Netgear GS716Tv3 – ProSAFE 16-Port Gigabit Managed Switch Guia Do Administrador

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 
under Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Vista 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 switches 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
