AV local browser UI overview
Your switch contains an embedded web server and management software for managing
and monitoring the switch. The switch functions as a simple switch without the
management software. However, you can use the management software to configure
many advanced features that can improve AV flows, switch efficiency, and overall network
performance.
The switch software includes a set of comprehensive management features for
configuring and monitoring the switch through one of the following methods:
•Audio-video local browser user interface (AV UI), either over an Ethernet network
port or over the out-of-band (OOB) port (also referred to as the service port).
•Main local browser user interface (main UI), either over an Ethernet network port or
over the OOB port.
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
•Command-line interface (CLI)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor
the components of the switch. The method you use to manage the system depends on
your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
Audio Video User Manual9Getting Started with the AV UI
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series

This manual describes how to use the audio-video (AV) local browser user interface (UI)
to manage and monitor the switch. We abbreviate the audio-video local browser UI as
the AV UI.
The AV UI is a web-based management tool that lets you configure and manage
audio-video and other types of network profiles remotely using a standard web browser.
Note: To configure all available switch features, including VLANs, QoS, and ACLs, use
the main UI.
Use a web browser to log in to the AV UI
If this is the first time that you log in to the switch and you must use the default IP address
of the switch, see the information in the installation guide. You can use a web browser
to access the switch and log in. You must be able to ping the IP address of the
management interface or out-of-band (OOB) port from your computer for web access
to be available.
Note: The first time that you log in as an admin user to either the AV UI or the main UI,
no password is required (that is, the password is blank). After you log in for the first time,
you are required to specify a local device password that you must use each subsequent
time that you log in to either the AV UI or the main UI. (Using the main UI, you can change
the password again.)
Log in to the AV UI using the management interface default
IP address
Any Ethernet interface can function as the management interface.
To use the default IP address of the management interface to access the switch
over the AV UI:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.0.0 subnet with subnet
mask 255.255.0.0.
For example, use 169.254.100.201 for your computer.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet
network port on the switch.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Enter http://169.254.100.100 in the web browser address field:
The login page displays.
Audio Video User Manual10Getting Started with the AV UI
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series

5. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
Log in to the AV UI over the OOB port
You can configure network information on the IPv4 service port, also referred to as the
out-of-band (OOB) port. The OOB port is a dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band
management of the switch. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network
traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the operational network.
By default, no IP address is set for the OOB port, but its DHCP client is enabled so that
the port can receive an IP address from a DHCP server in your network.
If the OOB port does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server in your network,
the IP address for the port is set to 192.168.0.239 with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet
mask. The same occurs if you connect the OOB port directly to a computer and reboot
the switch.
For information about setting a fixed IP address for the OOB port, see Set a fixed IP
address for the OOB port on page 80.
To use IP address 192.168.0.239 of the OOB port to access the switch over the AV
UI:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.0 subnet with subnet
mask 255.255.0.0.
For example, use 192.168.0.201 and 255.255.255.0 for your computer.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to the OOB port
on the switch.
3. Reboot the switch so that the OOB port is set to its default IP address.
4. Launch a web browser.
5. Enter http://192.168.0.239 in the web browser address field:
The login page displays.
6. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
Audio Video User Manual11Getting Started with the AV UI
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series

Log in to the AV UI with a known IP address
If you did not assign a static IP address to the switch but let a DHCP server in your
network assign an IP address to switch, determine the IP address by accessing the DHCP
server or by using an IP scanner utility.
The procedures in this manual assume that you know the IP address of your switch.
To use a known IP address to access the switch over the AV UI:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
Save the running configuration to the startup
configuration
After you make changes on a page of the AV UI and click the Apply button (or, in some
windows, the Save button), your changes are saved for the current session but are not
retained when you restart the switch. That is, your running configuration is not saved to
the startup configuration (the startup-config file), which means that it is not yet
permanently saved.
For information about saving your current changes (your running configuration) to the
startup configuration, see Save the running configuration on page 73.

Audio-Video Profile Templates and
Network Profiles
The switch provides preconfigured audio-video (AV) profile templates that you can
configure and assign to switch ports and VLANs, thereby creating network profiles.
You can also set up your own AV profile templates.
These are the essential differences between an AV profile template and a network
profile:
•AV profile template: A preconfigured or custom template with QoS, multicast, or
PTP settings, or a combination of these settings, that you can apply to multiple
network profiles.
•Network profile: An AV profile template that you configured and assigned to one
or more switch ports, to a VLAN, and as an option, to a specific IP address.
The chapter contains the following sections:
• Overview of preconfigured AV profile templates
• About audio video bridging
• About PTP residency time stamping
• Network profiles
• Custom AV profile templates
• Auto-Trunk overview
• Enable or disable Auto-Trunks
• Configure PTP residency time stamping
• Configure the IGMP querier for a network profile

Overview of preconfigured AV profile
templates
An AV profile template integrates NETGEAR proprietary settings, allowing you to
optimize specific audio and video environments. You can use an AV profile template
to create one or multiple network profiles. For example, you could use the same AV
profile template to set up three network profiles based on a location within a building:
one network profile for the lobby, one for the theater, and one for the patio.
The switch provides the following preconfigured AV profile templates:
•Audio AES67: Use this template to connect the switch to AES67 audio IP devices
and their controller.
•Audio Video AVB: Use this template to connect the switch to IP audio devices that
support Audio Video Bridging (AVB).
•Audio Dante: Use this template to connect the switch to Dante audio devices and
their controller.
•Audio Q-SYS: Use this template to connect the switch to IP audio Q-SYS devices
and their controller.
•Data: Use this template to connect the switch to streaming ACN (sACN), Art-Net,
mobile ad hoc network (MANET), and other network devices as well as to computers.
•Lighting: Use this template to connect the switch to streaming ACN (sACN), Art-Net,
and MANET lighting devices.
•Shure Converged Audio and Control Network: Use this template to connect the
switch to Shure devices requiring audio and control traffic on a single VLAN.
Compatible with Dante, AES67, QSYS, and Biamp Dante devices.
•Shure Split Audio and Control Network: Use this template to connect the switch
to Shure devices requiring separation of audio and control traffic into different VLANs.
Compatible with Dante, AES67, QSYS, and Biamp Dante devices.
•Video: Use this template to connect the switch to IP video devices and their controller
when audio can be sent and received using another VLAN tag in another profile
simultaneously.
This template can support devices such as Crestron DM NVX systems, AMX SVSI
products, ZeeVee products, Aurora Multimedia products, Kramer products, Atlona
products, products that support Libav, Visionary Solutions products, Wyrestorm
products, Extron NAV products, Dante video products, and products that comply
with standardization by the SDVoE Alliance.

About audio video bridging
802.1AS timing and synchronization is an audio video bridging (AVB) feature. AVB (also
referred to as 802.1AS) requires a license. For information about purchasing a license,
contact NETGEAR or your local NETGEAR reseller.
The IEEE 802.1AS standard specifies the protocol and procedures used to ensure that
the QoS requirements are guaranteed for time-sensitive applications, such as audio
and video.
The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) forms the basis of the IEEE 802.1AS
standard. PTP specifies a precise clock synchronization protocol that relies on
time-stamped packets.
Audio Video User Manual16Audio-Video Profile Templates
and Network Profiles
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series

Note: Another PTP feature that the switch supports, PTP residency time stamping, is
incompatible with 802.1AS on the same switch. For more information, see About PTP
residency time stamping on page 17. If you must support both AVB and PTP residency
time stamping in your network, we recommend that you use two separate switches.
About PTP residency time stamping
Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) is a protocol that enables precise
synchronization of clocks with a sub-microsecond accuracy across a packet-based
network. PTP lets network devices of different precision and resolution synchronize to
a grandmaster clock through an exchange of packets across the network.
The switch supports a PTP end-to-end transparent clock that is used in the PTP residency
time stamping feature, which, by default, is enabled globally on the switch. You can
configure PTP residency time stamping globally only (see Configure PTP residency time
stamping on page 29).
Note: Another feature that the switch supports, 802.1AS (audio video bridging, or
AVB), is incompatible with PTP residency time stamping on the same switch. For more
information, see About audio video bridging on page 16 and the information below. If
you must support both PTP residency time stamping and AVB in your network, we
recommend that you use two separate switches.
Note how PTP residency time stamping and AVB function on the switch:
•Mutual exclusion between PTP residency time stamping and AVB: If you add a
network profile that is incompatible with PTP residency time stamping, such as Audio
AVB, PTP residency time stamping is globally disabled.
•AVB takes precedence over PTP residency time stamping:
-If you add a network profile that uses AVB (such as Audio AVB), you cannot
manually enable PTP residency time stamping.
-If PTP residency time stamping is enabled for a network profile (such as the Audio
Dante profile) on one port and then you enable a network profile that uses AVB
(such as Audio AVB) on another port, PTP residency time stamping is automatically
disabled.
•PTP residency time stamping can be automatically reenabled: By default, PTP
residency time stamping is globally enabled but you can disable it globally. If you
disable it and no network profile is using AVB, and then you add a network profile
Audio Video User Manual17Audio-Video Profile Templates
and Network Profiles
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series

that can use PTP residency time stamping (such as Audio Dante), PTP residency time
stamping is automatically and globally reenabled.
•PTP residency time stamping is not a strict requirement: Whether you need to
use PTP residency time stamping depends on your network setup rather than the
network profile that you use. Therefore, PTP residency time stamping is not a strict
requirement for the network profiles that can use it, so you can manually disable PTP
residency time stamping (see Configure PTP residency time stamping on page 29).
This flexibility lets you, for example, use Audio AVB with Audio Dante on the same
switch.
Network profiles
You can use either a preconfigured AV profile template (for example, Dante Audio) or
a custom AV profile template that you created to set up one or multiple network profiles.
Change the Default VLAN profile
The default network profile is the Default VLAN profile, which uses the Data AV profile
template and VLAN 1. All ports are untagged members of VLAN 1. You can change the
AV profile template and the member ports. For each port, you can either remove the
port from VLAN 1 or change the port to a tagged port.
To change the Default VLAN profile:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
4. Select Configure > Network Profiles.
The Network Profiles page displays.
5. In the Configured Profiles table, to the right of the Default VLAN, click the 3 dots
icon and select Edit.
The Edit Profile Default window displays.
6. Select the ports to which the profile must apply.

network profile
When you configure a network profile, you must give the profile a name and assign it
to a VLAN. You can also assign a specific IP address to the profile and add a color for
visual representation.
To use an AV profile template to configure and assign a network profile:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
4. Select Configure > Network Profiles.
The Network Profiles page displays.

5. In the Profile Templates table, to the right of the AV profile template that you want
to use, do one of the following:
•Preconfigured AV profile template: Click the gear icon.
•Custom AV profile template: Click the 3 dots icon and select Configure.
The Profile Configure window displays.
6. Select the ports to add them to or exclude them from the VLAN to which the network
profile must apply:
•Untagged port: Click the port once. The port is added as an untagged port and
is marked with a green icon. To untag all ports, click the Untag all button.
•Tagged port: Click the port twice. The port is added as a tagged port and is
marked with a T icon (for tagged). To tag all ports, click the Tag all button.
•Excluded port: Do not click the port. The port is excluded and is not marked
with a green icon or T icon. To exclude all ports, click the Remove all button.
7. In the Profile Name field, enter a name for the profile.
Note: You cannot change the selection from the Profile Template menu.
8. From the VLAN ID menu, select the VLAN ID to which the template must apply.
9. To add a color to the network profile for visual representation, click the box in the
Color field, and select a color.
10. To assign a specific IP address to the network profile, and as an option, use the
network profile as a DHCP server, do the following:
a. Turn on the Edit VLAN Routing / DHCP Server toggle so that it displays green
and is positioned to the right.
The IP address menu and fields become available.
b. From the VLAN IP Settings menu, select Static or DHCP client.
By default, None is selected. If you select Static, you must specify the IP address
settings manually and you can also configure the network profile as a DHCP
server. (See the following step.)
If you select DHCP client, the network profile functions as a DHCP client and a
DHCP server in your network assigns an IP address to the network profile.
