 - There's no straightforward answer to this question. It depends which address schemes are currently being used and partially also on the network topology (e.g.). Topic included are : ipv4 or ipv6, private or public addresses , DHCP servicing, NAT architecture, internet access requirements, etc....

Hi @JakeAxworthy8694 ,

 

If your internal network is managed with a single network, you could change the network mask to enable more IPs.

If your network is managed with different networks, you could change the network mask of these networks or create a new network to support the new IPs.

In all cases, you must make sure to reflect these changes in the networks allowed to internet and in the routing protocols.

 

Obviously, you must consider how these changes will affect the points indicated by @marce1000 .
