Step 7: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC

Utility

The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it

works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used

without using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of

VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the

improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.

After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a Web

browser or a utility program called SmartWizard Discovery. For more information about

managing the switch, see the GS716T/GS724T Series Software Administration Manual on the

Smart Switch Resource CD.

Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already configured on the

device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
