Web-Based Management Interface

Your NETGEAR GSM7224 Layer 2 Managed Switch provides a built-in browser interface that

lets you configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft

Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.

This interface also allows for system monitoring and management of the switch. The ‘help’ page

covers many of the basic functions and features of the switch and it’s web interface.

When you configure the switch for the first time from the console, you can assign an IP address

and subnet mask to the switch. Thereafter, you can access the switch’s Web interface directly using

your Web browser by entering the switch’s IP address into the address bar. In this way, you can use

your Web browser to manage the switch from a central location, just as if you were directly

connected to the switch’s console port. Figure 4-1 shows this management method.
