How about this? Microsoft has finally implemented an official way to use both Static and Dynamic IP simultaneously on one NIC. Reportedly, this feature was added in Windows 10 Creators Update 1703.
The key to using this feature is the new dhcpstaticipcoexistence parameter in netsh. https://trae.sk/view/34/ https://superuser.com/questions/679134/add-a-static-ip-alias-to-a-dhcp-interface-on-windows-8-and-above From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of ch...@wbmfg.com Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 8:25 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] a basic question EXTERNAL EMAIL - Use caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or sharing sensitive information. 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?
