GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual Switch Management Interface The NETGEAR GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switches contain an embedded Web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. The GS108T and GS110TP function as simple switches 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 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.
