the switch.

5. Log on to the switch with the new IP address and immediately save

your configuration by selecting Save Configuration to Flash from the
menu on the left side of the page.

If you enable DHCP and then save your configuration, you save the IP
address on the DHCP server.

If you disable DHCP, enter a new IP address, and then save your
configuration, you have saved the DHCP setting and the new IP
address on the switch.
