1. Getting Started
This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR ProSafe M5300 Switch and
accessing the user interface. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Switch Management Interface on page 9
• Web Access on page 9
• Understanding the User Interfaces on page 10
• Interface Naming Convention on page 17
Switch Management Interface
The switches in the NETGEAR ProSafe M5300 family contain an embedded Web server and
management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. M5300 Series devices
function as simple switches without the management software. However, you can use the
management software to configure more advanced features that can improve switch
efficiency and overall network performance.
1
Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using
a standard Web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software
products. From your Web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and
optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as
VLANs, QoS, and ACLs by using the Web-based management interface.
Web Access
To access the M5300 Series management interface, open a Web browser and enter the IP
address of the switch in the address field.
You must be able to ping the IP address of the M5300 Series management interface from
your administrative system for Web access to be available. If you did not change the IP
address of the switch from the default value, enter 192.168.1.1 into the address field.

ProSafe M5300 Switch
Accessing the switch directly from your Web browser displays the login screen shown below.
Understanding the User Interfaces
ProSafe M5300 software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for
configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:
• Web user interface
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the
components of the ProSafe M5300 software. The method you use to manage the system
depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
The Web Management User Guide Web Management User Guide describes how to use the
Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.
Using the Web Interface
To access the switch by using a Web browser, the browser must meet the following software
requirements:
• HTML version 4.0, or later

Using SNMP
The ProSafe software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can
manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
ProSafe use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that
support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The main object
for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface
configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System
Management System Information Web page,
which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one
profile that can be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using
the Web interface:
1. Navigate to the System
SNMP SNMPv3 User Configuration page.
2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
SHA.
3. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter
an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
4. Click APPLY.
To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System
SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.

Interface Naming Convention
The ProSafe support physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type
and the interface number. The physical ports are gigabit interfaces and are numbered on the
front panel. You configure the logical interfaces by using the software. Table 2 describes the
naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.
Table 2. Naming Conventions for Interfaces
Interface Description Example
Physical The physical ports are in
unit/slot/port format, where unit is
the stack ID of the switch, slot is the
slot ID (always 0 for physical ports),
and port is the port ID, which starts
at 1 and is identified on the front
panel of the switch.
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical
interfaces that are only used for
bridging functions.
CPU Management Interface This is the internal switch interface
responsible for the switch base
MAC address. This interface is not
configurable and is always listed in
the MAC Address Table.
Routing VLAN Interfaces This is an interface used for routing
functionality. The format can be
expressed in vlan id format or
unit/slot/interface format, where unit
is 0, slot is 4, and interface is the
logical VLAN interface ID.
