Determine the Switch IP Address Through the NETGEAR Switch Discovery
Tool and Access the Switch On-Network
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool lets you discover the switch in your network and
access the local browser interface of the switch from a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based
computer. If your Mac does not support Bonjour, you can use the following procedure.
To use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool and access the switch that is connected
to a network:
1.
Download the Switch Discovery Tool by visiting
netgear.com/support/product/gs110emx.aspx#download
Depending on the computer that you are using, download either the Mac version or the
version for a 64-bit Windows-based computer.
2.
Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these on the
computer that you use to configure the switch.
3.
Unzip the Switch Discovery Tool files, double-click the
Setup.exe
file (for example,
NetgearSDT-V1.1.115_Win_x64_Setup.exe
), and install the program on your
computer.
Depending on your computer setup, the installation process might add the
NETGEAR
Switch Discovery Tool
icon to the Dock of your Mac or the desktop of your
Windows-based computer.
4.
Reenable the security services on your computer.
5.
