(off-network). You can also configure the switch with it connected to your network,
router, or modem, (on-network) but you must be able to determine the IP address of
the switch if your network uses DHCP.
Access a switch that is connected to a network
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. To access the switch, use the IP
address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
To determine the IP address of the switch, do one of the following:
•
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to detect the IP address (see Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery
Tool to access the switch on page 9).
•
If you use a Mac that supports Bonjour, use Bonjour to detect the IP address (see
Access the switch from a Mac using Bonjour on page 11).
•
Access the DHCP server.
•
Use an IP scanner utility.
To use your web browser to configure a switch that is connected to a network:
1. Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP
addresses.
2. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
3. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
4. Determine the IP address of the switch.
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. Use the IP address that the
DHCP server assigned to the switch.
5. Open a web browser, and enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
6. Enter the device admin password.
Use the default password printed on the device label the first time you log in, and
then you must set a new device password. The password is case-sensitive.
7. Click the Login button.
You can now configure additional options for the switch through the device UI.
For information about setting up a fixed (static) IP address for the switch, see Specify
IP address settings for the switch on page 46.
