Switch Management Overview

2-1

This chapter gives an overview of switch management, including the methods you can use to 
manage your NETGEAR Smart Switch Series Switch. Topics include:

•

Management Access Overview 

•

SNMP Access 

•

Protocols 

Your NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way 
it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work.  You can use the 10/
100 Mbps ports and the built-in Gigabit ports without using the management software.  However, 
the management software allows you configure ports, VLAN and Trunking features and also 
improve the efficiency of the switch and, as a result, improve the overall performance of your 
network. The Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the switch using any of the 
following methods:  

•

Smartwizard Discovery Utility program  

•

Web browser interface 

After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can configure it using a utility program called  
Smartwizard Discovery or a Web browser.  Please refer to the screenshots in following pages for  
Smartwizard Discovery Utility and Web Management GUI.  Each of these management methods 
has advantages. The table below compares the two management methods.
