Congure the switch with a static IP address
Note: If your network uses a DHCP server, this section does not apply.
If you are using static IP addresses in your network, congure the switch IP
address before you connect the switch to a network.
1. Congure a computer with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
2. Power on the switch, and connect your computer to the switch using an
Ethernet cable.
3. Open a web browser and enter 192.168.0.239 in the address bar.
(The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239.)
A login page displays.
4. Enter password for the password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > IP Conguration. Select the Static IP
Address radio button.
6. Enter the static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway IP address that
you want to assign to the switch and click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Congure the switch
To congure the switch either:
• Use the local browser browser–based interface.
• Install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool on your Mac or a 64-bit
Windows-based computer.
• Install the Smart Control Center utility on your Windows-based computer.
Access the local browser interface
1. For initial conguration, open a web browser on a computer that is on the
same network and subnet as the switch and enter the switch’s IP address.
If you are unsure how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use
the Smart Control Center utility.
2. A login page displays. Enter password for the password.
The System Information page displays.
3. Congure the switch for your network.
For information about switch conguration, see the user manual for your
switch, which you can download from netgear.com/support/.
Other discovery and conguration methods
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool and the Smart Control Center utility let you
discover the IP address and congure the switch.
• NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool. You can use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-
based computer on the same network as the switch. To download this tool,
visit netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.
• Smart Control Center utility. You can use a Windows-based computer on
the same network as the switch. To download this utility, visit netgear.com/
support/product/SCC.
Troubleshooting tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur.
• Be sure to power on your computer and switch in the following sequence:
a. Turn on the switch and wait about two minutes.
b. Turn on the computer and connect it to the switch.
• Make sure the Ethernet cables are plugged in.
For each powered-on computer connected to the switch, the corresponding
switch LAN port status LED is lit.
• Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
In most cases, computers should be congured to obtain an IP address
through DHCP. If your network uses static IP addresses, be sure that the switch
and computer are congured with valid IP addresses. For more information,
see the user manual.
