The NETGEAR ® GS716Tv2 and GS724Tv3 Software Administration Manual describes how to
configure and operate the Gigabit Smart Switch using its included software features by using the
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI). The book describes the software configuration
procedures and explains the options available within those procedures.

Audience

The information in this guide is intended for any of the following individuals:
• System administrators who are responsible for configuring and operating a network using
GS716T/GS724T Smart Switch software
• Level 1 and/or Level 2 Support providers
To obtain the greatest benefit from this guide, you should have basic knowledge of Ethernet and
networking concepts. When the basic configuration of the switch is performed, it will function in a
network using its remaining factory default parameters. However, a greater level of configuration
—anywhere from the basic up to the maximum possible—will give your network the full benefit
of the switch's features. The Web interface simplifies this configuration at all levels.
