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.

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.

interface
If you use NETGEAR Insight, the credentials that you must use to access the switch local
browser interface might change:
•No credential change: Use NETGEAR Insight to discover but not manage the
switch. Under the following circumstances, you can continue to use the local device
password to access the local browser interface after initial registration:
-You use the Insight app to discover the switch in your physical network.
-You add the switch to an Insight network location.
-You do not want to manage the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal
and, therefore, you do not change the management mode on the switch.
•Credential change: Use NETGEAR Insight to discover and manage the switch.
Under the following circumstances, you must use the Insight network location password
to access the local browser interface after initial registration:
-You use the Insight app to discover the switch in your physical network.
-You add the switch to an Insight network location.
-You do want to manage the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal and,
therefore, you change the management mode on the switch to NETGEAR Insight
Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal mode.

Configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser
interface
You can configure IPv6 network information for the local browser interface, which is the
logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through any of the switch’s
front-panel ports.
To access the switch over an IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (an IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). You can configure IPv6 using
one of the following options:
•IPv6 auto-configuration
•DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using
SNMP-based management or web-based management.
To configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser interface:
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.

8. Determine how the switch acquires an IPv6 address:
•IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode. When this mode is enabled, the network
interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
(NDP) and through the use of router advertisement messages. When this mode is
disabled, the network interface does not use the native IPv6 address
auto-configuration features to acquire an IPv6 address. Auto-configuration can be
enabled only when DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management interfaces.
•DHCPv6. Next to Current Network Configuration Protocol, select the DHCPv6 radio
button to enable the DHCPv6 client on the interface. The switch attempts to acquire
network information from a DHCPv6 server. Selecting the None radio button disables
the DHCPv6 client on the network interface.
When DHCPv6 is enabled, the DHCPv6 Client DUID field displays the client identifier
used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled) when sending messages to the DHCPv6
server.
9. In the IPv6 Gateway field, specify the default gateway for the IPv6 network interface.
The gateway address is in IPv6 global or link-local address format.
10. To configure one or more static IPv6 addresses for the management interface, do the
following:
a. In the IPv6 Prefix/Prefix Length field, specify the static IPv6 prefix and prefix to the
IPv6 network interface.
The address is in the global address format.
b. In the EUI64 menu, select True to enable the Extended Universal Identifier (EUI)
flag for IPv6 address, or select False to omit the EUI flag.

The local clock can be set to SNTP only if the following two conditions are met:
•An SNTP server is configured.
•The switch can contact the SNTP server
.
8. Next to Client Mode, select the mode of operation of the SNTP client:
•Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion.
A unicast client sends a request
to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can
determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative
to the server.
•Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instead of a multicast address.
The broadcast address provides a
single-subnet scope while a multicast address provides an Internet-wide scope.
The default value is Unicast.
9. If the SNTP client mode is Unicast, use the SNTP Server Configuration page to add the IP
address or DNS name of one or more SNTP servers for the switch to poll.
For more information, see
Configure an SNTP server on page69.
10. In the Port field, specify the local UDP port that the SNTP client receives server packets on.
The allowed range is 1025 to 65535 and 123. The default value is 123. When the default
value is configured, the actual client port value used in SNTP packets is assigned by the
switch.

Configure an SNTP server
SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond.
Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch operates only as
an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
Time sources are established by strata. Strata define the accuracy of the reference clock.
The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest), the more accurate the clock. The device
receives time from Stratum 1 and above since it is itself a Stratum 2 device.
The following is an example of strata:
•Stratum 0. A real-time clock is used as the time source, for example, a GPS system.
•Stratum 1. A server that is directly linked to a Stratum 0 time source is used. Stratum 1
time servers provide primary network time standards.
•Stratum 2. The time source is distanced from the Stratum 1 server over a network path.
For example, a Stratum 2 server receives the time over a network link, through NTP, from
a Stratum 1 server.
Information received from SNTP servers is evaluated based on the time level and server
type.
SNTP time definitions are assessed and determined by the following time levels:
•T1. Time that the original request was sent by the client.
•T2. Time that the original request was received by the server.
•T3. Time that the server sent a reply.
•T4. Time that the client received the server's reply.
The device can poll unicast server types for the server time.
Polling for unicast information is used for polling a server for which the IP address is known.
SNTP servers that were configured on the device are the only ones that are polled for
synchronization information. T1 through T4 are used to determine server time. This is the
preferred method for synchronizing device time because it is the most secure method. If this
Configure System Information User Manual69
Page 70
8-Port Gigabit (PoE+) Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with (2 SFP or 2 Copper Ports and)
Cloud Management
method is selected, SNTP information is accepted only from SNTP servers defined on the
device using the SNTP Server Configuration page.
The device retrieves synchronization information, either by actively requesting information or
at every poll interval.
Y ou can view and modify information for adding and modifying Simple Network T ime Protocol
SNTP servers.

address is a DNS host name, then that host name is resolved into an IP address each
time an SNTP request is sent to it.
9. If the UDP port on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent is not the standard
port (123), specify the port number in the Port field.
The range is from 1 to 65535. The default value is 123.
10. In the Priority field, specify the priority order which to query the servers.
The SNTP client on the device continues sending SNTP requests to different servers until
a successful response is received, or all servers are exhausted. The priority indicates the
order in which to query the servers. The request is sent to an SNTP server with a priority
value of 1 first, then to a server with a priority value of 2, and so on. If any servers are
assigned the same priority, the SNTP client contacts the servers in the order that they
appear in the table. The range is from 1 to 3. The default value is 1.
11. In the Version field, specify the NTP version running on the server.
The range is 1 to 4. The default value is 4.

which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
PoE concepts
Models GS110TPv3 and GS110TPP include eight PoE plus (PoE+) ports.
The following table shows the capacity for each model.
Table 19. PoE capacities for models GS110TPv3 and GS110TPP
By default, supplied power is prioritized in ascending port order, up to the total power budget
of the device. If the power requirements for the attached devices exceed the total power
budget of the switch, the power to the device on the highest-numbered PoE+ port is disabled
Maximum Power Budget Across
All Active PoE+ Ports
Note: By purchasing and connecting the
NETGEAR optional power adapter model
EPS200W, you can upgrade the PoE
power budget to 190W.
Configure System Information User Manual91
Page 92
8-Port Gigabit (PoE+) Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with (2 SFP or 2 Copper Ports and)

to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered PoE+ ports
are supported first.
It is important to note that although a device is listed as an 802.3at (PoE+) powered or
802.3af (PoE) powered device, it might not require the maximum power limit that is specified.
Many devices require less power, allowing all eight PoE+ ports to be active simultaneously,
when the devices correctly report their PoE class to the switch.
Device class power requirements
PoE and PoE+ use Ethernet cables to supply power to PoE-capable devices on the network,
such as WiFi access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and switches. The switch is compliant
with the IEEE 802.3at standard (PoE+) and backward compatible with the IEEE 802.3af
standard (PoE). The switch can pass power through to any powered device (PD) that
supports these standards. PoE and PoE+ let you power such devices without the need for a
separate power supply.
The switch supports a Plug-and-Play process by which it detects the type of device that is
connected to one of its PoE+ ports and whether that device needs power and how much so
that the switch can provide the correct power the device.
During the Plug-and-Play process, the connected device can provide its Class response to
the switch in many ways, depending on how the vendor programmed the device.
The following table shows the device classes for PoE+ devices adhering to the IEEE 802.3at
standard.
The device classes for PoE devices adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard are
identical with the exception that Device Class 4 is not supported.

Power allocation and power budget concepts
The switch is a smart switch in that it can allocate the required power to a connected device
by using a prioritization scheme: By default, power is supplied in ascending port order (that is,
lower port numbers are served first) until the power budget is consumed and insufficient
power remains to allocate to the next device. When less than 7W of PoE power is available
Configure System Information User Manual92
Page 93
8-Port Gigabit (PoE+) Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with (2 SFP or 2 Copper Ports and)
Cloud Management
on a port, the port PoE LED lights yellow, and the attached device does not receive power
from the port. However, the switch continues to send data through the port connection.
The switch is also a smart switch in that it can override the IEEE power classification of a
powered device (PD): If the PD consumes less power than required by its power
classification, the switch provides only the power that the PD consumes instead of the power
that is required by the PD’s power classification.
If some PoE+ ports are in use and deliver power, you can calculate the available power
budget for the other PoE+ ports by subtracting the consumed (that is, delivered power) from
the total available power budget. (For information about the total available power budget, see
PoE concepts on page91.)
An example for model GS110TPv3:
Port 1 delivers 4.4W to a PD. The available power budget is 50.6W (55W–4.4W).
An example for model GS110TPP:
A Class 4 PD is attached to Port 1, a Class 2 PD to Port 2, and another Class 4 PD to Port 3.
However, the PDs consume less power than defined by their classes: The PD attached to
Port 1 consumes 7.3W, the PD attached to Port 2 consumes 4.7W, and the PD attached to
Port 3 consumes 8.9W. So even though the switch provides power to two Class 4 devices
and one Class 3 device, if the default power adapter is installed, the available power budget
is 99.1W (120W–7.3–4.7–8.9W).
To determine the delivered power by a PoE+ port:
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.

8. From the Port Power menu, select the PoE mode of the port:
•Enable.
•Disable.
The port’s capacity to deliver power is enabled. This is the default setting.
The port’s capacity to deliver power is disabled.
9. From the Port Priority menu, select the priority for the port in relation to other ports if the
total power that the switch is capable of delivering exceeds the total power budget:
•Low. Low priority
•Medium. Medium priority
•High. High priority
•Critical. Critical priority

.
The port priority determines which ports can still deliver power after the total power
delivered by the switch exceeds the total power budget. (In such a situation, the switch
might not be able to deliver power to all connected devices.) If the same priority applies to
two ports, the lower-numbered port receives higher priority
.
10. From the Power Mode menu, select the PoE mode that the port must function in:
•802.3af.
The port is powered in and limited to the IEEE 802.3af mode. A PD that
requires IEEE 802.3at does not receive power if the port functions in IEEE 802.3af
mode.
•Legacy.
The port is powered using high-inrush current, which is used by legacy PDs
that require more than 15W to power up.
•Pre-802.3at.
The port is initially powered in the IEEE 802.3af mode and, before
75 msec pass, is switched to the high power IEEE 802.3at mode. Select this mode if
the PD does not perform Layer 2 classification or if the switch performs
2-event Layer 1 classification.
•802.3at.
The port is powered in the IEEE 802.3at mode and is backward compatible
with IEEE 802.3af. The 802.3at mode is the default mode. In this mode, if the switch
Configure System Information User Manual98
Page 99

detects that the attached PD requests more power than IEEE 802.3af but is not an
IEEE 802.3at Class 4 device, the PD does not receive power from the switch.
11. From the Power Limit Type menu, select how the port controls the maximum power that it
can deliver:
•None. The port draws up to Class 0 maximum power in low power mode and up to
Class 4 maximum power in high power mode.
•Class. The port power limit is equal to the class of the attached PD.
•User. The port power limit is equal to the value that is specified in the Power Limit
(mW) field. This is the default setting.
Note: If a PD does not report its class correctly, use of these options can
preserve additional PoE power by preventing the switch from
delivering more power than the PD requires. However, depending on
which option you select, a PD that does not report its class correctly
might not power up at all.
12. In the Power Limit (mW) field, enter the maximum power (in mW) that the port can deliver.
The range is 3,000–30,000 mW. The default is 30,000 mW.
13. From the Detection Type menu, select how the port detects the attached PD:
•IEEE 802. The port performs a 4-point resistive detection. This is the default setting.
•4pt802.3af+legacy. The port performs a 4-point resistive detection, and if required,
continues with legacy detection.
•Legacy. The port performs legacy detection.
14. From the Timer Schedule menu, select a timer schedule or select None, which is the
default selection.
For information about setting up and configuring PoE timer schedules, see Set up PoE
timer schedules on page131.
