Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches Manage NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol A NETGEAR device or application that supports NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol (NSDP) can discover the switch in the network so that you can find the switch IP address and log in to the device UI of the switch. NSDP is enabled by default. You can disable NSDP for security reasons. To manage NSDP: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch. A login window opens. 3. Enter the device management password. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The password is case-sensitive. The HOME page displays. 4. From the menu at the top of the page, select SETTINGS. 5. From the menu on the left, select SWITCH DISCOVERY. The SWITCH DISCOVERY page displays. 6. Enable or disable NSDP by clicking the button in the NSDP section. When NSDP is enabled, the button bar displays green. 7. Click the APPLY button. Your settings are saved. Set up static link aggregation Static link aggregation on the switch allows you to combine multiple Ethernet ports into a single logical link. Your network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link. Depending on how link aggregation is set up in your network, the link supports either increased bandwidth (a larger pipe) or fault tolerance (if one port fails, another one takes over). The GS305EP and GS305EPP switches each support a single static link aggregation group (LAG) with up to four ports. The GS308EP and GS308EPP switches each support two static LAGs with up to four ports each. That means that one static LAG can support a link of up to 4 Gbps.

Manage NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol
A NETGEAR device or application that supports NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol
(NSDP) can discover the switch in the network so that you can find the switch IP address
and log in to the device UI of the switch. NSDP is enabled by default. You can disable
NSDP for security reasons.
To manage NSDP:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the device management password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The
password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4.
From the menu at the top of the page, select
SETTINGS
.
5.
From the menu on the left, select
SWITCH DISCOVERY
.
The SWITCH DISCOVERY page displays.
6.
Enable or disable NSDP by clicking the button in the NSDP section.
When NSDP is enabled, the button bar displays green.
7.
Click the
APPLY
button.
Your settings are saved.
Set up static link aggregation
Static link aggregation on the switch allows you to combine multiple Ethernet ports into
a single logical link. Your network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single
link. Depending on how link aggregation is set up in your network, the link supports
either increased bandwidth (a larger pipe) or fault tolerance (if one port fails, another
one takes over).
The GS305EP and GS305EPP switches each support a single static link aggregation
group (LAG) with up to four ports.
The GS308EP and GS308EPP switches each support two static LAGs with up to four
ports each. That means that one static LAG can support a link of up to 4 Gbps.
