it's ok you oppinion , but in that case you "moved" all traffic of
servers,printers etc of the new clients throught that router wich can be
worst than the broadcast. Modern switces can limit the broadcast, multicast
and collisions.

equipment. You just add a LAN Router into the system and create the new
segment off of the router's other interface. The new segment at first would
have nothing on it at all. You would then move Hosts to the new segment
over time as needed and according to if there is a logical reason to move
any old Hosts to the new segment.
You can't take as much time as you want to finish it from that point.

Create a new 254 host network and put a router between them. IP segments
need to stay below 250-300 hosts for ethernet to remain efficient. This is
the case for Ethernet even if it wasn't running TCP/IP and was using
IPX/SPX or something else. Ethernet functions by broadcasting,..the more
hosts, the more broadcasts,...the more broadcasts the less effiecient. It
isn't about just PCs,...routers, switches, and other network devices
generate a load on the wire as well.
Using masks that are lower bit than /24 (more than 254 hosts) are for
supernetting over backbones where it is then broken down into smaller IP
segment at a down stream router.

We are running out of IP address for the standard 255 255 255 0 range.
If I re subnet my DHCP to 255 255 254 0 will I have to change every
device that is using a static IP?
