The login page of the local browser interface opens.
7. Enter the switch password.
The default password is
password
. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays. The page shows the IP address that is assigned
to the switch.
Tip:
You can copy and paste the IP address into a new shortcut or bookmark it for
quick access on your computer or mobile device. However, if you restart the switch,
a dynamic IP address (assigned by a DHCP server) might change and the bookmark
might no longer link to the login page for the switch. In that situation, you must
repeat this procedure so that you can discover the new IP address of the switch in
the network and update your bookmark accordingly. You can also set up a fixed
(static) IP address for the switch (see Set Up a Fixed IP Address for the Switch on
page 21) to make sure that the new bookmark always links to the login page for the
switch, even after you restart the switch.

To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network,
access the switch, and discover the switch IP address:
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, click or 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.
