My home network has
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 my workstation has dynamic ip currently 192.168.1.117
I want to connect to a device (an old zebra printer) with static ip and subnet and gateway setup as follows:
ip 10.10.43.109 subnet mask 255.255.254.0 gateway 10.10.42.1
the device is connected to the same switch as my computer
the documentation says issue the following and you should be able to telnet to it:
route add "device ip" "workstation ip"
However, this is not working for me.
Is it because the subnet mask is different, or because it is a completely different subnet ?
Is there anyway I can telnet to it without having to buy a router or an additional network card?
In addition, I went to my isp routers settings and saw I could create a secondary "public" subnet, I guess for guests. However, it did not allow the 10.x.x.x range for that.
