2. Connect the Switch
During initial setup, you must connect the switch to a network that you can access

to use the Insight Cloud Portal.
For Gigabit connections, use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet
cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors. To use an SFP port, you must insert a
1G SFP transceiver module. To use an SFP+ port, you must insert either a 10G
SFP+ or 1G SFP transceiver module (available from NETGEAR).

2. Connect the switch to the network.
3. Power on the switch and wait for two or three minutes.
• The Power 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.

you can begin conguring 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 to use the Insight Cloud Portal. (A limited time, free trial is included
with 24-port and larger Insight switch purchases.) When using the Insight Cloud
Portal, the conguration steps are the same except that you manually enter the
serial number of the device when prompted. For more information on NETGEAR
Insight, visit https://insight.netgear.com/#/login.
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.
To download the user manual, visit netgear.com/support/product/GC728X or
netgear.com/support/product/GC728XP.
If you cannot discover or congure the switch, you might need to temporarily
disable the rewall, Internet security, or antivirus programs. Make sure to
reenable these security services after discovering and conguring the switch.
PoE Troubleshooting for Model GC28XP
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. The switch provides a total power
budget of 390 watts. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, disconnect one
or more powered devices (PDs) to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by
disconnecting the PD from the highest-numbered port.
Note: You can manually override the amount of power that is reserved for
each PoE port and attached PD by using the Insight mobile app or the Insight
Cloud Portal.
• Check the right LED for the port on the switch that is connected to a
powered PD. The right port LED on the switch lights solid green to indicate
that PoE is being delivered to the PD. If the right port LED lights solid amber,
a PoE fault occurred.
