Switch management options and default management mode

If you prefer, you can use the switch as a plug-and-play device, so you do not need to set up a custom configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices, and you’re done.

Note: The switch is designed for management by NETGEAR Insight:

You can use the NETGEAR Insight app on your mobile device or the Insight Cloud portal from a web browser on your Windows-based computer, Mac, or tablet. By default, the local browser interface management method is disabled. However, if you use NETGEAR Insight to manage the switch, you can still use a limited menu of the local browser interface, mostly for switch maintenance tasks.

The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network and configure, monitor, and control the switch:

•NETGEAR Insight app. Using the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the switch on the network and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that you can set up the switch in the network and manage and monitor the switch remotely from your mobile device.You can choose from four methods to add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app: You can scan your network for the switch, scan the QR code or the barcode of the switch, or add the serial number of the switch. For information about the NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal, visit netgear.com/insight and netgear.com/support/product/Insight.aspx. For knowledge base articles about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/support.

•Insight Cloud portal. Using the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal, you can set up the switch in the network, perform advanced remote setup, configuration, and management, monitor the switch, analyze the switch and network usage, and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch and the network. The Insight Cloud portal is available to Insight Premium and Insight Pro subscribers. A free trial is available for new customers.

•Local browser interface. By default, the management mode of the switch is set to NETGEAR Insight. With this setting you can manage the switch using the Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal. For complex tasks such as integrating with an existing network of devices that are not managed through Insight, and for debugging purposes, you can change the management mode of the switch to Direct Connect Web-browser Interface and access the local browser interface. In this mode, you can change the settings of the specific device, but we recommend that you do not use this mode to change settings that are Insight manageable because they will not be synchronized with Insight or to the network location and other devices to which you assigned the switch.

Note: Changes to Insight-manageable settings from the local browser interface might also create conflicts with the rest of the Insight-managed network to which the device is connected. While you manage the switch with the local browser interface, you cannot use the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal. To reenable management of the device remotely or through the cloud, you can return the management mode to NETGEAR Insight at any time so that you can manage the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal.

To use the local browser interface, after you connect the switch to your network, you must change the management method to Direct Connect Web-browser Interface (see

Change the management mode of the switch on page 29).

Access the switch

You can access the switch either on-network or off-network:

•On-network and connected to the Internet. When you use the local browser interface, for easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network that is connected to the Internet and that includes a router or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch to connect to the local browser interface. We refer to this setup as on-network.

For more information, see Access the switch on-network and connected to the Internet on page 15).

•Off-network and not connected to the Internet. You can also configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are using to configure it. That is, the switch is not connected to the network and the Internet. We refer to this setup as off-network.

Before you can access the full menu of the local browser interface, you must connect the switch to a network with Internet access at least once so that you can register the switch with NETGEAR and unlock the full menu.

For more information, see the following sections:

•Register and access the switch with your NETGEAR account on page 27.

•Access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet on page 23.

Use other options to discover the switch IP address

For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch.

If the switch is on-network, you can use one of the following options to determine the switch IP address:

•Access the DHCP server. You can access the DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network and view the IP address that is assigned to the switch. For more information, see the documentation for your DHCP server (or router).

•IP scanner utility. IP scanner utilities are available free of charge on the Internet. An IP scanner utility lets you discover the IP address that is assigned to the switch.

Getting Started

User Manual

Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Smart Cloud Switch with NETGEAR FlexPoE Power

To access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet after you registered the switch with NETGEAR:

1.Record your computer’s TCP/IP configuration settings, and change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of the switch.

If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network with the DHCP server, the IP address reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.0.239 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Note: If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a static IP address to the switch, change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the static IP address.

For more information about changing the IP settings on your computer, see one of the following knowledge base articles at the NETGEAR website:

•Windows-based computer. See the following article: https://kb.netgear.com/27476/How-to-set-a-static-IP-address-in-Windows

•Mac. See the following article: https://kb.netgear.com/000037250/Setting-a-static-IP-address-on-your-network-a dapter-in-Mac-OS-for-direct-access-to-an-access-point

(The Mac article is written for an access point but is also valid for a switch.)

2.Plug the switch into a power outlet and then connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable.

You can connect the Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the switch.

3.Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239. This is the default IP address of the switch.

Credentials for the local browser interface

The information in this section applies to accessing the switch local browser interface in either management mode. That is, it does not apply to accessing the NETGEAR Insight app and Cloud portal.

Note: Until you register and access the switch with your NETGEAR account, you can access only a limited menu of the local browser interface. This limitation applies to either management mode.

We recommend that you register and access the switch with your NETGEAR account (see

Register and access the switch with your NETGEAR account on page 27). After you do so, you can access the local browser interface with the device password, or if you previously already added the switch to an Insight network, with the Insight network password (for more information, see below). That is, you no longer need to use your NETGEAR account credentials to access the local browser interface.

NETGEAR Insight can affect how you access the switch local browser interface. If you use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the switch in your physical network and add the switch to an Insight network location (this process is referred to as claiming), the switch is automatically registered to your NETGEAR account. After you add the switch to an Insight network location, the Insight network password replaces the switch device password. To access the local browser interface, you must enter the Insight network password.

For information about how the Insight network password functions, visit netgear.com/support/product/Insight.aspx. For knowledge base articles about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/support.

However, if you use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address of the switch in your physical network but do not claim the switch by adding it to an Insight network location, the switch is registered only after you access the switch local browser interface with your NETGEAR account. After you do so, you can access the local browser interface with the device password.

The following table lists the essential credential options for access to the local browser interface.

For initial registration and access with your NETGEAR account, the switch must be connected to the Internet so that it can communicate with a NETGEAR server.

If you do not own a free NETGEAR account, you can create one during the registration process.

To register and access the switch online over the local browser interface with your NETGEAR account:

1.Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

2.Launch a web browser.

3.In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network and connected to the Internet on page 15.

Change the management mode of the switch

By default, the management mode on the switch is NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal. With this setting you can manage the switch using the Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal.

If you want to manage the switch over the local browser interface, the first time that you log in to the local browser interface, you must change the management mode to Direct Connect Web-browser Interface (which is the same as the local browser interface). You can also change the management mode back to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, which also reenables support for the Insight Cloud portal.

Note the following about changing the management mode:

•Changing to Direct Connect Web-browser Interface. The NETGEAR Insight app management mode becomes disabled and the current Insight-manageable device settings are saved to the cloud server. Any changes that you make using the Direct Connect Web-browser Interface management mode are not saved to the cloud server.

•Changing back to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal. If you previously added the switch to a network location on the Insight app, all Insight-manageable device settings are returned to the last configuration saved on the cloud server, including the switch password (that is, the password is reset to the Insight network password).
