you must go back to the Express Setup and General tab, set the new IP address, and download to the controller.

Gateway Address A gateway is a router or other network device through which the switch communicates with devices on other networks or subnetworks.
The gateway IP address must be part of the same subnet as the switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot
be the same.
