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
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
Discover the Switch on page 18.
Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to
netgear.com/support/download/.
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
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.
