Step 7: Managing the Switch through a Web Browser or the

PC Utility for Initial Configuration

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. You can use the ports

without using the management software. However, the management software enables you to setup

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, you can configure the Smart Switch using a Web

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

managing the switch, see the Software 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.
