Reboot the Switch From the Local Browser
Interface
You can reboot the switch remotely from the local browser interface.
To reboot the switch from the local browser interface:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch or to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is
password
. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, to the right of NETGEAR, click the three-dot
icon and select
Reboot Switch
.
A pop-up window displays.
5. Click the
CONTINUE
button.
The switch reboots. Your switch web session is disconnected and you must log back
in to the local browser interface.
Detect a Network Loop
When a network loop occurs, the switch, and possibly the router to which the switch is
connected, could become very sluggish or traffic on your network could come to a halt.
By default, loop detection is enabled on the switch. (You cannot disable it.)
If the switch detects a network loop, all port LEDs for the ports that are being used blink
blue fast. This visual warning allows you to determine which ports are involved in the
loop and remove the loop.
