GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch
Step 7: Manage the Switch using a Web Browser or the
Smart Control Center
The GS748T contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This
management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used without
using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of
VLAN and trunking features, IPv6 management support to enable IPv6 operation over the
network port, IPv6 QoS (ACL), static routing, EEE support, and also improves the efficiency
of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the
performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a
Web browser or a program called Smart Control Center. For more information about
managing the switch, see the
GS748T Software Administration Manual
on the Smart Switch
Resource CD.
Note: The switch is configured with a default IP address of 192.168.0.239
and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
