About This Manual
®
The NETGEAR GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual describes how to
install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot the GS700TS Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch using
its included software. This book describes the software configuration procedures and explains the
options available within those procedures.
Who Should Use this Book
The information in this manual is intended for readers with intermediate to advanced system
management skills.
This document was created primarily for the system administrator who wishes to install and
configure the GS700TS Smart Switch in a network. This user guide assumes that the reader has a
general understanding of switch platforms and a basic knowledge of Ethernet and networking
concepts. To install this switch, it is not necessary to understand and use all of its capabilities.
Once basic configuration is performed, the switch operates using the remaining factory default
parameters. However, a greater level of configuration—anywhere from the basic up to the
maximum possible—will allow your network the full benefit of the switch’s features. The web
interface simplifies this configuration at all levels.
