This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR ProSafe M5300 Switch and accessing the user interface. This chapter contains the following sections:
•Switch Management Interface on page 9
•Web Access on page 9
•Understanding the User Interfaces on page 10
•Interface Naming Convention on page 17
Switch Management Interface
The switches in the NETGEAR ProSafe M5300 family contain an embedded Web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. M5300 Series devices function as simple switches without the management software. However, you can use the management software to configure more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.
Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using a standard Web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software products. From your Web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as VLANs, QoS, and ACLs by using the Web-based management interface.
Web Access
To access the M5300 Series management interface, open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.
You must be able to ping the IP address of the M5300 Series management interface from your administrative system for Web access to be available. If you did not change the IP address of the switch from the default value, enter 192.168.1.1 into the address field.

ProSafe M5300 Switch
Accessing the switch directly from your Web browser displays the login screen shown below.
Understanding the User Interfaces
ProSafe M5300 software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:
•Web user interface
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
•Command Line Interface (CLI)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the components of the ProSafe M5300 software. The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
The Web Management User Guide Web Management User Guide describes how to use the Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.

Using SNMP
The ProSafe software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
ProSafe use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System Management System Information Web page, which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one profile that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using the Web interface:
1.Navigate to the System SNMP SNMPv3 User Configuration page.
2.To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
SHA.
3.To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
4.Click APPLY.
To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System SNMP SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.
