If you have a machine with an ethernet port, give it a static IP address on 192.168.1.0/24 -

Say 192.68.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0

Patch it into the switch and open the admin GUI of the switch in your browser

Go into Setup > Network Settings and set the IP Address mode to DHCP

Just let the switch obtain it's IP config for the default/management VLAN from your SHUB/Modem and it will save farting about with DHCP reservations or static addressing.

You will be able to look in the attached devices panel on your hub to check which address the switch has been allocated.
