Discover the switch in a network with a DHCP server
using the Smart Control Center
This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that includes a DHCP server.
The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect the switch to your
network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the switch. Use the Smart
Control Center (SCC) to discover the IP address automatically assigned to the switch.
For information about the SCC, visit
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/SCC.
Note: By default, you can use the SCC to discover the IP address of the
switch, but you cannot use the SCC to perform any actions on the
switch. However, if you enable the configuration option of the SCC,
you can use it to configure the switch (see
Manage the Smart Control
Center on page 259).
To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server:
1. Connect the
switch to a network with a DHCP server.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the SCC on your computer.
4. Start the SCC.
5. Click the Discover
button for the SCC to discover all the devices in the subnet.
