Insight
1. Register with the NETGEAR Insight app
Use the NETGEAR Insight app to create your network topology, set up, configure,
monitor, and register your switch, activate your warranty, and access support.
1. On your iOS or Android mobile device or tablet, scan a QR code or visit the
app store, search for NETGEAR Insight, and download the the app.
2. Open the NETGEAR Insight app.
3. If you did not set up a NETGEAR account, tap Create NETGEAR Account
and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Enter the email address and password for your account and tap LOG IN.
2. Connect the switch
During initial setup, you must connect the switch to a network that you can access
with a local WiFi connection to use the NETGEAR Insight app, or to the Internet
to use the Insight Cloud Portal.
For Gigabit connections, use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet
cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
1. Connect devices to the network ports on the switch.
2. Connect the switch to the network.
3. Power on the switch and wait for two or three minutes.
The Power/Cloud LED lights green, indicating that the switch completed its
startup process and is available on the network.
The switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does not include
a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP address.
4. To check the port connections from the switch to the powered-on devices
that you connected, do the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly.
• Check the left LED for each port on the switch.
The left port LED lights solid green to indicate a valid connection to a
powered-on device and blinks green to indicate traffic on this port.

3. Congure the switch
1. Connect your mobile device to the WiFi network of the access point that is
connected to the switch.
For initial configuration, you must use local WiFi access. After you complete
initial configuration and discover the switch, you can use cloud access if the
switch is connected to the Internet.
2. Open the NETGEAR Insight app on your mobile device.
3. Tap LOG IN and enter the same credentials that you used for your NETGEAR
account when you registered the switch.
4. Click the + sign in the upper-right corner to create a new network/location.
Continued on the other side.
5. Name your network and specify a device admin password that applies to all
the devices that you add to this network.
6. Tap NEXT.
7. To add the switch to your account, tap the + sign at the top right of the app
screen, then follow the prompts to use one of these options:
• Scan the serial number barcode or the QR code on the switch label.
• Enter the serial number manually.
• Tap Scan Network to discover all connected NETGEAR business devices
and then click on the switch to add it to your network.
8. Either select a network or create a new one.
9. When prompted, name the switch.
The switch automatically updates to the latest firmware (if needed). This
might take several minutes. When the Power/Cloud LED on the switch lights
blue and the app shows the switch as Connected, you can configure it.
Other conguration methods
You can also use the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal to set up your network and
manage your devices as well as your subscription. A Premium subscription is
required (first time users can sign up for a free 30-day trial). Insight Pro is also
supported. When using the Insight Cloud Portal, the configuration steps are
the same except that you manually enter the serial number of the device when
prompted. Visit https://insight.netgear.com.
For more information about how to connect a NETGEAR Insight managed switch
to an existing network, visit https://kb.netgear.com/000044341.
Note: We do not recommend using the switch’s local browser–based
management interface to configure the switch offline. Changes made using this
method are not pushed to the cloud, so they are not reflected in the NETGEAR
Insight app or the Insight Cloud Portal, and might create conflicts with the
Insight-managed network to which the switch is connected. If you cannot
connect your switch to a network with Internet access, and you want to use the
local-only browser interface to access the switch, see the user manual.

If you cannot discover or configure the switch, you might need to temporarily
disable the firewall, Internet security, or antivirus programs. Make sure to
reenable these security services after discovering and configuring the switch.
PoE considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE and PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port
order (from port 1 to port 8), with a total power budget of 64W (model GC108P)
or 126W (model GC108PP). If the power requirements for the attached powered
devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the
highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected
to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first.
Just because a PD is listed as an 802.3at PoE powered device does not
necessarily mean that it requires the maximum power limit of the specification.
Many PDs require less power, allowing all eight PoE ports to be active
simultaneously.
NETGEAR Smart Cloud switches include advanced PoE management that lets
you override the detected device class and specify the exact power allocation
for the device connected to each port. The following table shows the standard
power ranges without overrides applied.
Device
Class
0 PoE and PoE+ Default
1 PoE and PoE+ Very low
2 PoE and PoE+ Low power 7.0W 3.84W–6.49W
3 PoE and PoE+ Mid power 15.4W 6.49W–12.95W

Change the switch’s exible PoE budget
The GC108P and GC108PP switches feature a flexible PoE power budget. To
upgrade the PoE power budget of your GC108P switch, you need the optional
power adapter EPS130W, which is sold separately. For information about how to
use the switch’s flexible PoE budget, visit https://kb.netgear.com/000060621/ or
see the hardware installation guide, which you can download from
https://www.netgear.com/support/.
