Use other options to discover the switch IP address
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.
If the switch is on-network, you can use one of the following options to determine the switch
IP address:
• Access the DHCP server. You can access the DHCP server (or router that functions as
a DHCP server) in your network and view the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
For more information, see the documentation for your DHCP server (or router).
• IP scanner utility. IP scanner utilities are available free of charge on the Internet. An IP
scanner utility lets you discover the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
Access the switch on-network when you know the switch IP address
If the switch is on-network and you know the switch IP address, you can access the local
browser UI.
For the following procedure, the network must provide Internet access.
To access the switch on-network when you know the switch IP address:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The page that displays depends on whether you logged in before.
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.
3. 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
