The switch will also broadcast a request for IP configuration settings
N :
OTE
on each power reset.
If you lose the management connection, make a console connection
N :
OTE
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 IPv4 address configured for an interface:
Click System, IP.
