Manage switch discovery protocols
It is important to know the IP address of the switch so that you can access the local
browser interface of the switch. The switch supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP),
Bonjour, and NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol (NSDP), which are protocols that can
discover the switch. A device that functions in the same network as the switch and that
supports one of these protocols can discover the switch and obtain the IP address.
As a security measure, you can disable one or more discovery protocols. However, we
recommend that you leave at least one discovery protocol enabled so that a device can
discover the switch if the switch IP address changes.
Manage Universal Plug and Play
A Windows-based device that supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) can discover the
switch in the network so that you can find the switch IP address and log in to the local
browser interface of the switch. UPnP is enabled by default. You can disable UPnP for
security reasons.
To manage UPnP:
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.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Discovery and Management.
The Discovery and Management page displays.
6.
In the UPnP section, select one of the following radio buttons:
•
Disable. UPnP is disabled.
•
Enable. UPnP is enabled. This is the default setting.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
