1. Getting Started

This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR ProSafe® Managed Switches and

accessing the user interface. This chapter contains the following sections:

• Switch Management Interface on page 9

• Web Access on page 9

• Understanding the User Interfaces on page 10

• Interface Naming Convention on page 18

Switch Management Interface

The NETGEAR ProSafe® Managed Switches contain an embedded Web server and

management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. ProSafe® Managed

Switches 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.

Web Access

To access the ProSafe® Managed Switches management interface:

• Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.

You must be able to ping the IP address of the ProSafe® Managed Switches management

interface from your administrative system for Web access to be available. If you did not

change the IP address of the switch from the default value, enter 169.254.100.100 into the

address field.

Accessing the switch directly from your Web browser displays the login screen shown below.

ProSafe® Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switches Software Administration Manual

Understanding the User Interfaces

ProSafe® Managed Switches software includes a set of comprehensive management

functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

• Web user interface

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the

components of the ProSafe® Managed Switches software. The method you use to manage

the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.

The ProSafe® Managed Switch Web Management User Manual describes how to use the

Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.

Using the Web Interface

To access the switch by using a Web browser, the browser must meet the following software

requirements:

• HTML version 4.0, or later

• HTTP version 1.1, or later

• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later

Use the following procedures to log on to the Web interface:

1. Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the Web browser

address field.

2. The default username is admin, default password is none (no password). Type the

username into the field on the login screen and then click Login. Usernames and

passwords are case sensitive.

3. After the system authenticates you, the System Information page displays.

Navigation Tabs, Feature Links, and Page Menu

The navigation tabs along the top of the Web interface give you quick access to the various

switch functions. The tabs are always available and remain constant, regardless of which

feature you configure.

When you select a tab, the features for that tab appear as links directly under the tabs. The

feature links in the blue bar change according to the navigation tab that is selected.

The configuration pages for each feature are available as links in the page menu on the left

side of the page. Some items in the menu expand to reveal multiple configuration pages, as

the following figure shows. When you click a menu item that includes multiple configuration

pages, the item becomes preceded by a down arrow symbol and expands to display the

additional pages.

Configuration and Monitoring Options

The area directly under the feature links and to the right of the page menu displays the

configuration information or status for the page you select. On pages that contain

configuration options, you can input information into fields or select options from drop-down

menus.

Each page contains access to the HTML-based help that explains the fields and

configuration options for the page. Each page also contains command buttons.

Table 1 shows the command buttons that are used throughout the pages in the Web

interface:

Button Function

Add Clicking Add adds the new item configured in the heading row of a table.

Apply Clicking the Apply button sends the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration

changes take effect immediately.

Cancel Clicking Cancel cancels the configuration on the screen and resets the data on the screen

to the latest value of the switch.

Delete Clicking Delete removes the selected item.

Refresh Clicking the Refresh button refreshes the page with the latest information from the device.

Logout Clicking the Logout button ends the session.

Device View

The Device View is a Java® applet that displays the ports on the switch. This graphic provides

an alternate way to navigate to configuration and monitoring options. The graphic also

provides information about device ports, current configuration and status, table information,

and feature components.

The Device View is available from the System Device View page.

The port coloring indicates whether a port is currently active. Green indicates that the port is

enabled, red indicates that an error has occurred on the port, or red indicates that the link is

disabled.

The Device View of the switch is shown below.

Click the port you want to view or configure to see a menu that displays statistics and

configuration options. Click the menu option to access the page that contains the

configuration or monitoring options.

If you click the graphic, but do not click a specific port, the main menu appears. This menu

contains the same option as the navigation tabs at the top of the page.

Help Page Access

Every page contains a link to the online help , which contains information to assist in

configuring and managing the switch. The online help pages are context sensitive. For

example, if the IP Addressing page is open, the help topic for that page displays if you click

Using SNMP

The ProSafe® Managed Switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and

users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.

ProSafe® Managed Switches use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and

private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-”

prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private

MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.

SNMP is enabled by default. The System  Management  System Information Web page,

which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to

configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.

Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and

encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one

profile that can be created or modified.

To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using

the Web interface:

1. Navigate to the System  SNMP  SNMPv3  User Configuration page.

2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or

SHA.

3. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter

an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.

4. Click Apply.

To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System  SNMP 

SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.

Interface Naming Convention

The ProSafe® Managed Switches support physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are

identified by their type and the interface number. The physical ports are gigabit interfaces and

are numbered on the front panel. You configure the logical interfaces by using the software.

Table 3 describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.
