About configuring the switch
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used without any
configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices,
and you’re done.
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router
or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses and power on the switch. However, it is also
possible to configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are
using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network).
You can configure and manage advanced features of the switch by using your computer’s
web browser and accessing the switch at its IP address.
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, you can use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the device user interface
(UI) of the switch.
For more information, see the following sections:
•
Access the switch using a web browser on page 17
•
Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to access the switch on page 20
•
Assign a fixed IP address to the switch on page 21
Access the switch using a web browser
This manual describes how to use the device user interface, referred to as the device
UI.
You can access and configure the switch directly through its device UI by entering the
IP address of the switch in the address bar of a browser.
When you access the device UI to configure the switch, you can configure the switch
with it connected to your network, router, or modem, (on-network) but you must
determine the IP address that is assigned to the switch. (By default, the switch is a DHCP
client.)
You can also configure the switch not connected to your network (off-network) using
its default IP address. In that case, you must temporarily set the computer that you are
using to configure the switch to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP
address of the switch.
User Manual17Get Started
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches
Access a switch that is connected to a network
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. To access the switch, use the IP
address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
To determine the IP address of the switch, do one of the following:
•
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to detect the IP address (see Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery
Tool to access the switch on page 20).
•
Access the DHCP server.
•
Use an IP scanner utility.
To use your web browser to configure a switch that is connected to a network:
1. Cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server that manages IP
addresses.
2. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
3. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
4.

Access a switch that is off-network
To use your web browser to configure a switch that is not connected to a network:
1.
Record your computer’s TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the
computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet
mask.
Note: If you are unsure how to do this, visit the support website at
netgear.com/support and search for Static IP address on computer.
2. Plug the switch into a power outlet and then connect your computer to the switch
using an Ethernet cable.
You can connect the Ethernet cable to any port on the switch.
3.
Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239.
This is the default address of the switch.
The login window opens.

Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches
Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to
access the switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router
or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer
that is connected to the same network as the switch.
Depending on your model switch, the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool lets you discover
the switch in your network and access the device UI of the switch from a Mac or a
Windows-based computer.
To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network,
and access the device UI of the switch:
1. Download the Switch Discovery Tool by visiting
netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.
Depending on the computer that you are using, download either the Mac version
or the version for a 64-bit Windows-based computer.
2.
Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these
on the computer that you use to configure the switch.
3.
Unzip the Switch Discovery Tool files, double-click the .exe or .dmg file (for example,
NETGEAR+Switch+Discovery+Tool+Setup+1.2.101.exe or
NetgearSDT-V1.2.101.dmg), and install the program on your computer.
The installation process places a NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool icon on your
desktop.
4. Reenable the security services on your computer.
5. Power on the switch.

The Switch Information page displays.
Assign a fixed IP address to the switch
By default, the switch is configured to automatically receive an IP address from a DHCP
server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. However, certain
events can cause the DHCP server to issue a new IP address to the switch, so if you need
the switch to persistently have the same IP address, you can assign a fixed (static) IP
address to the switch. For example, you may want to attach a shared device such as a
printer or file server, configure port forwarding, or set up the switch so you can connect
remotely from a mobile device.
To change the IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
•
Connect to the switch through the network: If the switch and your computer are
connected to the same network, you can change the IP address of the switch through
a network connection (see Set a fixed IP address for the switch through a network

VLAN overview
You can set up a VLAN (virtual local area network) to group traffic passing through the
switch and other networked devices so that members of the VLAN function as part of a
single isolated network. VLANs can offer benefits such as enhanced security, improved
load balancing, better use of shared resources, and more efficient network management.
Ports can be grouped in VLANs using either the port-based or 802.1Q tag-based method:
•
Port-based VLANs: These are the simplest types of VLANs. To set up a port-based
VLAN, you select the ports that you want to be members of the VLAN, which creates
a virtual network consisting of all devices connected to the member ports.
If the switch is the only switch in your network and you do not need a VLAN to function
across multiple network devices (such as a router, another switch, a WiFi access
point, or any network device that supports VLANs), we recommend that you use a
port-based VLAN. The switch supports the following types of port-based VLANs:
-
Basic port-based VLAN: If each port only needs to belong to a single VLAN
(except the uplink port, which is the port that connects your switch to your router),
you can use a basic port-based VLAN. To set up a basic port-based VLAN, you
assign the same VLAN ID to one or more ports. Except for the uplink port, a port
belongs to a single basic port-based VLAN only, so the number of basic
port-based VLANs cannot be greater than the number of ports on the switch.
-
Advanced port-based VLAN: If you want ports to belong to multiple VLANs,
you can use an advanced port-based VLAN. To set up an advanced port-based
VLAN, you assign the same VLAN ID to one or more ports to make them members
of this VLAN, but you can also assign other VLAN IDs to these ports to make them
members of other VLANs.
•
802.1Q-based VLANs (tag-based VLANs): Tagged VLANs are more flexible, and
the switch can support many more tagged VLANs than port-based VLANs. The switch
supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard, which lets you assign tags to Ethernet frames
to route VLAN traffic. When a port receives data tagged for a VLAN, the port accepts
the data only if the port is a member of that VLAN. Otherwise, the port discards the
data. You can also route traffic from the switch through an 802.1Q VLAN that is set
up on another network device in your LAN (or even outside your LAN) by using the
same VLAN ID on both network devices.
If you need a VLAN to function across multiple network devices (such as a router,
another switch, a WiFi access point, or any network device that supports VLANs), we
recommend that you use an 802.1Q-based VLAN. The switch supports the following
types of 802.1Q-based VLANs:
-
Basic 802.1Q-based VLAN: If you do not need custom tagging on a port, you
can use a basic 802.1Q-based VLAN. When you use a basic 802.1Q-based VLAN,
User Manual29Use VLANS for Traffic
Segmentation
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches
VLAN 1 is added to the switch and all ports are assigned as untagged members
of VLAN 1. You can then assign a port to a different VLAN in a range from 1 to
4093, but the port can belong to a single VLAN only.
-
Advanced 802.1Q-based VLAN: If you need custom tagging on a port, you
must use an advanced 802.1Q-based VLAN. When you use an advanced
802.1Q-based VLAN, VLAN 1 is added to the switch and all ports are untagged
members of VLAN 1, but you can tag or untag ports, remove ports from the VLAN,
assign ports to different VLANs in a range from 1 to 4093, and manage port
PVIDs.
Basic port-based VLANs: Assign ports to
VLANs
A port-based VLAN configuration lets you assign ports on the switch to a VLAN. The
number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. In a basic port-based
VLAN configuration, ports with the same VLAN ID are placed into the same VLAN.
You can also assign ports to multiple VLANs (see Advanced port-based VLANs: Assign
ports to multiple VLANs on page 31).
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
To assign ports to basic port-based VLANs:

A default port VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns to data packets
it receives that are not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN. For example,
if you connected a computer on port 6 and you want it to be a part of VLAN 2, configure
port 6 to automatically add a PVID of 2 to all data received from the computer. This step
ensures that the data from the computer on port 6 can be seen only by other members
of VLAN 2. You can assign only one PVID to a port.

About Quality of Service
To manage traffic on the switch, you can manually set the Quality of Service (QoS) mode.
The switch supports the following QoS modes, which are mutually exclusive and, once
selected, apply to all ports on the switch:
•
Port-based QoS mode: Lets you manually set the priority level for individual ports.
For example, you can select Low Priority (P0). For more information, see Set
port-based QoS and set the priority level for one or more ports on page 41.
•
802.1p/DSCP QoS mode: Automatically applies pass-through prioritization for
traffic (for example, voice or video) that is based on tagged packets. This QoS mode
applies to all ports but only for traffic for connected devices that support 802.1p
tagging or Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) tagging. For connected devices
that do not support 802.1p or DSCP tagging, traffic is not prioritized. For more
information, see Set 802.1p/DSCP-based QoS for all ports on page 43.
Note: 802.1p-based QoS is available on all models. DSCP-based QoS is available
on models GS105Ev2, GS105PEv2, GS108Ev3, GS108PEv3, GS305E, and GS308E
only.
Independently of the selected QoS mode, the switch supports the following QoS features:
•
Rate limiting: You can limit the rate of traffic on a port, including incoming traffic,
outgoing traffic, or both, to prevent the port and the connected device from taking
up too much bandwidth on the switch. Rate limiting simply means that the switch
slows down all traffic on the port so that traffic does not exceed the limit that you set
for that port. If you set the rate limit on a port too low, you might notice degraded
video stream quality, sluggish response times during online activity, and other
problems. For more information, see Set up rate limiting on page 44.

Broadcast filtering: Broadcast filtering is a security feature that can prevent a
transmission delay or blockage if a broadcast storm occurs. You can also set the
storm control rate for incoming traffic for individual ports. For more information, see
Set up broadcast filtering on page 46.
Set port-based QoS and set the priority level
for one or more ports
You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher
priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports

configured as higher priority transmit their packets first. You must determine which
ports will carry delay-sensitive data.
To set port-based QoS and set the priority level for one or more ports:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.

Note: 802.1p-based QoS is available on all models. DSCP-based QoS is available on
models GS105Ev2, GS105PEv2, GS108Ev3, GS108PEv3, GS305E, and GS308E only.
802.1p/DSCP-based priority uses a field in the data packet header that identifies the
class of data in the packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p/DSCP-based
priority is used, the switch reads information in the packet header to determine the
priority to assign to the packet. The switch reads both 802.1p tag information and
DSCP/ToS tag information. If an ingress packet contains both an 802.1p tag and a
DSCP/ToS tag, the switch gives precedence to the 802.1p tag.
All ports on the switch check the packet header and transmit the packet with a priority
determined by the packet content.

Set up broadcast filtering
You can configure the switch to block broadcast storms (massive transmission of
broadcast packets forwarded to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked,
broadcast storms can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches allow
you to select a storm control rate for each port. Others assign a predetermined storm
control rate for all ports on the switch.
If broadcast traffic on any port exceeds the threshold that you set, the switch temporarily
blocks (discards) the broadcast packets.

Specify IP address settings for the switch
By default, the switch IP address works as follows:
•
If you cable the switch to a network with a DHCP server before you power on the
switch, the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch when the switch is
powered on.
•
If you power on the switch when it is not connected to a network with a DHCP server,
the switch uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.0.239.
You can disable the DHCP mode in the switch and enter static IP address and subnet
mask values for the switch as well as the address of the gateway device used by the
switch.

Manage multicast traffic with IGMP snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows a switch to forward
multicast traffic intelligently on the switch. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to
a host group. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the
switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic. This feature
prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly affecting
network performance.
The switch maintains a map that shows which links need which IP multicast streams. The
switch forwards multicast traffic only to the links that requested them and cuts multicast
traffic from links that do not contain a multicast listener. Essentially, IGMP snooping
helps optimize multicast performance at Layer 2 and is especially useful for
bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV.

Set up link aggregation groups
Note: Static link aggregation (port trunking) is supported on models GS116E, JGS516PE,
JGS524E, and JGS524PE.
Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a
single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which
increases fault tolerance and load sharing.
The number of LAGs that the switch supports depends on the model.
Configure LAG membership before you enable the LAG.
Note: The switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP) groups but supports manual static LAGs only.

PoE considerations for switches that support
PoE
A switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) prioritizes the PoE power that it supplies
in ascending port order (that is, from the lowest-numbered port to the highest-numbered
port), up to its total power budget. If the power requirements for the attached powered
devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the
highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the
higher-priority, lower numbered ports are supported first.
Just because a PD is listed as an 802.3at PoE powered device does not necessarily mean
that it requires the maximum power limit of the specification. Many PDs require less
power, allowing all PoE ports to be active simultaneously.
The following table describes the PoE classes and the PoE power that a switch allocates.

Test cable connections
You can use the cable diagnostic feature to easily find out the health status of network
cables. If any problems exist, this feature helps quickly locate the point where the cabling
fails, allowing connectivity issues to be fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians
hours of troubleshooting.
If an error is detected, the distance at which the fault is detected is stated in meters.
(This is the distance from the port.)
To test cable connections:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch using a web
browser on page 17.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The
password is case-sensitive.

User Manual75Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches
The switch tests the cable connection for the selected ports and displays the results.
This process might take up to a few minutes.
Resolve a subnet conflict to access the switch
If you power on the switch before you connect it to a network that includes a DHCP
server, the switch uses its own default IP address of 192.168.0.239. This subnet might
be different from the subnet used in your network. You might see the following message
if you try to access the switch:
The switch and manager IP address are not in the same subnet.
To resolve this subnet conflict:
1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the switch and your network.
2. Shut down power to the switch.
3. Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the switch and your network.
4. Reapply power to the switch.
The switch powers on. The network DHCP server discovers the switch and assigns
it an IP address that is in the correct subnet for the network.
PoE troubleshooting suggestions
Here are some tips for correcting Power over Ethernet (PoE) problems that might occur
on switches that support PoE:
•
Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, disconnect
one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription.
•
Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each powered
device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated PoE port LED on the switch
lights solid green. If the associated PoE port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault
occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions listed in the following
table.
User Manual76Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches
Table 8. PoE fault conditions and possible solutions
Possible SolutionPoE Fault Condition
The problem is most likely with the
attached PD. Check the condition
of the PD or restart the PD by
disconnecting and reconnecting
the PD.
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port.
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the
switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection or
30W for a PoE+ connection.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD.
Restart the switch to see if the
condition resolves itself.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits.
