Chapter 1
Switch Management Overview
This chapter provides an overview of switch management, including the methods for managing the
NETGEAR FS728TP family of 10/100 Mbps Port Smart Fast Ethernet Switches with Gigabit
Ports and PoE.
The family of ProSafe Smart Switches is designed for growing businesses that want control over
their network without the cost and complexity of a full Layer 2/Layer 3 management
implementation. This PoE capable Smart Switch, the FS728TP, provides power and data using
built-in IEEE 802.3af PoE on all 24 ports.
The NETGEAR FS728TP family of 10/100 Mbps Port Smart Fast Ethernet Switches with Gigabit
Ports contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the device. This management
software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the 10/100 Mbps ports and the built-in
Gigabit ports without using the management software. However, the management software allows
you configure ports, device features, and improve the switch’s efficiency. The management
software improves the network’ s performance. T he Switch provides additional network flexibility
for accessing and managing the switch using the following methods:
•Smartwizard Discovery program
•Web browser interface
