Access the Management Interface from a Web Browser

To access the switch management interface, use one of the following methods:
• From the Smart Control Center, select the switch and click the Web Browser Access
button. For more information, see the Smart Control Center User Guide at
http://docs.netgear.com/scc/enu/202-10685-01/index.htm.
• Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.
You must be able to ping the IP address of the switch web management interface from your
administrative system for web access to be available. If you used the Smart Control Center to
set up the IP address and subnet mask, either with or without a DHCP server, use that IP
address in the address field of your web browser. If you did not change the IP address of the
switch from the default value, enter 192.168.0.239 in the address field.
Clicking the Web Browser Access button on the Smart Control Center or accessing the
switch directly from your web browser displays the Login screen.

Understand the User Interfaces

The switch software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring
and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:
• Web user interface
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the
components of the switch software. The method you use to manage the system depends on
your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
This manual describes how to use the web interface to manage and monitor the system.

requirements:
