M4250-40G8XF Switch Management

I've been looking at adding my M4250 to our Insight account, along with our access points.  Instructions state that I need to goto Management, Sys Info, and enable Insight management.  But that feature is not present.  My firmware is current (13.0.5.16). I'm wondering if my hardware version is not supported?  Anybody run into this?

  • The M4250-40G8XF is a Managed Switch in Netgear terms and does j support Netgear Insight management.

     

    Correction: Yes, here is an option to manage (a little bit to much in this word) standalone (unstacked, not Engage managed) M4250 and M4350 series switches can be discovered, registered, and managed from Insight:

  • Thank you.  What I was thinking, but couldn't quite land on a definitive answer.  Seem to recall last year reading that Netgear had enabled M4250 switch management thru Insight.......should have read further.  Thanks for taking the time.
