Switch management options and default
management mode
If you prefer, you can use the switch as a plug-and-play device, so you do not need to set up
a custom configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other
devices, and you’re done.
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and
control the network. The device UI is enabled by default, allowing you to configure the switch
and the network from a web browser. You can also choose to manage the switch by using the
NETGEAR Insight app on a smartphone or tablet. Or, if you are an Insight Premium or Pro
subscriber, you can choose to manage the switch from the Insight Cloud portal that is
available from a web browser on your Windows-based computer, Mac, or tablet.
The switch provides the following management options that let you discover the switch on the
network and configure, monitor, and control the switch:
•Device UI: By default, the management mode of the switch is set to Directly Connect to
Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the device UI. In this mode, you can
change all settings of the switch.
•NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal: If you set the management mode of
the switch to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, you can use the
following applications to manage the switch remotely:
-NETGEAR Insight app. With the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the switch
on the network and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that you can set
up the switch in the network and manage and monitor the switch remotely from your
smartphone or tablet. You can choose from four methods to add the switch to the
NETGEAR Insight app: You can scan your network for the switch, scan the QR code
or the barcode of the switch, or add the serial number of the switch.
-Insight Cloud portal: As an Insight Premium or Insight Pro subscriber, you can use
the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal to set up the switch in the network, perform
advanced remote setup, configuration, and management, monitor the switch, analyze
the switch and network usage, and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch and the
network. A free trial is available for new customers.
For more information about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/insight and
netgear.com/support/product/Insight.aspx. For knowledge base articles about
NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/support.
To use the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal methods, you must change the
management method to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal. After you do
so, you can also change the management method back to Directly Connect to Web Browser
Interface and use the device UI. For more information, see

About on-network and off-network access
You can access the switch either on-network or off-network:
•On-network and connected to the Internet: When you use the device UI, for easiest
access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network that is connected to the
Internet and that includes a router or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on
switch, and then use a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch

•Off-network and not connected to the Internet:
connected directly only to the computer that you are using to configure it. That is, the
switch is not connected to the network and the Internet. We refer to this setup as
off-network or offline.

The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server or router on the
network to assign an IP address to the switch.
If the switch is on-network, connected to a DHCP server, and connected to the Internet, you
can use a Windows-based computer to access the device UI. We also recommend that you
register the switch with NETGEAR to activate your warranty. For more information about
accessing the device UI, see
on-network on page20.
If you use a Mac, or if you do not know the IP address of the switch, use one of the following
tools to discover the IP address of the switch on the network:
•NETGEAR Insight mobile app: You can install the NETGEAR Insight mobile app on an
iOS or Android mobile device and discover the IP address of the switch. See
NETGEAR Insight mobile app to only discover the IP address of the switch on page21.
•NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT): If you use a Windows-based computer or
Mac, you can use the NSDT to discover the switch on your network. See

Access the switch off-network
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. The IP address of the computer that
you use to access the switch off-network must in the same subnet as the default IP address
of the switch.
To access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet:
1. Change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of
the switch.
If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network
with the DHCP server, the IP address reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.0.239
with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a
static IP address to the switch, change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same
subnet as the static IP address.
For more information about changing the IP settings on your computer, see one of the
following knowledge base articles at the NETGEAR website:
•Windows-based computer: See the following article:
8-Port Multi-Gigabit/10G Ethernet (Ultra60 PoE++) Smart Managed Pro Switch
(The Mac article is written for an access point but is also valid for a switch.)
2. Connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable.
3. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
4. Launch a web browser.
5. Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239.
This is the default IP address of the switch. If you already disabled the DHCP client and
assigned a static IP address to the switch, enter the static IP address of the switch.
