Using DHCP/BOOTP
If your network provides DHCP/BOOTP services, you can configure the stack to be
dynamically configured by these services.
Web
– Click IP, General, Routing Interface. Specify the VLAN to which the
management station is attached, set the IP Address Mode to DHCP or BOOTP. Click
Apply to save your changes. Then click Restart DHCP to immediately request a new
address. Note that the stack will also broadcast a request for IP configuration
settings on each power reset.

Note:
If you lose your management connection, make a console connection to the
Master unit and enter “show ip interface” to determine the new stack address.
CLI
– Specify the management interface, and set the IP address mode to DHCP or
BOOTP, and then enter the “ip dhcp restart client” command.
