Access the switch off-network and not

connected to the Internet

The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. The IP address of the computer that

you use to access the switch off-network must be in the same subnet as the default IP

address of the switch.

Note: If you prefer to use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to configure the

switch, you must access the switch off-network as described in the

following procedure and then enable the configuration option of the

SCC (see Manage the Smart Control Center on page 354).

To access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet:

1. Change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of

the switch.

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 of 255.255.255.0. 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:

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

3. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.

4. Launch a web browser

5. Open a web browser

, and enter http://192.168.0.239.

assigned a static IP address to the switch, enter the static IP address of the switch.
