Hi,
I have never used this suite of switches although they could be very useful
say in a small site etc.
Looking at the link to the products Q & As
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/small-business-unmanaged-switches/qa_c67-584063.html
Your question is answered like this
Management
Q. How do I configure and manage the Cisco 100 Series Switches?
A. Cisco 100 Series Switches do not require any configuration or management. Simply plug in the Ethernet cables and power cord and the switch is ready to be used.
Q. Can the switches be managed remotely?
A. No. They are unmanaged switches and do not offer any management options.
So NO IP address is used or required
