The simplest and least-intrusive method I can think of would be to use mobile arp. Simply add 'ip arp mobile' or whatever the exact command is to the router interface leading to that switch. Then perhaps an a static host route on that same interface pointing to that oddball IP address. That would allow you to access that specific IP address without causing any other routing issues should you be using that same subnet somewhere else in your network.

A colleague started looking into the case and found that he couldn't connect to the switch. (or ping etc) He was able to get to another switch which is directly connected. Using CDP he was able to see that the switch is incorrectly configured with the wrong IP address. The real subnet is 10.235.x.x but CDP nei det says that the switch has 10.255.x.x configured. Is there a way we can get to the switch and fix it over the wire?
