S350 Series GS324TP
Home LAN basically as shown in diagram. Has been working well for a couple of years using an unmanaged 8-port Linksys (LGS108P). 8-ports no longer enough, so I'd like to replace switch with a Netgea...
Looks like the switch was powered-on before it was connected to your router Ethernet or LAN port.
The DHCP client does not endlessly wait or repeat the DHCP attempt endlessly. At that point it will fallback to the default LAN IP address which is 192.168.0.239/24. The most easy way is toggling the power while connected to the router resp. the LAN.

thanks Schumaku,
I've rebooted and from the network adaptor it looks like it now has an address in the correct range. But that IP,
192.168.1.34 doesn't reach the web browser interface of the GS324TP – just gets a "Safari can't open the page because the address isn't valid" error.
However, ping test from terminal does give a response:

FWIW, I've tried Netgear Switch Discovery Tool but it's drawn a blank even when I was connected via a browser earlier - not much use.
got there in the end. just took a while to appear.
