We use a program called NetSetMan.  It’s inexpensive for commercial use.

Subject: [AFMUG] a basic question

I feel silly asking this but I honestly don’t know if there is a better way.
Willing to risk the embarrassment of a simple answer.

Frequently plugging a laptop into a management port or something.  192.168.1.1  
So I need to set the laptop IP manually to 192.168.1.11 or some such thing.
Then I find I immediately need to connect to some DHCP device and right back to 
the management port.  And then to perhaps check email I need to go to a 
10.x.x.x or a 172 subnet internally.

Once upon a time I wrote some scripts and associated them with icons to 
reconfig the ethernet IPV4 settings to various things I need to access from 
time to time.
Is there a better way where I will never have to change configs?
