Manage the Smart Control Center Utility

As a security enhancement, you can disable the Smart Control Center SCC utility. By default,
the utility is enabled and allows you to configure the switch (see Discover the switch in a
network with a DHCP server using the Smart Control Center on page 26 and Discover the
switch in a network without a DHCP server using the Smart Control Center on page 27).
To enable or disable the SCC administrative mode:

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network and
connected to the Internet on page 19 or Access the switch off-network on page 30.
The login page displays.
If the NETGEAR Business page displays, see Register and access the switch with your
NETGEAR account on page 34.

page 32.
