Switch Management and Discovery
Overview
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and
control the network. Using the local browser interface, you can configure the switch and the
network, including the ports, the management VLAN, VLANs for traffic control, link
aggregation for increased bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and
network security.
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires one of the following tools:
• NETGEAR Smart Control Center (SCC) program. The SCC runs on a Windows-based
computer
. You can download the SCC program from
netgear.com/support/download/.
For more information about the SCC program see
Discover the Switch in a Network With
a DHCP Server on page 12 and Discover the Switch in a Network Without a DHCP
Server on page 13.
• NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool. If you use a Mac computer, you can use the
NETGEAR Switch Discovery
Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the
local browser interface of the switch. For more information about the Switch Discovery
Tool,
Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the Switch on page 15.
• NETGEAR Insight mobile app. Y
ou can also install the NETGEAR Insight mobile app
on an iOS or Android mobile device and discover the IP address of the switch. For more
information about the Insight mobile app, see
Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to
Discover the Switch on page 16.
You can also get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an
IP scanner utility.
After discovery
, you can configure the switch using the local browser interface for advanced
setup and configuration of features, or the SCC program for very basic setup. For more
information, see the SCC user manual, which you can download from
netgear.com/support/download/.
