Because the IP address of ezConfig is same as default network/management VLAN IP address on M5300.
So the old IP address will lost when input a new one just like configre new IP address on same port.
There is a configuration alter about management IP address of ezConfig like below:(SW1) #ezconfig

Hi Aesterling,
Welcome to NETGEAR community！:smileyhappy:
Could you tell us the module of the switch?
For console port manual.
You can find it form install guide as following link:
Thanks Daniel_Z,
The switch is a M5300-52G3. I hadn't run the CLI ezconfig because I wasn't sure if it would reset the port configuration that I had previously setup. This morning I did run ezconfig and found that the switch has lost its static ip, network mask, and gateway settings. After I entered those the web interface is working properly again!
Why would have those settings been reset without any user intervention?
Thanks for the help!
