Chapter 2
Switch Management Overview
This chapter gives an overview of switch management, including the methods you can use to
manage your NETGEAR NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch.
• Management Access Overview
• SNMP Access
• Protocols
Scope
The NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch software has two purposes:
• Assist attached hardware in switching frames, based on Layer 2 or 3 information contained in
the frames.
• Provide a complete switch management portfolio for the network administrator.
Switch Management Overview
Fast Ethernet (FEN) and Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) switching continues to evolve from high-end
backbone applications to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to
decline, while performance and feature sets continue to improve. Devices that are capable of
switching Layers 2, 3, and 4 are increasingly in demand. The NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2
Managed Switch provides a flexible solution to these ever-increasing needs.
The NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch provides the network administrator with a
set of comprehensive management functions for managing both the 7200 and the network. The
network administrator has a choice of three easy-to-use management methods:
• Web-based
• VT100 interface
Note: The maximum number of configuration file command lines is 2000 .
Switch Management Overview 2-1

User Manual for the NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch Software
• Simple Network Protocol Management (SNMP)
Each management method enables the network administrator to configure, manage, and control
the managed switch locally or remotely using in-band or out-of-band mechanisms. Management is
standards-based, with configuration parameters and a private MIB providing control for functions
not completely specified in the MIBs.

• Limited amount of information
available
• Some settings require calculations
• Security can be compromised (hackers
need only know the community name)

Administration Console Telnet Interface
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, VT-100/ANSI menu-driven user
interface for performing management activities. Using this method, you can view the
administration console from a terminal, PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation connected to
the switch’s console port. Figure 3-1 shows an example of this management method.
Figure 3-1: Administration Console Management Method
Set Up Your Switch Using Direct Console Access
The direct access management method is required when you initially set up your switch.
Thereafter, the convenience and additional features of the Web management access method make
it the best method to manage the switch. See “W eb Based Management Overview” on page 4-1 for
more information.
Direct access to the switch console is achiev ed by connecting the switch’s console port to a
VT-100 or compatible terminal or to a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation equipped with
a terminal-emulation program. This connection is made using the null-modem cable supplied with
the switch.
Administration Console Telnet Interface 3-1
December 2004, 202-10010-02
User Manual for the NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch Software
Examples of terminal-emulation programs include:
• HyperTerminal, which is included with Microsoft Windows operating systems
• ZTerm for the Apple Macintosh
• TIP for UNIX workstations
This example describes how to set up the connection using a HyperTerminal on a PC, but other
systems follow similar steps.
1. Click the Windows S tart button. Select Accessories and then Communications. HyperT erminal
should be one of the options listed in this menu. Select HyperTerminal
2. The following screen will appear. Enter a name for this connection. In the example below, the
name of the connection is GSM7224. Click OK.
Figure 3-2: Connection Description
3.
The following screen will appear . In the bottom, drop down box labeled Connect Using:, click
the arrow and choose the COM port to which the switch will connect. In the example below,
COM1 is the port selected. Click OK.

Click OK.
The HyperTerminal window will open and you should be connected to the switch. If you do not
get a welcome screen or a system menu, press the return key.
When attached to the User Interface via a Telnet Session, the following must be set in order to use
the arrow keys: Under the terminal pull down menu, choose Properties and make sure the VT100
Arrows option is turned on.

Web-Based Management Interface
Your NETGEAR 7200 Series 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 W eb 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. Figu re 4-1 shows this management method.
Figure 4-1: Web Management Method
Web Based Management Overview
The menu options available are: System Management, Switch, Routing, Traffic Management, and
Smart Wizard. There is a help menu in the top of right side of screen; you can click the ‘help’ or
the question mark to read the help menu.
The help menu contains:
• Web-Based Management Introduction to the Web management features.
