GS728TP - Discovering the switch on the network
Hi, Looks like the SmartControlCenter utility does not discover my GS728TP switch. Here's what I did. Powered on the switch, no network cables connected. Pressed the Factory Defaults bu...

Really talking of a GS728TP(v1?), an almost once decade old switch and a new scratch installation? Ok...
One thing that comes into my mind is be some firewall or other overly "smart" Internet "security" software killing the discovery.
Open a Web browser and try to access http://192.168.0.239/Alternatively, consider trying the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT)

I am investigating how to configure some supplicant device to access a network via IEEE 802.1x. In order to test the proper operation, I need to set up an authenticator/authentication server. So, I asked IT if they had any spare/leftover switch that supports IEEE 802.1x, and the GS728TP is what has been bestowed upon me. :smileyhappy:
I tried accessing the device via the webservice on the switch, as you suggested, and that seems to work.
Thanks.
