HI DaneA
Thanks for your link. I was also familiar with this link but was unable to open a terminal session. Frankly I have no clue on how to do this with a USB interface. Nevertheless the problem is solved. It was somehow a misalignment of the DHCP server. The switch received a IP address which was already been used and therefore was not able to get a valid IP address. This morning its behavior was correct an it received a free IP address.
Thanks for you help.
