Switch Management Methods
The smart switch contains an embedded web server and management software for
managing and monitoring switch functions. Without the management software, the smart
switch functions as a simple switch. You can use the management software to configure
more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.
You can use one of the following management functions to configure and monitor the smart
switch. The method that you use to manage and monitor the smart switch depends on your
network size and requirements, and on your preference:
•Web management interface. The web management interface lets you monitor,
configure, and control the smart switch remotely using a web browser
the performance of the smart switch, optimize its configuration for your network, and
configure all smart switch features. For more information, see Web Management
Interface on page 11.
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The smart switch can function as a
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to provide reporting and allow for
remote management. SNMP is enabled by default on the smart switch. For information
about how to configure SNMP on the smart switch, see
•Smart Control Center (SCC) utility. NETGEAR provides the Smart Control Center
(SCC) utility with the smart switch.

In addition to discovering the smart switch and other NETGEAR switches, the Smart
Control Center provides several utilities for NETGEAR switches, such as password
management, firmware upgrade, and configuration file backup. For more information
about these utilities, see Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
Web Management Interface
For you to access the web management interface of the smart switch over a web browser,
the browser needs to meet the following software requirements:
•HTML version 4.0 or later
•HTTP version 1.1 or later
•Java Runtime Environment 7 or later
To access the web management interface, use one of the following methods:
•From the Smart Control Center
For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP
Server on page 29 or Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network without a DHCP
Server on page 32.
•Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the smart switch in the address field.

, select the smart switch, and click
Web Browser Access.
Access the Web Management Interface
For you to be able to access the web management interface, you need to be able to ping the
IP address of the smart switch from your computer. If you use the Smart Control Center to set
up the IP address and subnet mask, either with or without a DHCP server, use that IP
address in the address field of your web browser. If you did not change the IP address of the
smart switch from the default IP address, enter 192.168.0.239 into the address field.
To log on to the web management interface:
1. Open a web browser.

Use the Device View Screen as an Alternate Way to
Configure the Smart Switch
The Device View is a Java applet that displays the ports on the smart switch. This graphic
representation provides an alternate way to navigate to configuration and monitoring
screens. The graphic representation also provides information about ports and the
configuration and status of the smart switch and its features.
Depending on the status of the port, the ports shows a green or red circle:
•A green circle indicates that the port is connected to a device.
•A red circle indicates that the port is disabled.
Depending on the status of the port, the LED of the port lights green or yellow or is off:
•A green LED for a Gigabit Ethernet port indicates that the port is enabled and operating at
a transfer rate of 1000 Mbps.
•A yellow LED for a Gigabit Ethernet port indicates that the port is enabled and operating
at a transfer rate of either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.

Interface Naming Conventions
The smart switch supports physical and logical interfaces. In this guide, we refer to the
hardware ports as physical interfaces and to the link aggregation groups (LAGs) as logical
interfaces.
Ports are identified by their type and the port number. The number of the port is identified on
the front panel. You can configure the logical interfaces through the web management
interface.
Ports on Model FS728TLP
Model FS728TLP has the following ports:
•Physical ports 1–24 are Fast Ethernet ports (with ports 1–12 capable of providing PoE).
•Physical ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit Ethernet ports.
•Physical ports 27T and 28T are Gigabit Ethernet combo ports (in combination with slots
27F and 28F).
•Physical slots 27F and 28F are small form-factor pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, which
function as combo ports (in combination with ports 27T and 28T).

Network
This chapter describes how to connect the smart switch to your network. The chapter has the
following sections:
•Connect the Smart Switch to the Network
•Register the Smart Switch with NETGEAR

ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches
Connect the Smart Switch to the Network
To enable remote management of the smart switch through the web management interface
or SNMP, you need to connect the smart switch to the network and configure it with network
information (an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway). The smart switch has a
default IP address of 192.168.0.239 and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
To change the default network information on the smart switch, use one of the following three
methods:
•Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the smart switch.
If you connect the smart switch to a network with a DHCP server, the smart switch
obtains its network information automatically
the automatically assigned network information.
For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP
Server on page 29. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see
Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
•Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the smart switch
to a network that does not have a DHCP server

For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network without a
DHCP Server on page 32. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see
Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
•Static assignment by connecting from local computer. If you do not want to use the
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the smart switch
from a computer (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the
settings by using the web management interface on the smart switch.
For information about how to set the IP address on the computer so it is in the same
subnet as the default IP address of the smart switch, see Configure the Network Settings
from a Local Computer on page 34.
Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP
Server
This section describes how to set up your smart switch in a network that has a DHCP server.
The DHCP client on the smart switch is enabled by default. When you connect the smart
switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the smart
switch. Use the Smart Control Center to discover the IP address that is automatically
assigned to the smart switch.
Connect the Smart Switch to Y our Network

ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches
To install the smart switch in a network with a DHCP server and access the smart
switch over the web management interface:
1. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer in your network.
The Smart Control Center application is on the resource CD that came in the product
package.
2. Connect the smart switch to the network, which includes a DHCP server.
For more information, see the installation guide and hardware installation guide for the
smart switch.
3. Turn on the power to the smart switch
y connecting its power cord.

4. Turn off the firewall on the computer temporarily.
The firewall might prevent the Smart Control Center from discovering the smart switch.
5. Start the Smart Control Center.
