on each power reset.

If you lose the management connection, make a console connection

to the switch and enter “show ip interface” to determine the new switch

address.

Renewing DCHP – DHCP may lease addresses to clients indefinitely or for

a specific period of time. If the address expires or the switch is moved to

another network segment, you will lose management access to the switch.

In this case, you can reboot the switch or submit a client request to restart

DHCP service via the CLI.

If the address assigned by DHCP is no longer functioning, you will not be

able to renew the IP settings via the web interface. You can only restart

DHCP service via the web interface if the current address is still available.

To show the address configured for an interface:

1.

Click IP, General, Routing Interface.

2.

Select Show Address from the Action list.

3.

Select an entry from the VLAN list.
