Switch Management Interface
The NETGEAR M6100 Chassis switch contains an embedded Web server and management
software for managing and monitoring switch functions. M6100 Chassis switch functions as a
simple switch 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 M6100 Chassis switch 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 M6100 Chassis switch 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 169.254.100.100 into the address field.
Accessing the switch directly from your Web browser displays the login screen shown in
Figure 1 on page 10.

When you select a tab, the features for that tab appear as links directly under the tabs. The
feature links in the blue bar change according to the navigation tab that is selected.
The configuration pages for each feature are available as links in the page menu on the left

Using SNMP
The M6100 Chassis switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users
that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
M6100 Chassis switch uses 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.

Interface Naming Convention
The M6100 Chassis switch supports 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.
