24-Port and 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switches with 4 SFP Ports

Step 9: Manage the switch

The switch is a plug-and-play device that starts switching as soon as you plug it into
power and your network.
After you complete the initial log-in procedure, you can configure the switch using the
local browser UI. If you are an Insight Premium or Insight Pro user, after you complete
the initial log-in procedure, you can also change the management mode so that you
can finish configuring the switch using the the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app. For
more information, see Management options on page 6.
For more information about managing the switch using the local browser UI, including
tools to discover the switch IP address in your network, see the user manual. To find the
user manual, visit netgear.com/support/download/ and enter your model number in
the search box.

Cloud Portal and Insight app have embedded help and are documented in multiple

Note: By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. If the switch cannot get an
IP address from a DHCP server, the switch's default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and the
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
