What Is the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility?
The ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility, also referred to as the ProSAFE Plus Utility (or just
the utility), lets you discover and configure NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus switches (visit
netgear.com/business/products/switches/web-managed) on your network.
The utility runs on Windows-based computers. You can install the utility to customize and
manage one or more switches for your network. To download the latest version of the utility,
visit
netgear.com/support/product/PCU.
Instead of using the ProSAFE Plus Utility, you can also access and configure a NETGEAR
Smart Managed Plus switch directly using a web browser and the switch’s web
browser–based management interface. For more information, see the NETGEAR Smart
Managed Plus Switches User Manual or a user manual that is specific to your switch model.
You can download manuals by visiting
Some switches allow you to turn off the ability to manage them using the ProSAFE Plus
Utility, only allowing them to be managed through the web browser–based management
interface. If you do so, you can still use the ProSAFE Plus Utility to discover the switch in the
network and determine its IP address, but you can only use the web browser–based
management interface to configure and manage the switch. You can reenable the full
capability of the ProSAFE Plus Utility from the web browser–based management interface.
downloadcenter.netgear.com.
Install the ProSAFE Plus Utility
You can install the ProSAFE Plus Utility on any computer that runs a Windows operating
system (OS) and that is on the same network as the switches that you want to manage. If an
earlier version of the utility is present on your computer, installing a newer version replaces
the older version. Newer versions of the utility are backward compatible and support all
previously released NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus switches.
Note: The ProSAFE Plus Utility requires Adobe Air and WinPcap. If Adobe
Air and WinPcap are not detected during ProSAFE Plus Utility
installation, you are prompted to allow them be installed.
To install the utility:
1. Visit netgear.com/support/product/PCU and download the latest version of the utility.
2. Open the software package and follow the prompts to install the program.
If your computer runs a Windows 7 OS, the utility is installed in the Program Files folder of
your computer and a ProSAFE Plus Utility icon is placed on your desktop.

Access the ProSAFE Plus Utility and Your Switch
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 the computer on
which the ProSAFE Plus Utility is installed and that is connected to the same network as the
switch.
The ProSAFE Plus Utility automatically discovers any NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus
switches in your network.
To configure the switch using the ProSAFE Plus Utility:
1. Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP address.
2. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
3. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on the
same layer 2 network.
4. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon

Specify IP Address Settings for the Switch
By default, the switch IP address works as follows:
• If you cable the switch to a network with a DHCP server before you power on the switch,
the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch when the switch is powered on.
• If you power on the switch when it is not connected to a network with a DHCP server
switch uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.0.239.
You can disable the DHCP mode in the switch and enter static IP address and subnet
mask values for the switch as well as the address of the gateway device used by the
switch.
To specify IP address settings for a switch:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

Manage Multicast Traffic With IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows a switch to forward multicast
traffic intelligently on the switch. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group.
Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic
only to the ports that request the multicast traffic. This feature prevents the switch from
broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly affecting network performance.
The switch maintains a map that shows which links need which IP multicast streams. The
switch forwards multicast traffic only to the links that requested them and cuts multicast traffic
from links that do not contain a multicast listener. Essentially, IGMP snooping helps optimize
multicast performance at Layer 2 and is especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast
applications such as IPTV.
Customize IGMP Snooping
By default, IGMP snooping is enabled. You can customize the settings for your network.
To customize IGMP snooping:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon or tile.

Set Up Static Link Aggregation Groups
Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a single
logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases
fault tolerance and load sharing. The number of LAGs that the switch supports depends on
the model. Configure LAG membership before you enable the LAG.
