How to merge networks
If two networks (Network1 and Network2) are logically the same, that is computers on the network Network1 can connect to computers on the network Network2, and vice versa, then you should merge the networks:
-
Delete the gateway from the network
Network2.
-
Open the Networks
page.
- Select the network Network2.
- Select Modify.
- On the Network properties page, identify the Gateways section.
-
Select the
Delete
icon.
Make a note of the IP and MAC, because this is the same gateway you need to select in step 14.
- Select Confirm.
-
Open the Networks
-
Add the gateway to the network
Network1.
-
Open the Networks
page.
-
Select
Unknown networks.
If no computers are associated with unknown networks, it will say: No computers on unknown networks.
- Select the gateway (identified by IP and MAC address).
- On the Gateway properties page, select the network Network1.
- Select Save.
-
Open the Networks
-
Delete the network
Network2.

Open the Networks
page.
- Select the network Network2 and select Delete.
- Select Move printers to another network.

Select network
Network1. Select
OK to move the printers to network
Network1 and delete the network
