NETGEAR Insight and the credentials for the local browser
interface
If you use NETGEAR Insight, the credentials that you must use to access the switch local
browser interface might change:
•
No credential change: Use NETGEAR Insight to discover but not manage the
switch
. Under the following circumstances, you can continue to use the local device
password to access the local browser interface after initial registration:
-
You use the Insight app to discover the switch in your physical network.
-
You add the switch to an Insight network location.
-
You do
not
want to manage the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal
and, therefore, you do not change the management mode on the switch.
•
Credential change: Use NETGEAR Insight to discover and manage the switch
.
Under the following circumstances, you must use the Insight network location password
to access the local browser interface after initial registration:
-
You use the Insight app to discover the switch in your physical network.
-
You add the switch to an Insight network location.
-
You do want to manage the switch with the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal and,
therefore, you change the management mode on the switch to NETGEAR Insight
Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal mode.
In this situation, the Insight network password for the location replaces the switch local
device password. Even if you manage the switch through Insight, you can access a
limited version of the local browser interface, but you must use the Insight network
password for the location.
If you later decide to change the management mode to Direct Connect Web-browser
Interface (see
Change the management mode of the switch on page
continue to use the Insight network password (for the last Insight network location) to
access the local browser interface until you manually change the local device password
(see
Change the local device password for the local browser interface on page
).
