Using a Dynamic IP Address Allocated to the Switch By DHCP

If this method of obtaining an IP address is used, you will need to have access to a
configuration device that would allow you to see what IP addresses the DHCP
server allocates. Prior to choosing this method of installation, speak with your
network administrator to ensure you will have the correct information available to
you.
By default, the IP address of the device is assigned dynamically.
Log on to the DHCP server and check the IP address corresponding to the Media
Access Control (MAC) address of the switch. On the 24 and 48 port models, the
MAC address is on the back panel of the switch next to the power adapter. On the
8 port models, the MAC address is on the bottom of the device. The illustration
below shows a MAC address of 00211BFE7218.
Once you have the correct IP address that has been assigned to the switch, you
can begin configuring the switch.
Open a web browser. Cisco recommends Internet Explorer version 6 or higher, or
Firefox version 3 or higher.
