About on-network and off-network access
You can access the switch either on-network or off-network:
•On-network and connected to the Internet. When you use the local browser UI, 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 UI. W

to a network with Internet access at least once so that you can register the switch with
NETGEAR and unlock the full menu. Alternately, you can get a registration key, which
you can enter to unlock the full menu while the switch is off-network.

•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 rep
ly 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.

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 Str

•Stratum 0.

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.
•T
3. Time that the server sent a reply.

The device can poll unicast server types for the server time.
Polling for unicast information is used for polling a server fo
r 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

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
ModelMaximum PoE Power
Per Individual Port
GS110TPv3 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) 55W
GS110TPP30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) 120W.
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.
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
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 to 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
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
that is required by the PD’s power classification.
provides only the power that the PD consumes instead of the power
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 page97.)
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).
