Implement VLAN's over an existing large B Class
i have purchased a new HP 5308XL for my company.
Now the internal LAN are a large class B network, and all client and server are on the class :
ALL PC and SERVER on 172.29.0.0/255.255.0.0
Now i want to implement VLAN to reduce broadcast that is too high.
I think to modify the large class B into more small VLAN like this :
VLAN1 172.29.1.0/255.255.255.0
VLAN2 172.29.2.0/255.255.255.0
but my question is:
is possible to implement this VLANs that are part of the existing class B 172.29.0.0 ?
Machine on the old class B can be co-exist with the new VLANs?
I can't migrate all the machine in one time, but periodically.
Thanks a lot for support.
Have the best time.

Re: Implement VLAN's over an existing large B Class
Additional to Matt's suggestion, Routing feature between the Vlans should be enabled on the 5300 Switch.
Good Luck !!!

Re: Implement VLAN's over an existing large B Class
Since you only have one subnet, I assume you have noo router on your premisses, except for the internet router. In order to use more subnets in your LAN and have computers from various subnets communictae to each other, you will have to have an inter-VLAN router (which can be Layer 3 switch), that can perform routing at high speeds.
You could use another private class B network for subnetting: like 172.28.1.0/24;
172.28.2.0/24 - these will give you 254 hosts per subnet (or 172.27.1.0/23; 172.27.3.0/23 - which will give you 510 hosts per subnet) to make your change. Just define these scopes in your DHCP server, define the new VLANS and associate one IP subnet from the above to VLAN interfaces, and then progressively move hosts from your original subnet 172.29.0.0/16 into these new subnets.
I would further suggest to plan your subnets for these needs:
1. management 254-host subnet for your switches (I would use VLAN1 of all switches for this)
2. printer 254-host subnet, in which to put all printers and print servers (to minimize routing traffic in the inter-VLAN router)
3. one or more 254-host subnets for company-wide servers, for all servers you may have (to be able to control access to your servers) - this may require to re-assign IPs for your servers, but you might want to keep 172.29.0.0/16 for this purpose, since it will not have so many broadcasts once you managed to move all other devices in their respective subnets
4. one or more subnets for your PCs (you might want to use 510-host subnets for this, to minimize your work on future Access Control Lists and DHCP settings, since broadcasts in 510-client segments is totally acceptable
5. one 254-host subnet for direct internet access and no access to your internal LANs (for the guests your company may have that require only internet access)
Also you could use subnets to keep different departmets of the company, since Finance and Engineering departments of your company might have differing requirements. To minimize inter-VLAN traffic you could put departmental servers in the department's subnet. This might work well if you have managed switches in which you can define VLANs in all your wiring closets.

Re: Implement VLAN's over an existing large B Class
with the ip proxy-arp command, now inside the small VLANS i can see the old big class B network....it's ok!!!
but some servers in class B (like mail server) don't see machines on your class B network. His arp cache not have the right arp address of some machine...but take the arp address of my switch hp 5308xl and is no good.
When i disable ip proxy-arp on switch, on my VLANS i can't communicate.
any suggestions?
