Switch Management Interface Overview

The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the network. Using the local browser interface, in this manual referred to as 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:

NETGEAR Smart Control Center (SCC) program. The SCC runs on a Windows-based computer. You can download the SCC program from netgear.com/support/download/. For more information about the SCC program see Discover a Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server on page 12 and Discover a Switch in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 13.

NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool. If you use a Mac computer, you can use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the local browser interface of the switch. For more information about the Switch Discovery Tool, Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the Switch on page 17

NETGEAR Insight mobile app. You can also install the NETGEAR Insight mobile app on an iOS or Android mobile device and discover the IP address of the switch. For more information about the Insight mobile app, see Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to Discover the Switch on page 18.

You can also get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner utility.

After discovery, you can configure the switch using the local browser interface for advanced setup and configuration of features, or the SCC program for very basic setup. For more information, see the SCC user manual, which you can download from netgear.com/support/download/.

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.

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. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the automatically assigned network information. For more information, see Discover a 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. For more information, see

Discover a Switch in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 13.

Get Started

11

S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Models GS308T and GS310TP

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 the Network Settings on Your Computer on page 14.

Discover a 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 to discover the IP address automatically assigned to the switch.

To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server:
