Discover the switch in a network without a DHCP server
using the Smart Control Center
This section describes how to use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to set up your switch in a
network without a DHCP server. If your network does not include a DHCP service, you must
assign a static IP address to your switch.
If you prefer, you can assign the switch a static IP address even if your network does include
a DHCP server.
As an offline option, if you connect your computer directly to the switch using an Ethernet
cable (that is, offline), you can also use the SCC to assign a static IP address to your switch.
After you do so, you can connect your switch to the network.
For information about the SCC, visit netgear.com/support/product/SCC.
To assign a static IP address:
1. Connect the switch to your existing network or directly to your computer using an
Ethernet cable.
Note: If you connect your computer directly to the switch using an Ethernet
cable, the IP address settings of your computer do not need to be in
the same IP subnet as the switch. The SCC can detect the IP address
settings of the switch even if they are in a different subnet.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the SCC on your computer.
4. Start the SCC.
5. Click the Discover button for the SCC to find your switch.
The utility broadcasts Layer 2 discovery packets within the broadcast domain to discover
the switch.
6. Select the switch, and then click the Configure Device button.
The page expands to display additional fields at the bottom.
7. Select the Disabled radio button.
DHCP is disabled.
8. Enter the static switch IP address, gateway IP address, and subnet mask that you want to
assign for the switch.
