Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Smart Cloud Switch with NETGEAR FlexPoE Power

Getting Started User Manual26

If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network

with the DHCP server, the IP address reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.0.239

with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Note: If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a static IP

address to the switch, change the IP settings of your computer to be in

the same subnet as the static IP address.

For more information about changing the IP settings on your computer, see one of the

following knowledge base articles at the NETGEAR website:

• Windows-based computer. See the following article:

https://kb.netgear.com/27476/How-to-set-a-static-IP-address-in-Windows

• Mac. See the following article:

dapter-in-Mac-OS-for-direct-access-to-an-access-point

(The Mac article is written for an access point but is also valid for a switch.)

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 Ethernet port on the switch.

3. Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239.

This is the default IP address of the switch.

The Local Device Login page displays.

Note: NETGEAR provides enhanced security by enforcing secure access

and communication between your web browser and the switch. Your

browser might display a security message that your connection is not

private or not secure, or that a problem with the security certificate

occurred. If such as security message displays, you cannot proceed

but must take action. See the next step.

4. If your browser displays a security message and does not let you proceed, do one of the

following, depending on the browser that you are using:

• Google Chrome. If Google Chrome displays a Your connection is not private

message, click the ADVANCED link. Then, click the Proceed to x.x.x.x (unsafe) link,

in which x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the switch.

• Apple Safari. If Apple Safari displays a This connection is not private message, click

the Show Details button. Then, click the visit this website link. If a warning pop-up

window opens, click the Visit Website button. If another pop-up window opens to let

you confirm changes to your certificate trust settings, enter your Mac user name and

password and click the Update Setting button.

• Mozilla Firefox. If Mozilla Firefox displays a Your connection is not secure message,

click the ADVANCED button. Then, click the Add Exception button. In the pop-up

window that opens, click the Confirm Security Exception button.
