    The IP assignment mode determines if the switch IP information will be manually assigned (static) or be automatically assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The default is Static.

    Cisco recommends that you select Static and manually assign the IP address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address whenever you want to access the device manager.

    If you select DHCP, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the switch. As long as the switch is not restarted, the switch continues to use this information, and you can use the same IP address to access the device manager.

    Note If you manually assign the switch IP address and your network uses a DHCP server, make sure that the IP address that you give to the switch is not within the range of addresses that the DHCP server will automatically assign to other devices. This prevents IP address conflicts between the switch and another device.
