NETGEAR ProSAFE M4300 series User manual

Installation Guide
3. Connect devices to the switch.
We recommend using the following cables and, if applicable, SFP modules:
• Use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable for a copper port at 1 Gbps and a
Category 5e or better (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7) cable for a copper
port at 10 Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AGM734 for a copper port at 1 Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AGM731F or AGM732F for a ber port at 1 Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AXM761, AXM762, or AXM764 for a ber port at
10Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AXC761 (1 m), AXC763 (3 m), AXC765 (5 m), AXC767
(7m), AXC7610 (10 m), AXC7615 (15 m), or AXC7620 (20 m) cable for a
ber port.
Note: If purchased, SFP modules and cables are shipped separately. For more
information about installing an SFP module, see the hardware installation guide.
2. Congure the IP address of the switch
You can access the switch through the out-of-band (OOB) port (which is also
referred to as the service port) through a console port, or through any Ethernet
network port. By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client.
To congure the IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
• Local browser–based management interface. Use the local browser
interface through the OOB port or any Ethernet network port (see Use the
local browser interface to congure the IP address).
• CLI. Use the command-line interface (CLI) through the mini USB console port
or RJ-45 RS232 console port. You can congure the IP address manually or
use the ezcong utility (see Use the CLI to congure the IP address).
• DHCP server. Connect a DHCP server through the OOB port or through
any Ethernet network port and nd the assigned IP address (see Find the IP
address assigned by the DHCP server).
After you congure or nd the IP address of the switch, you can congure the
features of the switch through either the local browser interface or the CLI.

1. Set up the switch
Prepare the installation site so that mounting, access, power source, and
environmental requirements are met. For more information about these
requirements, see the hardware installation guide, which you can download by
visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
1. Install the switch using one of the following methods:
• On a at surface. Attach one of the rubber footpads that came with the
switch on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
• In a rack. Use the rack-mount kit that is supplied with your switch,
following the installation instructions in the hardware installation guide.
2. Apply AC power.
The Power LED lights solid yellow while the switch conducts a power-on
self-test (POST). After the switch passes the POST, the Power LED lights solid
green, and the switch is functional. If the Power LED does not light green, see
the following information:
• If the Power LED remains solid yellow, the POST failed. For more
information, see the hardware installation guide.
• If the Power LED does not light at all, check to see that the power cable
is plugged in correctly and that the power source is functioning. If this
action does not resolve the problem, see the hardware installation guide
for more information.
Use the local browser interface to congure the IP address
You can use a computer on the same subnet as the switch to access the local
browser interface over the switch’s default IP address and assign a different static
IP address to the switch.
1. Congure your computer with a static IP address:
• For access over an Ethernet network port, use an IP address in the
169.254.0.0/16 subnet. For example, use 169.254.100.201.
• For access over the OOB port, use an IP address in the 192.168.0.0/16
subnet. For example, use 192.168.0.100.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an
Ethernet network port on the switch or to the OOB port on the switch.
3. Launch a web browser and enter the default IP address of the switch in the
address eld of the browser:
• For access over an Ethernet network port, enter 169.254.100.100.
• For access over the OOB port, enter 192.168.0.239.
A login window displays.
4. Enter admin for the user name, leave the password eld blank, and click the
LOGIN button.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Initial Setup.
6. Congure the IP address settings of the management interface and OOB
port.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your setting are saved.

Use the CLI to congure the IP address
To use the CLI for initial conguration and assign a static or dynamic IP address
to the switch, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal to one of the console
ports on the switch.
1. Depending on the connector type at your computer or terminal, and the port
that you are using on the switch, use one of the following cables, both of
which are included in the product package:
• USB console cable for use with the mini USB console port.
Note: To use the mini USB port, you must install the USB driver on the
computer. You can download the driver by visiting
netgear.com/support/download/.
• Console cable for use with the RJ-45 RS232 console port.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate port on the switch and
connect the other end to your computer or terminal.
3. If you connect a computer to a console port on the switch, start a terminal
emulation program:
• On a computer with a Windows operating system, you can use
HyperTerminal or Tera Term.
• On a computer with a Mac operating system, you can use ZTerm.
• On a computer with a Linux operating system, you can use TIP.
4. If you connect a computer to a console port on the switch, congure the
terminal emulation program to use the following settings: baud rate, 115,200
bps; data bits, 8; parity, none; stop bit, 1; ow control, none.
5. At the user prompt, log in to the switch using the user name admin and
press Enter. At the password prompt, do not type a password but press Enter.
You can now use the CLI to manually congure the IP address of the switch,
or to use the ezcong utility, continue with the next step.
Note: For information about CLI management, see the CLI reference manual.
6. At the next command prompt, type ezcong and press Enter.
The ezcong utility is now running on the switch.

EZ Conguration Utility
7. Using ezcong, set up the basic switch conguration, including a static IP
address and subnet mask.
8. Use the switch IP address that is assigned by ezcong to log in to the switch’s
local browser interface.
Find the IP address assigned by the DHCP server
By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client and gets its IP address from
a DHCP server in the network. To nd the assigned IP address of the switch’s
management interface or OOB port, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI
terminal to one of the console ports on the switch.
1. Make sure that the switch is connected to a DHCP server.
2. Set up a console connection with the switch.
For information about setting up a console connection, see Steps 1 through 5
in Use the CLI to congure the IP address. After you are logged in and at the
CLI command prompt, continue with the next step.
3. At the command prompt, type one of the following commands:
• To nd the IP address of the management interface, type the
show ip management command, and press Enter.
• To nd the IP address of the OOB port (which is also referred to as the
service port), type the show serviceport command, and press Enter.
The active IP address displays.
4. Use either the management interface IP address or the OOB port IP address
to log in to the switch’s local browser interface.
3. Log in to the local browser interface
Manage the features of your switch through the local browser interface with the
appropriate IP address for your conguration.
Note: When you access the switch, make sure that it is running the latest
rmware version. To download rmware, visit netgear.com/support/.
1. Enter http://<ipaddress> in the web browser address eld.
A login window displays.
2. Enter admin for the user name, leave the password eld blank, and click the
LOGIN button.
The System Information page displays. You can now navigate from this page
to other pages and congure your switch.
