8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS908E

Reenable the DHCP Client of the Switch

If you disabled the DHCP client of the switch and changed the IP address of the switch to a fixed (static) IP
address, you can reverse the situation.
To reenable the DHCP client on the switch:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. Select IP Address (Fixed IP).
The IP address fields display. The button in the DHCP section displays white because the DHCP client
of the switch is disabled.
5. Click the button in the DHCP section.
The button displays blue, indicating that the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. The IP address fields
no longer display.
6. Click the APPLY button.
A pop-up window displays a message.
7. Click the X in the pop-up window.
Your settings are saved. The switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. Your switch web session might be disconnected when
you enable the DHCP client of the switch.
