So the only option is to wait three minutes until the previous login times out before attempting to reconnect again.
What a great user experience especially if there's multiple switches that need deploying!

@gorplop Nope! At least not externally, I'm sure there's a header on the board somewhere tho

@snep @gorplop I will stand by my assertion that any "managed switch" without a serial port is, in fact, what's colloquially known as a "'smart' switch." 🙄
(One can probably glean my opinion of "'smart' switches" from this, and bear in mind that I have several deployed in my home. 😒)

@jima @snep @gorplop I concur about managed vs smart.

@snep temporarily configure DHCP server to return the same 192.168.1.1 IP?

@drscriptt Perhaps an ad-hoc dnsmasq instace with a simple DHCP config on the laptop I already configured 192.168.1.1 on to initially connect would work, in addition to adjusting the firewall on it, but honestly, that only marginally improves the user experience, if at all...

@snep valid option.
Working around questionable design decisions.
