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 connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the device management password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The
password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. Select IP Address (Fixed IP).
The button bar in the DHCP section displays gray because the DHCP client of the
switch is disabled.
5. Click the button in the DHCP section.
The button bar displays green, indicating that the DHCP client of the switch is
enabled. You can no longer change the IP address fields.
6. Click the APPLY button.
A message displays to confirm that the IP address settings changed.
The switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as
a DHCP server) in your network. If the IP address of the switch changes, you web
session disconnects, and you must log back in to the device UI.
