Configure the Switch
Smart Managed Plus Gigabit Ethernet Switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used
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.
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, you can use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the local browser–based
management interface of the switch.
You can also use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app on your smartphone to discover the
switch in your network.
If your Mac supports Bonjour, you can use Bonjour to discover the switch in your network
and access the local browser interface of the switch.
For more information, see the following sections:

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
entering the IP address of the switch in the address bar of a browser. When you use the
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.
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 11). 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 13).
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 14).
If you use a Mac, use Bonjour to detect the IP address (see Access the Switch From
•
a Mac Using Bonjour on page 15).
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.

VLAN Overview
Virtual LANs (VLANs) are made up of networked devices that are grouped logically into
separate networks. You can group ports on a switch to create a virtual network made
up of the devices connected to the ports.
Ports can be grouped in VLANs using port-based or 802.1Q criteria:
Port-based VLANs. Assign ports to virtual networks. Ports with the same VLAN ID
•

into private subnetworks.
802.1Q VLANs. Create virtual networks using the IEEE 802.1Q standard. 802.1Q
•
uses a VLAN tagging system to determine which VLAN an Ethernet frame belongs
to. You can configure ports to be a part of a VLAN. When a port receives data tagged
for a VLAN, the data is discarded unless the port is a member of that VLAN. This
technique is useful for communicating with devices outside your local network as
well as receiving data from other ports that are not in the VLAN. However, for you
to be able to use an 802.1Q VLAN, you must know the VLAN ID.
Create Basic Port-Based VLANs
A port-based VLAN configuration lets you assign ports on the switch to a VLAN. The
number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. In a basic port-based
VLAN configuration, ports with the same VLAN ID are placed into the same VLAN.
You can also assign ports to multiple VLANs (see Assign Ports to Multiple Port-Based
VLANs on page 22).
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
To create basic port-based VLANs:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 9.
The login page displays.

You can enter a VLAN ID from 1 to the maximum number of ports that your switch
supports. If all the VLANs share an uplink to the Internet or servers, enter all in the
VLAN ID field for the port that you want to use for the uplink.
Note: If ports are members of the same LAG, you must assign them to the same
VLAN.

Assign Ports to Multiple Port-Based VLANs
A port-based VLAN configuration lets you assign ports on the switch to a VLAN. The
number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. In an advanced
port-based VLAN configuration, you can assign a single port to multiple VLANs.
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
To assign ports to multiple port-based VLANs:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in a Basic Configuration
A 802.1Q-based VLAN configuration lets you assign ports on the switch to a VLAN with
an ID number in the range of 1–4093. By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
In an advanced 802.1Q-based VLAN configuration, you can set up VLANs to which you
can add tagged or untagged ports and you can use port VLAN ID (PVID). For more
information, Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration on page 25.
