Getting Started with Switch Management

v1.0, March 2008

Switch Management Interface

Your NETGEAR GS700AT Gigabit Smart Switch contains an embedded web server and

management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. This switch operates as a

simple switch without using the management software. The management software enables you to

configure more advanced features, and consequently improve switch efficiency as well as overall

network performance.

Web-Based Management enables you to monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely

using a common web browser, instead of having to use expensive and complicated SNMP

software products. Simply by using your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your

switch and optimize network configuration. Using your browser, for example, you can set up

VLANs, traffic priority, and configure port trunking.

In addition, NETGEAR provides the SmartWizard Discovery utility with this product. This

program runs under Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 and provides a “front end” that

discovers the switches on your network segment. When you power up your switch for the first

time, the SmartWizard Discovery utility enables you to configure its basic network parameters

without prior knowledge of IP address or subnet mask. Following such configuration, this program

leads you into the Web Management interface.

Some features of the SmartWizard Discovery utility and Web Management interface are shown in
