Switch Management and Discovery Overview

The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the network. Using the local browser interface, you can configure the switch and the network, including the ports, the management VLAN, VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and network security.
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires one of the following tools:

Options to Change the Default IP Address of the Switch

To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser or SNMP, connect the switch to the network and specify an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The switch default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Get Started User Manual11
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Models GS308T and GS310TP
To change the default IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled on the switch by default. If you connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network information automatically automatically assigned network information. For more information, see Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server on page 12.
Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a network that does not include a DHCP server, you can use the Smart Control Center to assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway Discover the Switch in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 13.
Static assignment by connecting from a local host. If you do not want to use the Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch from a computer in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the local browser interface on the switch. For information about how to set the IP address on the computer so that it is in the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch, see Configure a Static IP Address From a Directly Connected Computer on page 16.

Discover or Change the Switch IP Address

The following sections describe methods that let you discover or change the IP address of the switch.

Discover the Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server

This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that includes a DHCP server. The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect the switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the switch. Use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to discover the IP address automatically assigned to the switch.
Note: For more information about the SCC program, see the SCC user
manual, which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server:
1. Connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer
4. Start the Smart Control Center.

Configure a Static IP Address From a Directly Connected Computer

If you do not want to use the Smart Control Center to configure the network information on the switch, you can change the IP address of the switch by connecting an Ethernet cable from a computer to the switch.The IP address of the computer must be in the same subnet as the default IP address on the switch. For most networks, this means that you must change the IP address of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch (192.168.0.239).
To configure a static IP address on the switch:
1. Change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of
the switch. If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network

The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.
Table 3. Naming conventions for interfaces
Interface Description Example
Physical The physical ports are Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces and are numbered sequentially starting from 1.
Link aggregation group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces
that are used only for bridging functions.
CPU management interface This is the internal switch interface
responsible for the switch base MAC address. The interface is not configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address T
