the number of clients will be more than 300 users, so they want to move to class B. My question is, what about using the same IP address range but with the subnet mask of class B, i.e. the IP scheme will be 192.168.0.0/16. Is it OK to be used or not, and if it is not right to be used, what are the reasons for that and what are the bad results of using IP scheme like this …
Thanks and Regards,
Ahmed
