1. Getting Started
This manual describes how to configure and operate the XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit
L2+ Smart Switch by using the web-based graphical user interface (GUI). This manual describes
the software configuration procedures and explains the options available within those
procedures. These switches are referred to as the NETGEAR switch throughout this document.
This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR switch and accessing the user
interface. It also describes some actions that can be performed in the Smart Control Center
(SCC) application, which can be downloaded to your computer.
This guide does not document the SCC application. Full documentation for SCC is found at
http://docs.netgear.com/scc/enu/202-10685-01/index.htm.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Switch Management Interface
•Connect the Switch to the Network
•Discover a Switch in a Network with a DHCP Server
•Switch Discovery in a Network Without a DHCP Server
•Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative System
•Access the Management Interface from the Web
•Interface Naming Convention

XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch
Switch Management Interface
The NETGEAR switch contains an embedded web server and management software for
managing and monitoring switch functions. The switch functions as a simple switch without
the management software. However, you can use the management software to configure
more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.
Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using
a standard web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software
products. From your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and
optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as
VLANs, QoS, and ACLs, by using the web-based management interface.
NETGEAR provides the Smart Control Center utility with this product. This program runs
under Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 or Windows 7 (32
bit and 64 bit) and
provides a front end that discovers the switches on your network segment (L2 broadcast
domain). When you power up your switch for the first time, use the Smart Control Center to
discover the switch and view the network information that was automatically assigned to the
switch by a DHCP server; or, if no DHCP server is present on the network, use the Smart
Control Center to discover the switch and assign static network information.
Connect the Switch to the Network
To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser or SNMP, you must
connect the switch to the network and configure it with network information (an IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway). The switch has a default IP address of 192.168.0.239
and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. By default, the switch is also assigned a default
gateway of 192.168.0.254.
To change the switch’s default network, use one of the following three methods:
•Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the switch. If you
connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network
information automatically. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the
automatically assigned network information. For more information, see Discover a Switch
in a Network with a DHCP Server on page 5.
•Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a
network that does not have a DHCP server, you can use the Smart Control Center to
assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see
Switch Discovery in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 5.
•Static assignment by connecting from a local host. If you do not want to use the
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch from a
host (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by
using the web-based management interface on the switch. For information about how to
set the IP address on the administrative system so it is in the same subnet as the default
IP address of the switch, see Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative
System on page 6.

XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch
Discover a Switch in a Network with a DHCP Server
This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that has a DHCP server. The
DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect it to your network, the
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to your switch. To discover the IP address
automatically assigned to the switch, use the Smart Control Center.
To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server, use the following steps:
1. Connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer.
4. Start the Smart Control Center.
5. Click Discover for the Smart Control Center to find your switch.
6. Make a note of the displayed IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
You need this value to access the switch directly from a web browser (without using the
Smart Control Center).
7. Select your switch by clicking the line that displays the switch, then click the
Web
Browser Access button.
The Smart Control Center displays a login window.
The default password is password. Use this screen to manage your switch. For more
information, see Access the Management Interface from the Web on page 8.
Switch Discovery in a Network Without a DHCP Server
This section describes how to use the Smart Control Center to set up your switch in a
network without a DHCP server. If your network has no DHCP service, you must assign a
static IP address to your switch. You can assign it a static IP address, even if your network
has DHCP service.
To assign a static IP address:
1. Connect the switch to your existing network.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer.
4. Start the Smart Control Center.
5. Click Discover for the Smart Control Center to find your NETGEAR switch.
The utility broadcasts Layer 2 discovery packets within the broadcast domain to discover
the switch.
6. Select the switch, then click Configure Device.

Getting Started
6
XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch
The screen expands to display more fields at the bottom of the screen.
7. Select the Disabled radio button to disable DHCP.
8. Enter the static switch IP address, gateway IP address, and subnet mask for the switch and
type your password.
Tip: You must enter the current password every time you use the Smart
Control Center to update the switch setting. The default password is
password.
9. Click Apply to configure the switch with the network settings.
Ensure that your computer and the switch are in the same subnet. Make a note of these
settings for later use.
Configure the Network Settings on the Administrative
System
If you do not use the Smart Control Center to configure the switch network information, you
can connect directly to the switch from an administrative system, such as a computer or
laptop. The IP address of the administrative system must be in the same subnet as the
default IP address on the switch. For most networks, this means you must change the IP
address of the administrative system to be on the same subnet as the default IP address of
the switch (192.168.0.239).
To change the IP address on an administrative system running a Windows operating system,
open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties screen that you access from each local area
connection, as shown in the following screen. You need Windows Administrator privileges to
change these settings.

XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch
WARNING:
When you change the IP address of your administrative system,
connection to the rest of the network is lost. Be sure to write down
your current network address settings before you change them.
To modify the network settings on your administrative system:
1. On your computer, access the Windows operating system TCP/IP Properties screen.
2. Set the IP address of the administrative system to an address in the 192.168.0.0 network,
such as 192.168.0.200.
The IP address must be different from the switch’s address but within the same subnet.
3. Click OK.
To configure a static address on the switch:
1. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the administrative
system directly to any port on the NETGEAR switch.
2. Open a web browser on your computer and connect to the management interface.
For more information, see Access the Management Interface from the Web on page 8.
3. Change the network settings on the switch to match the settings on your network.
For more information, see IP Configuration on page 20.
4. Return the network configuration on your administrative system to the original settings.

Use SNMP
The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage
traps that the SNMP agent generates.
The switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that
support more switch functionality. The main object for interface configuration is in
-SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects
in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System Information web screen, which displays after a
successful login, displays the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access
the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol. However, for authentication
and encryption, the switch only supports a single user called admin, which is the only profile
that can be created or modified.
See SNMP on page 32 for more information
Interface Naming Convention
The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and
the interface number. The switches support the following types of ports:
•Ports 1–28 are 1G/10G 10 Gigabit ports.
•Ports 1-24 are copper ports (RJ45).
•Ports 25–28 are fiber ports (SFP+).
The number of the port is identified on the front panel. You can configure the logical
interfaces by using the software. The following table describes the naming convention for all
interfaces available on the switch.
