Your computer automatically defaults to an 169.254.n.n address if it
is running a DHCP client and does not receive a response from a
DHCP server. To have a DHCP client assign the address,
disconnect your computer from your network, power it on, wait for
the DHCP client to generate the IP address 169.254.n.n, and then
connect the computer to your new 8100S Series switch.
