following procedure:
1. Add the GS950/28PS V2 Switch to the DHCP server. The MAC
address for the switch can be found on a label on the back panel. The
switch’s configuration on the server should include an IPv4 address,

is the IP address assigned to the unit by the DHCP server. If you do
not know the address, refer to the DHCP server.
