Howdy,
I intend to use my brand new IPad Pro for field work.
That requires frequently switching between a bunch of networks - all static adresses. Ideally I just select the network (settings) I need and hit OK.
I have not found and app for IOS that would provide that functionality.
So, is there a way to programatically set IP, network and gateway?
Thanks
Oskar

No.
The best option for dealing with infrastructure-less networks is to support link-local addressing [1]. This is properly supported by iOS but, alas, a lot of network hardware hasn’t caught up with that concept yet.
Share and Enjoy
