      Not sure of the benefits or bad things about it but what

      If 🌶 is working right now, adding an additional range will not help if you already have them in the same network.

        Unless you have an insanely large subnet.

          I think what your asking for is VLANS, otherwise how will you differentiate between phone and PC. you can use MAC address IP reservation, but thats it.

          I have VLANs already. 1 for Wired, 1 for Secured WiFi (Profs and Staff), and 1 for Students and Guests.

            Why split your phones off into their own subnet?

              That's the reason for the post. Is there a benefit?

                  Also believe me , do not enable 🌶 on a VoIP VLAN as it will not find the phones since they cannot scan port 5060 and it will just fill your network with scans to every single possible IP on that network.

                    /16

                    That is not what I scan through 🌶 though

                      Using multiple ranges can actually improve performance of the scans because it doesn't have to load 2million IP addresses.

                      And you can put them on different schedules.

                        Oh, that's a problem. No network should be that large. /20 maybe, /21 sure. But /16 is so many times bigger than that.

                          Not to splitting, no. But to not scanning them, yes.

                              @wls-itguy are you actually trying to make a separate subnet or just organize them in a section of you existing subnet?

                                I'd be all for a separate range. But see no point in what was mentioned here for a separate VLAN.

                                  PC info and Network info. Ticketing as well. I know SodiumSuite does all that as well.

                                    If I could organize them within the subnet so 172.16.1.x/16 is the range and if all phones (FreePBX system) could get 172.16.5.x and all PCs goes 172.16.1.x range that would be great. I don't think that is possible though.

                                        If not, will that be a feature that will happen?

                                          @wls-itguy Does the scanner from 🌶 inventory these systems?

                                          I thought SodiumSuite does but I'd defer that to @Sodium to answer.

                                            No, does not scan devices on which it cannot be installed.
