Management options
The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network
and configure, monitor, and control the switch:
•Device user interface: By default, the management mode of the switch is set to
Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the device user
interface (UI). In this mode, you can change all settings of the switch.
For more information about the device UI, see the user manual. To find the user
manual, visit netgear.com/support/download/ and enter your model number in the
search box.
Note: If you plan to use NETGEAR Insight to manage the switch, we recommend
that you do not use the device UI to change settings that are Insight manageable.
These settings would not be synchronized with Insight or to the network location to
which you assigned the switch. We recommend that use the Insight Cloud Portal or
Insight app to change Insight manageable settings.
•Smart CLI: The smart command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way to manage
and monitor the switch. You can access the CLI by using a direct serial connection,
or by using a remote logical connection with telnet or SSH. For more information
about the smart CLI, see the CLI manual. To find the CLI manual, visit
netgear.com/support/download/ and enter your model number in the search box.
•NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app: If you set the management mode
of the switch to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, you can use
the following applications to manage the switch remotely:
-Insight Cloud Portal: As an Insight Premium or Insight Pro user, you can use the
Insight Cloud Portal to set up the switch in the network; perform remote setup;
configure, manage, and monitor the switch; analyze the switch and network
usage; and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch and the network.
-Insight app: With the Insight app, you can discover the switch on the network
and add it to a network location. You can then set up the switch in the network,
and manage and monitor the switch remotely from your tablet or smartphone.
You can choose from four methods to add the switch to the Insight app: You can
scan your network for the switch, scan the QR code of the switch, scan the barcode
of the switch, or add the serial number of the switch.

Cloud Portal and Insight app have embedded help and are documented in multiple
