ProSAFE 8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP Switch Management Interface Overview The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the network. Using the web browser-based management 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 the Smart Control Center (SCC) program, which runs on a Windows-based computer and is included on the resource CD. You can also download the SCC program from downloadcenter.netgear.com. If you do not use a Windows-based computer, 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 web browser-based management 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 downloadcenter.netgear.com. Change the Default IP Address of the Switch To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser or SNMP, connect the switch to the network and specify an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The switch default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. To change the default IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods: • Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled on the switch by default. If you connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network information automatically. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the automatically assigned network information. For more information, see Discover a Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server on page 12. • Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a network that does not include a DHCP server, you can use the Smart Control Center to assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see Discover a Switch in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 13. • Static assignment by connecting from a local host. If you do not want to use the Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch from a host (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the web browser-based management interface on the switch. For information about how to set the IP address on the administrative system so that it is in the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch, see Configure the Network Settings on Your Computer on page 14.
