# Increase Network Subnet CIDR To Add More IP addresses in Subnet

## Problem

### Can the network subnet CIDR be changed from /24 to /22 to add more IP addresses in the subnet?

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
* Neutron

## Answer

* For an existing network, there is currently **NO** option in OpenStack which allows changing a network's subnet CIDR range. However, one can log in to the Clarity UI and *Edit* the existing subnet details like *Name, Gateway IP, Allocation Pools*, etc as shown below.![](https://support.platform9.com/attachments/token/NrNXtjnH2k1kR6VRoa8ubgyXD/?name=Screen+Shot+2020-02-05+at+7.25.28+PM.png)
* Also, to accommodate the extra IPs, you can create a new subnet within the same network with a */22* CIDR range by navigating through the *Network* section in the UI. $plugin\[emk72c2nbl8]
