Model descriptions
The NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switches that are described in this manual differ in the
following ways:
•GS108Tv3. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with Cloud Management
This model provides eight Gigabit RJ-45 copper ports and is Insight-manageable. Port 1
is a powered device (PD) port that can receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a PoE
switch.
•GS110TPv3. 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP Ports
and Cloud Management
This model provides eight Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 copper ports and two dedicated SFP fiber
ports and is Insight-manageable. PoE lets you provide power to PoE-capable devices
such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras so that you do not
need to use power supplies for those devices. The model can supply up to 30W PoE+
(IEEE 802.3at) to each copper port, with a maximum PoE power budget of 55W across
all active PoE+ copper ports.
•GS110TPP. 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 Copper
Ports and Cloud Management
This model provides eight Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 copper ports and two dedicated copper
uplink ports and is Insight-manageable. PoE lets you provide power to PoE-capable
devices such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras so that you
do not need to use power supplies for those devices. The model can supply up to 30W
PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to copper ports 1 through 8, with a maximum PoE power budget of
120W across all active PoE+ copper ports.
Model GS110TPP supports NETGEAR FlexPoE power so that you can upgrade the PoE
power budget to 190W by purchasing and connecting the NETGEAR optional power
adapter model EPS200W.

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.
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and
control the network. The local browser interface is enabled by default, allowing you to
configure the switch and the network from a web browser. You can also choose to manage
the switch by using the NETGEAR Insight app on a smartphone or tablet. Or, if you are an
Insight Premium or Pro subscriber, you can choose to manage the switch from the Insight
Cloud portal that is available from a web browser on your Windows-based computer, Mac, or
tablet.
The switch provides the following management options that let you discover the switch on the
network and configure, monitor, and control the switch:
•Local browser interface. By default, the management mode of the switch is set to
Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the local browser
interface. In this mode, you can change all settings of the switch.
•NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal. If you set the management mode of
the switch to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, you can use the
following applications to manage the switch remotely:
-NETGEAR Insight app. With 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
smartphone or tablet. 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.
-Insight Cloud portal. As an Insight Premium or Insight Pro subscriber, you can use
the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal to 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. A free trial is available for new customers.

NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/support.
To use the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal methods, you must change the
management method to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal. After you do
so, you can also change the management method back to Directly Connect to Web Browser
Interface and use the local browser interface. For more information, see

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. W

Discover the switch in a network without a DHCP server
using the Smart Control Center
This section describes how to use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to set up your switch in a
network without a DHCP server. If your network does not include a DHCP service, you must
assign a static IP address to your switch.
If you prefer, you can assign the switch a static IP address even if your network does include
a DHCP server.
As an offline option, if you connect your computer directly to the switch using an Ethernet
cable (that is, offline), you can also use the SCC to assign a static IP address to your switch.
After you do so, you can connect your switch to the network.
For information about the SCC, visit netgear.com/support/product/SCC.
To assign a static IP address:
1. Connect the switch to your existing network or directly to your computer using an
Ethernet cable.
Note: If you connect your computer directly to the switch using an Ethernet
cable, the IP address settings of your computer do not need to be in
the same IP subnet as the switch. The SCC can detect the IP address
settings of the switch even if they are in a different subnet.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the SCC on your computer.
4. Start the SCC.
5. Click the Discover button for the SCC to find your switch.
The utility broadcasts Layer 2 discovery packets within the broadcast domain to discover
the switch.
6. Select the switch, and then click the Configure Device button.
The page expands to display additional fields at the bottom.
7. Select the Disabled radio button.
DHCP is disabled.
8. Enter the static switch IP address, gateway IP address, and subnet mask that you want to
assign for the switch.

Use other options to discover the switch IP address
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.
