connection and enter show ip interface to determine the new

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

switch or submit a client request to restart DHCP service.
Web – If the address assigned by DHCP is no longer functioning,

You can only restart DHCP service via the Web interface if the
current address is still available.
CLI – Enter the following command to restart DHCP service.
