Since I'm a cheater:
I used to get my DHCP address and set it statically. Then I could add
extra IP's in common subnets for device management. My default gateway
goes with the office IP, so I have LAN/Internet access, but since my
computer also has 192.168.1.x and 169.254.1.x and 192.168.0.x I can
reach the default IP's on things just by plugging them into the LAN.
So I guess the stupid/simple thing is use a static IP in your office,
then add secondary IP's on all of the likely management networks.

I think I will re-create the scripts and icons.
They were simple and worked well. Just took a bit of study to create
them in the first place.

Multiple NICs? Maybe get a USB ethernet dongle for the laptop. Also,
if you can access your internal networks via WiFi, that would fix that
issue. Of course, this all assumes that your various IP subnets don't
conflict or overlap in any way.

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?
