GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual 
Switch Management Interface 
The NETGEAR GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switches contain an embedded Web server 
and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. The GS108T and 
GS110TP function as simple switches 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
