Netgear XS728T – ProSAFE® 10 Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Guia Do Administrador

The NETGEAR switch contains an embedded web server and management software for 
managing and monitoring switch functions. The 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 
under Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 or Windows 7 (32

 

bit and 64

 

bit) 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 was 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.

To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser or SNMP, you must 
connect the switch to the network and configure it with network information (an IP address, 
subnet mask, and default gateway). The switch has a default IP address of 192.168.0.239 
and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. By default, the switch is also assigned a default 
gateway of 192.168.0.254.

To change the switch’s default network, use one of the following three methods:

Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the switch. If you 
connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network 
information automatically. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the 
automatically assigned network information. For more information, see 

Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the switch to a 
network that does not have a DHCP server, you can use the Smart Control Center to 
assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see 

5.

Static assignment by connecting from a local host. If you do not want to use the 
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch from a 
host (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by 
using the web-based management interface on the switch. For information about how to 
set the IP address on the administrative system so it is in the same subnet as the default 
IP address of the switch, see
