3. Connect devices to the switch.
We recommend using the following cables and SFP modules:
• Use a Category 5e (Cat 5e), Category 6 (Cat 6), or Category 6a (Cat 6a)
cable a for copper port at 1/2.5/5 Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AGM731F or AGM732F for a ber port at 1 Gbps.
• Use a NETGEAR AXM761, AXM762, or AXM764 for a ber port at 10 Gpbs.
• Use a NETGEAR AXC761 (1 m) or AXC763 (3 m) cable for a ber port.
Note: If purchased, SFP modules and cables are shipped separately. For more
information about installing an SFP module, see the hardware installation guide.
2. Congure the IP address of the switch
You can access the switch through the out-of-band (OOB) port (which is also
referred to as the service port) through a console port, or through any Ethernet
network port. By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client.
To congure the IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
• Local browser–based management interface. Use the local browser interface
through the OOB port or any Ethernet network port (see Use the local browser
interface to congure the IP address).
• CLI. Use the command-line interface (CLI) through the mini USB console port
or RJ-45 RS232 console port. You can congure the IP address manually or use
the ezcong utility (see Use the CLI to congure the IP address).
• DHCP server. Connect a DHCP server through the OOB port or through
any Ethernet network port and nd the assigned IP address (see Find the IP
address assigned by the DHCP server).
After you congure or nd the IP address of the switch, you can congure the
features of the switch through either the local browser interface or the CLI.
Use the local browser interface to congure the IP address
You can use a computer on the same subnet as the switch to access the local
browser interface over the switch’s default IP address and assign a different static
IP address to the switch.
