Switch Management Interface 
The NETGEAR switch contains an embedded web server and management software for 
managing and monitoring switch functions. The NETGEAR switch functions as a simple 
switch without the management software. However, you can use the management software 
to configure more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network 
performance.
Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using 
a standard web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software 
products. From your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and 
optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as 
VLANs, QoS, and ACLs by using the web-based management interface.
NETGEAR provides the Smart Control Center utility with this product. This program runs on a 
Windows-based computer and provides a front end that discovers the switches on your 
network segment (L2 broadcast domain). When you power up your switch for the first time, 
use the Smart Control Center to discover the switch and view the network information that 
has been automatically assigned to the switch by a DHCP server; or, if no DHCP server is 
present on the network, use the Smart Control Center to discover the switch and assign static 
network information.
In addition to enabling NETGEAR switch discovery, the Smart Control Center provides 
several utilities to help you maintain the NETGEAR switch on your network, such as 
password management, firmware upgrade, and configuration file backup. For more about the 
Smart Control Center utilities, see the Smart Control Center User Guide at
