management VLAN is a special VLAN that is isolated from other normal routable VLANs for security reasons. If you wish to assign an IP address to the switch in a normal VLAN, please follow the instructions found in Chapter 6: Quick Startup of the User Manual for the Netgear 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software. The example above uses "192.168.1.100" as IP address, and "192.168.1.1" as gateway IP address. The gateway address is optional. You should provide your own IP address in the above command. If you want to use your web browser, or telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on the Sysinfo page. To use your web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and hit enter. If you want to use an SNMP management application, you will need to note the IP address and to configure the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This configuration can be done through either the console or web browser GUI. See User Guide on how to enable SNMP access. Note: The switch IP address is by default using DHCP mode to assign its address. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address. Change the IP mode to Manual for a more reliable connection. If you need help changing the IP mode, please refer the User Manual on the Resource CD for Layer 3 Managed Switches. To learn more about the managed features on your switch, refer to the manual on the Resource CD. Step 8: Connecting the stacking modules Perform this step only if you are setting up a stack of switches. GSM7328S can be setup as part of a stack. To setup the stack, first plug the AX742 24 Gigabit Stacking modules into the available I/O module bays at the front or the rear of the case, then connect the provided stacking XENPAK cables to the same AX742 24 Gigabit Stacking modules on the other 2 GSM7328S or GSM7352S (upstream and downstream). The switches will automatically select a master unit. Once the master is selected its console will be accessible as normal, and other non-master units' console ports will no longer provide the normal CLI access. The following diagram illustrates how the stack can be created. Figure 3-5. Connecting the stacking modules Step 9: Setup 10 Gigabit Ethernet Connections To set up a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection, first plug an AX741 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Adapter into one of the available I/O module bays.

management VLAN is a special VLAN that is isolated from other normal routable VLANs for security
reasons.
If you wish to assign an IP address to the switch in a normal VLAN, please follow the instructions
found in Chapter 6: Quick Startup of the User Manual for the Netgear 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch
Software.
The example above uses “192.168.1.100” as IP address, and “192.168.1.1” as gateway IP address. The
gateway address is optional. You should provide your own IP address in the above command.
If you want to use your web browser, or telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on the
Sysinfo
page.
To use your web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and hit enter.
If you want to use an SNMP management application, you will need to note the IP address and to configure
the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests.
This configuration can be done
through either the console or web browser GUI. See User Guide on how to enable SNMP access.
Note
: The switch IP address is by default using DHCP mode to assign its address.
If you leave the switch
IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to
reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address. Change the IP mode to
Manual for a more reliable connection.
If you need help changing the IP mode, please refer the User
Manual on the Resource CD for Layer 3 Managed Switches.

Step 8: Connecting the stacking modules
Perform this step only if you are setting up a stack of switches.
GSM7328S can be setup as part of a stack. To setup the stack, first plug the AX742 24 Gigabit Stacking
modules into the available I/O module bays at the front or the rear of the case, then connect the provided
stacking XENPAK cables to the same AX742 24 Gigabit Stacking modules on the other 2 GSM7328S or
GSM7352S (upstream and downstream). The switches will automatically select a master unit.
Once the
master is selected its console will be accessible as normal, and other non-master units’ console ports will
no longer provide the normal CLI access. The following diagram illustrates how the stack can be created.

Step 9: Setup 10 Gigabit Ethernet Connections
To set up a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection, first plug an AX741 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Adapter into one
of the available I/O module bays.
