Mango router profiles through side switch

[Mongo]

Hi
I have a Mango router that has been very useful to me. I use it to talk to some equipment locally. I need to change IPs on the unit for different devices. I would like to use the switch on the side to change the Mango’s IPs. Is this possible? Where would I start if its possible?
Thanks

Edit the script file located at /usr/bin/switchaction. Add code to change the IP address within the file.

Never done this before. Could you point me to an example please?

Here is an example.

GL-AR300M side switch - swap between VPN providers

Script to switch between wireguard server: #!/bin/sh # Read the current value of main_server main_server="$(uci get wireguard.@proxy[0].main_server)" # Get the index of the current main_server option index=$(uci show wireguard | grep -n "main_server=$main_server$" | cut -d ':' -f 1) # Get the names of all the peers peer_names=$(uci show wireguard | grep -o "name=[^ ]*" | cut -d '=' -f 2) # Get the number of peers num_peers=$(echo "$peer_names" | wc -l) # Find the index of the current main_…

To accomplish this, you will need to use basic tools such as ssh, vim, scp.

Thanks for the example, buts thats beyond my skillset. I just want to make switch position 1 set the IP as 192.168.0.2 with gateway 192.168.0.1 and switch position 2 and 3 different IP’s to talk to some equipment I have…

reference shell code:

if [ -n "$(grep -o "BTN_1.*hi" /sys/kernel/debug/gpio)" ]; then
	switch_right=1
	# add code to set ip and gateway
elif [ -n "$(grep -o "BTN_0.*hi" /sys/kernel/debug/gpio)" ]; then
	switch_left=1
	# add code to set ip and gateway
else
	switch_middle=1
	# add code to set ip and gateway
fi

Here the code that will help you out. if you need help, ask chatGPT, it can guide you.

#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$(grep -o "BTN_1.*hi" /sys/kernel/debug/gpio)" ]; then
	switch_right=1
	uci set network.lan.ipaddr='10.0.1.1'
    uci set network.lan.gateway='10.0.1.254'
    uci commit network
    /etc/init.d/network restart
elif [ -n "$(grep -o "BTN_0.*hi" /sys/kernel/debug/gpio)" ]; then
	switch_left=1
	uci set network.lan.ipaddr='10.0.2.1'
    uci set network.lan.gateway='10.0.2.254'
    uci commit network
    /etc/init.d/network restart
else
	switch_middle=1
	uci set network.lan.ipaddr='10.0.3.1'
    uci set network.lan.gateway='10.0.3.254'
    uci commit network
    /etc/init.d/network restart
fi

Thanks for the direction. I was able to get the file above modified and into the router, but I dont see changes in IPs when moving the switch.

Please use the script overwrite /usr/bin/switchaction file.
