To access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet after you
registered the switch with NETGEAR:
1.
Change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of
the switch.
If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network
with the DHCP server, the IP address reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.0.239
with a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Note:
If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a static IP
address to the switch, change the IP settings of your computer to be in
the same subnet as the static IP address.
For more information about changing the IP settings on your computer, see one of the
following knowledge base articles at the NETGEAR website:
