Step 7: Manage The Switch Through A Web Browser Or Through The Smart Control Center - NETGEAR ProSAFE FS728TLP Hardware Installation Manual

Step 7: Manage the Switch through a Web Browser or
through the Smart Control Center
The switch contains management software that lets you view, change, and monitor the way
the switch functions. The management software is not required for the switch to function. You
can use the ports without using the management software. However, the management
software lets you configure VLAN and trunking features, and lets you improve the efficiency
of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the
performance of the network.
After you have powered the switch for the first time, you can configure and manage the
switch by using either a web browser or the Smart Control Center utility. For information
about configuring and managing the switch, see the web management user guide.
Note: If the switch cannot connect to a DHCP server, the switch uses
192.168.0.239 as its default IP address and 255.255.255.0 as its
default subnet mask.
Note: To access the web management interface, enter password as the
default password.
