S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

Step 9: Manage the switch

The switch contains built-in web browser–accessible software for viewing, changing,
and monitoring the way it functions. This management software is not required for the
switch to work. You can use the ports without using the management software. However,
the management software enables the setup of VLAN and trunking features and also
improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall
performance as well as the performance of the network.
After you power on the switch for the first time, you can configure the switch using the
local browser interface for advanced setup and configuration of features, or the Smart
Control Center program (which requires a Windows-based computer) for very basic
setup. For more information about managing the switch, including information about
tools to discover the switch IP address in your network, see the user manual, which you
can download from netgear.com/support/download/.
Note: The switch's default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and its default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled.
