My problem is i inherited some hardware from prior admins. Some of it I didn't need to touch immediately.
One such piece of hardware is a netgear smart switch that presumably has a web interface. The problem? I think it is IP restricted to an address for our development staff that has changed IPs in the past year. (i.e. I no longer have any access to the old IP/connection)
I have confirmed the IP address of this device and have access to the hardware itself (it is co-located in a datacenter up the street). I can do a UDP scan with nmap and see ports I expect to see such as snmp, ntp, tftp, etc. and it sees the MAC address and confirms it's Netgear hardware. The problem is that doing a tcp scan shows no port 80 or 443, and running a tcp scan of 'all' ports showed nothing open.
I have reason to believe they used to access it using the web interface and checking the documentation on the netgear website, it does appear to have the ability to set 'access rules' that filter the web interface to only be accessible from a pre-configured list of IP addresses.
Since I can connect directly to the switch, I'm wondering if I could drag a raspberry pi over there, and perhaps another machine connected to it (or not if it's not necessary) and set up some way to make the switch 'think' a connection is coming into it from the old IP so I could access the web interface and change the access rules to the new IP.
