CORE SWITCH (OR SINGLE SWITCH) CONFIGURATION

Log in to the Netgear M4250 AV web interface. The Netgear M4250 switches are set to DHCP by default; to find an IP address, you need to scan the network or check the DHCP server; if no DHCP server is available, the switch will default to 169.254.100.100.

  2. Create a new secure password and username.
  3. Set the switch to a static IP or DHCP reserved from the DHCP server. This needs to be done in the Main UI under System Information.
    • To save the settings, click the Apply button in the upper right corner of the screen. The switch will now apply the new IP settings and be on the a static or reserved address.
    • Now, log out of the Main UI.
  4. Using the login and password you have created, navigate to the switch’s new IP address and log into the AV UI.
  5. Select the “Network Profiles” from the main menu.
  6. Under “Configured Profiles” click the 3 dots on the right-hand side, and select ‘Edit’.
