Netgear m6100 Manuale Utente

For information about how to perform the initial configuration of the switch through the 
CLI, see 

8.

For detailed information about how to use the CLI to configure the switch with all its 
options, see the M6100 Command Line Interface Manual that, which is available at 

When you supply power to the switch, the switch goes through a power-on self-test (POST). 
The POST runs every time that the switch initializes and checks the switch hardware before 
booting the switch. If the POST detects a critical problem, the startup procedure stops. The 
boot process runs for approximately 60 seconds.

If POST passes successfully, a valid executable image loads into RAM. If you connect a local 
terminal to the switch, POST messages display on the terminal and indicate test success or 
failure. 



Locate an AC power receptacle.

Connect the switch to the AC receptacle.

The switch does not provide an on/off button.

The network interface and service port let you access the switch from a remote workstation 
over an Ethernet network. You must configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default 
gateway on the switch.

The network interface, which you can access through any regular port in 
the management VLAN, is an in-band connection. The service port, 
which is located on the front panel and marked OOB, is an out-of-band 
(OOB) connection.

Perform the initial configuration of the switch by using one of the following methods:

BootP or DHCP server. Use a BootP or DHCP server over the network interface or 
service port (see 

8).

CLI. Use the CLI over the console port (see 

8).
