1. Getting Started
This manual describes how to configure and operate the XS712T Smart Switch by using the
web-based graphical user interface (GUI). The manual describes the software configuration
procedures and explains the options available within those procedures.
Note: For information about issues and workarounds, see the release
notes for the XS712T Smart Switch.
Getting Started with the XS712T Smart Switch
This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR XS712T Smart Switch and
accessing the user interface. It also leads you through the steps to use the Smart Control
Center utility. This chapter contains the following sections:
1
• Switch Management Interface
• Connect the Switch to the Network
• Discover a Switch in a Network with a DHCP Server
• Discover a Switch in a Network without a DHCP Server
• Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative System
• Access the Management Interface from a Web Browser
• Understand the User Interfaces
• Interface Naming Convention
• Online Help
• Registration

XS712T Smart Switch
Switch Management Interface
The NETGEAR XS712T Smart Switch contain an embedded web server and management
software for managing and monitoring switch functions. The XS712T 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.
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 management interface.
NETGEAR provides the Smart Control Center utility with this product. This program runs
under Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Vista and provides a front end that
discovers the switches on your network segment (L2 broadcast domain). When you power up
your switch for the first time, use the Smart Control Center to discover the switch and view
the network information that has been automatically assigned to the switch by a DHCP
server; or, if no DHCP server is present on the network, use the Smart Control Center to
discover the switch and assign static network information.
In addition to enabling NETGEAR switch discovery, the Smart Control Center provides
several utilities to help you maintain the NETGEAR switches on your network, such as
password management, firmware upgrade, and configuration file backup. For more
information, see
Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
Connect the Switch to the Network
To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser or SNMP, you must
connect the switch to the network and configure it with network information (an IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway). The switch has a default IP address of 192.168.0.239
and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
To change the default network information on the switch, use one of the following three
methods:
• Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the switch. 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 9.
• Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a

This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that has a DHCP server. The
DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect it to your network, the
DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to your switch. Use the Smart Control

Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative System
If you choose not to use the Smart Control Center to configure the network information on the
switch, you can connect directly to the switch from an administrative system, such as a
computer or laptop. The IP address of the administrative system must be in the same subnet
as the default IP address on the switch. For most networks, this means you must change the
IP address of the administrative system to be on the same subnet as the default IP address
of the switch (192.168.0.239).

IP Configuration
Use the IP Configuration screen to configure network information for the management
interface, which is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through
any of the switch's front-panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the
switch’s network interface do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports through
which traffic is switched or routed.
To configure the network information for the management interface:
1. Select System
Management IP Configuration.
The IP Configuration screen displays.
2. Select the appropriate radio button to determine how to configure the network information for
the switch management interface:
• Dyn
amic IP Address (DHCP). Specifies that the switch must obtain the IP address
through a DHCP server.
• Dyn
amic IP Address (BOOTP). Specifies that the switch must obtain the IP address
through a BootP server.

4. Specify the VLAN ID for the management VLAN.
Note: Make sure that the VLAN to be configured as the management
VLAN exists. And make sure that the PVID of at least one port that is
a port of the VLAN is the same as the management VLAN ID. For
information about creating VLANs and configuring the PVID for a
port, see VLANs on page 84.
The management VLAN is used to establish an IP connection to the switch from a
workstation that is connected to a port in the same VLAN. If not specified, the active
management VLAN ID is 1 (default), which allows an IP connection to be established
through any port.
When the management VLAN is set to a different value, an IP connection can be made
only through a port that is part of the management VLAN. It is also mandatory that the
port VLAN ID (PVID) of the port to be connected in that management VLAN be the same
as the management VLAN ID.
The management VLAN has the following requirements:
• Only one management VLAN can be active at a time.
• When a new management VLAN is configured, connectivity through the existing
management VLAN is lost.
• The management station should be reconnected to the port in the new management
VLAN.
