    Hi hshah96,

     

    I believe you will need to set the IP address of the GS108PEv3 switch within the IP range of your existing network.  I would assume that the GS108PEv3 switch is directly connected to a router which is the DHCP server.  Kindly try the steps below:

     

    1. Disconnect the GS108PEv3 from the existing network.  

    2. Connect a PC/laptop to a LAN port of the GS108PEv3.

    3. Set a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 on the PC/laptop.

    4. Open a browser like Google Chrome or Firefox then at the address bar,  type 192.168.0.239 then press Enter. Login to the user interface of switch. Enter "admin" as the username and "password" as the password.

     

    Note: The GS108PEv3 default IP address is 192.168.0.239.

     

    5. The Switch Information page displays. In the DHCP Mode menu, select Disable.

    6. Enter a static IP address that is within the IP range of your existing network in the field provided as well as the corresponding subnet mask and default gateway then click Apply.

     

    Note: You will lose access to the web-GUI of the GS108PEv3 because you have just change its IP Address which is normal.

     

    7. Connect a LAN port of the GS108PEv3 to your router.  

    8. Set your PC/laptop to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically."  Then connect it to a LAN port of the GS108PEv3 . 

    9. Open a browser like Google Chrome.  Then, at the address bar of it, type the static IP Address you have set to the GS108PEv3 then press Enter.  If you are able to access it, then it means that the GS108PEv3 is now a part of your existing network.

     

    Note: You may also perform a connectivity test.  Open command prompt on your PC/laptop then ping the static IP address you have set to the GS108PEv3 (for example: ping 192.168.1.18 then press Enter).  If you receive replies then it means that the GS108PEv3 is reachable within your existing network. 

     

    Let us know the results.
