Access the switch and discover the IP
address of the switch
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network.
For information about setting up a fixed (static) IP address on the switch, see Set up a
fixed IP address for the switch on page 15.
Access the switch from a Mac or Windows-based computer
using the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) 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 NSDT, discover the switch in your network, access the switch, and
discover the switch IP address:
1. Download the NSDT by visiting
netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.
Download either the Mac or Windows version.
2.
Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these
on the computer that you will use to configure the switch.
3.
Unzip the NSDT files, double-click the .exe or .dmg file (for example,
NETGEAR+Switch+Discovery+Tool+Setup+1.2.102.exe or
NetgearSDT-V1.2.102.dmg), and install the program on your computer.
Depending on your computer setup, the installation process might add the NETGEAR
Switch Discovery Tool icon to the dock of your Mac or the desktop of your
Windows-based computer.
4. Reenable the security services on your computer.
5. Power on the switch.
The DHCP server assigns the switch an IP address.
6. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection. The computer and the switch must be on
the same Layer 2 network.
7. Open the NSDT.
