Note:
The switch will also broadcast a request for IP configuration settings on each
power reset.
Note:
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.
