Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to access the
switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that
is connected to the same network as the switch.
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool lets you discover the switch in your network and
access the local browser interface of the switch from a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based
computer.
To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network,
and access the local browser interface of the switch:
1. Download the Switch Discovery Tool by visiting

Depending on the computer that you are using, download either the Mac version or the
version for a 64-bit Windows-based computer.
2. Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these on the
computer that you use to configure the switch.
