Getting Started with Switch Management

Your NETGEAR FS700TS 10/100 Stackable Smart Switch with Gigabit Ports contains an 
embedded web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. 
This switch operates as a simple switch without using the management software. The management 
software enables you to configure more advanced features, and consequently improve switch 
efficiency as well as overall network performance.

Web-Based Management enables you to monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely 
using a common web browser, instead of having to use expensive and complicated SNMP 
software products. Simply by using your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your 
switch and optimize network configuration. Using your browser, for example, you can set up 
VLANs, traffic priority, and configure port trunking.

In addition, NETGEAR provides the SmartWizard Discovery utility with this product. This 
program runs under Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 and provides a “front end” that 
discovers the switches on your network segment. When you power up your switch for the first 
time, the SmartWizard Discovery utility enables you to configure its basic network parameters 
without prior knowledge of IP address or subnet mask. Following such configuration, this program 
leads you into the Web Management interface.

Some features of the SmartWizard Discovery utility and Web Management interface are shown in 
the table below.
