About This Manual The NETGEAR® GS108T and GS110TP Software Administration Manual describes how to configure and operate the GS108T Smart Switch and GS110TP Gigabit Smart Switch by using the Web-based graphical user interface (GUI). This manual describes the software configuration procedures and explains the options available within those procedures. Audience The information in this manual is intended for readers with intermediate to advanced system management skills. This document was created primarily for the system administrator who wishes to install and configure the GS108T Smart Switch and GS110TP Gigabit Smart Switch in a network. It assumes that the reader has a general understanding of switch platforms and a basic knowledge of Ethernet and networking concepts. To install this switch, it is not necessary to understand and use all of its capabilities. Once basic configuration is performed, it will function in a network using its remaining factory default settings. However, a greater level of configuration-anywhere from the basic up to the maximum possible-will allow your network the full benefit of the switch's features. The Web interface simplifies this configuration at all levels. Organization The GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual contains the following chapters: • Chapter 1, "Getting Started"on page 1-1 contains information about performing the initial system configuration and accessing the user interface. • Chapter 2, "Configuring System Information" on page 2-1 describes how to configure administrative features such as SNMP, DHCP, and port information. • Chapter 3, "Configuring Switching Information" on page 3-1 describes how to manage and monitor the layer 2 switching features. xi v1.0, April 2010
