Discover Or Change The Switch Ip Address; Discover The Switch In A Network With A Dhcp Server - NETGEAR S350 Series User Manual

S350 Series 24-Port (PoE+) and 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switches
To change the default IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
• Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled on the switch by default. 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 the
Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server on page 12.
• Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a
network that does not include 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
Discover the Switch in a Network Without a DHCP Server on page 13.
• 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
computer in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the local
browser interface on the switch. For information about how to set the IP address on the
computer so that it is in the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch, see
Configure a Static IP Address From a Directly Connected Computer on page 16.

Discover or Change the Switch IP Address

The following sections describe methods that let you discover or change the IP address of
the switch.

Discover the Switch in a Network With a DHCP Server

This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that includes a DHCP server.
The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect the switch to your
network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the switch. Use the Smart
Control Center (SCC) to discover the IP address automatically assigned to the switch.
Note: For more information about the SCC program, see the SCC user manual,
which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server:
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 the Discover button for the Smart Control Center to discover all the devices in the
subnet.
