Switch Management Interface

The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches

contain an embedded Web server and management software for managing and monitoring

switch functions. Each switch can function 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-based 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
