Step 7: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC
Utility
The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it
works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used
without using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of
VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the
improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a Web
browser or a utility program called SmartWizard Discovery. For more information about
managing the switch, see the GS716T/GS724T Series Software Administration Manual on the
Smart Switch Resource CD.
Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already configured on the
device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
