Configure the Switch
GigabitEthernetSmartManagedPlusSwitchesareplug-and-play,sotheycanbeused without any configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices, and you’re done.
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses and power on the switch. However, it is also possible to configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network).
You can configure and manage advanced features of the switch either by using your computer’s web browser and accessing the switch at its IP address or by installing the ProSAFE® Plus Utility on your Windows-based computer.
IfyouuseaMacora64-bitWindows-basedcomputer,youcanusetheNETGEARSwitch DiscoveryTooltodiscovertheswitchinyournetworkandaccessthelocalbrowser–based management interface of the switch.

•Access the Switch With the ProSAFE Plus Utility on page 18
•Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the Switch on page 21
•Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to Discover the Switch on page 22
Access the Switch Using a Web Browser
This manual describes the local browser–based management interface, referred to as the local browser interface.
You can access and configure the switch directly through its local browser interface by enteringtheIPaddressoftheswitchintheaddressbarofabrowser. Whenyouusethe local browser interface, the simplest way to configure the switch is not connected to your network (off-network). You can also configure the switch with it connected to your network, router, or modem, (on-network) but you must be able to determine the IP address of the switch if your network uses DHCP.

Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches
Access a Switch That Is Connected to a Network
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. To access the switch, use the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
To determine the IP address of the switch, do one of the following:
•If you use a Windows-based computer, use the ProSAFE® Plus Utility to detect the IP address (see Access the Switch With the ProSAFE Plus Utility on page 18). You can also access and configure the switch from the utility.
•If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to detect the IP address (see Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the Switch on page 21).
•If you use an iOS or Android smartphone, use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app to detect the IP address (see Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to Discover the Switch on page 22).
•Access the DHCP server.
•Use an IP scanner utility.
To use your web browser to configure a switch that is connected to a network:
1.Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP addresses.
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.
4.Determine the IP address of the switch.
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. Use the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
5.Open a web browser, and enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens.
6.Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
7.Click the Login button.
You can now configure additional options for the switch through the local browser interface.

Access a Switch That Is Off-Network
To use your web browser to configure a switch that is not connected to a network:
1.Record your computer’s TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the computerwithastaticIPaddressof192.168.0.210and255.255.255.0asthesubnet mask.
Note: If you are unsure how to do this, visit the support website at netgear.com/support and search for Static IP address on computer.
2.Plug the switch into a power outlet and then connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable.
You can connect the Ethernet cable to any port on the switch.
3.Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239. This is the default address of the switch.
The login window opens.
4.Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
5.Click the Login button.
You can now configure additional options for the switch through the local browser interface.
Forinformationaboutsettingupafixed(static)IPaddressfortheswitch,seeSpecify IP Address Settings for the Switch on page 46.
6.After you complete the configuration of the switch, reconfigure the computer that you used for this process to its original TCP/IP settings.
You can now connect your switch to your network using an Ethernet cable.

Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches
Note: You can use the ProSAFE Plus Utility to upgrade the firmware on the switch. In that situation, do not use a WiFi connection to the switch but use only a direct wired connection over an Ethernet cable. That is, configure a computer with an IP address in the same subnet as the switch and connect directly to the switch using an Ethernet cable before you start the firmware upgrade using the ProSAFE Plus Utility.
