Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the
Switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that
is connected to the same network as the switch.
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool lets you discover the switch in your network and
access the local browser interface of the switch from a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based
computer.
 To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network,
and access the local browser interface of the switch:
1. Download the Switch Discovery Tool by visiting
netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.
Depending on the computer that you are using, download either the Mac version or the
version for a 64-bit Windows-based computer.
2. Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these on the
computer that you use to configure the switch.
3. Unzip the Switch Discovery Tool files, double-click the .exe or .dmg file (for example,
NETGEAR+Switch+Discovery+Tool+Setup+1.2.101.exe or
NetgearSDT-V1.2.101.dmg), and install the program on your computer.
The installation process places a NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool icon on your
desktop.
4. Reenable the security services on your computer.
5. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
6. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on the
same Layer 2 network.
7. Open the Switch Discovery Tool.
To open the program, double-click the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool icon on your
desktop.
The initial page displays a menu and a button.
8. From the Choose a connection menu, select the network connection that allows the Switch
Discovery Tool to access the switch.
9. Click the Start Searching button.
The Switch Discovery Tool displays a list of Smart Managed Plus Switches that it
discovers on the selected network.
For each switch, the tool displays the IP address.
