GS110TPv3 Static IP Help
Please forgive my lack of networking knowledge while I try to work out if I have the necessary hardware to do this.
I have a GS110TPv3 smart managed switch installed in a AV rack for broadcasting use and I would like to configure it so it can be used with any router for WAN access. One router to the next that I connect to will be in a different venue and the IP addresses they allocate the devices I connect to my switch will vary, and I do not have control over the ranges or addresses.
I require the devices I connect to my switch to have static IP addresses so that I do not have to reconfigure the communications between them every time I am connected to a different WAN network. Is this possible? Can I set some ports to use static IP addresses defined by the switch and others to use DHCP?

Stronögy suggest to keep the LAN on a common IP subnet, hopefulla unuyed at many different venues, according to the RFC1918 private IP subnet scheme.
Since there is no DHCP server on this GS110TPv3 Smart Managed switch model, use the router LAN config to define the IP address pool for the intended subnet.
You can operate of course static and DHCP addreses on an subnet or broadcast domain, but these have to match your NAT router LAN subnet.
What you expect and ask for is typically not a Smart Managed Switch feature
Never use a NAT router WAN port to connect the LAN, unless you exactly know what you are doing, e.g. in a router bridge mode config, so the venue network does take over the DHCP and IP addressing.
Plese tell us more about the intended usage, we're happy to help.
