Ok I have a single network, but want to setup multiple subnets and for management purposes I want my computer to access all 4 subnets. I have multiple switches and am confused on the gateway configuration or if what I want to do is possible.
Subnet 1:
192.168.1.x
255.255.255.0
Subnet 2:
192.168.2.x
255.255.255.0
Subnet 3:
192.168.3.x
255.255.255.0
Subnet4:
192.168.4.x
255.255.255.0
I wish to keep devices on each subnet isolated, so devices on subnet 1 cannot communicate with devices on subnet 2, 3, or 4. Same for the devices on the other subnets.
Now, from a management perspective I would like to set my computer IP address to something like:
192.168.0.10
255.255.0.0
So I could jump subnets w/o chaning my IP address. But I know I need a gateway to do this, but I do not have a router. I have managed switches (layer 2) in each network so can I configure one of these switches as the gateway to allow me access to the other subnets?
If so, would the switch need to be setup:
192.168.0.1
255.255.0.0
Then my computer IP address end up bing:
192.168.0.10
255.255.0.0
192.168.0.1
It's not critical, just looking for a way to limit the hassle of changing my IP address on my laptop. There is no r
