The ProSafe Plus Utility is obsolete (End-of-life) and should - leaving a few exceptions aside where no Web UI is available, or if guided by support to update e.g. the boot loader - no longer be used. Note: This utility was removed from the User Manuals a longer time ago already. Preferred way is to use the Web UI all over. By default, the protocol used by the utility is no longer active, except for the pure discovery.
An no: The problem isn't caused by the fact the ttfp is udp based.

But how can you find the IP of the switch you want to access if using just the web UI? Please keep the explanation simple as I’m very new to all this and everything I’ve read so far when seeking help assumes that the user invented string theory, in fluent Klingon.

Or better quick y power off the switch and on again when connected to your home router LAN IP subnet.
