Switch Discovery In A Network With A Dhcp Server - NETGEAR GS108T-200NAS Software Administration Manual

Switch Discovery in a Network with a DHCP Server

This section describes how to set up your switch in a network that has a DHCP server. The DHCP
client on the switch is enabled by default. When you connect it to your network, the DHCP server
will automatically assign an IP address to your switch. Use the Smart Control Center to discover
the IP address automatically assigned to the switch.
To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server, use the following steps:
1. Connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its AC-DC power adapter. For the GS108T, you can also
power on the switch by connecting Port 1 to a PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
3. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer.
4. Start the Smart Control Center.
5. Click Discover for the Smart Control Center to find your switch. You should see a screen
similar to the one shown in
