Hello Michael,

A little bit lost on the "I did that".

On “Security > Management Security > SCC Control”, the default is to disable the access (but not the discovery) Smart Control Center (SCC). Technically it's about a legacy L2 protocol named Netgear Switch Discovery Protocol (NSDP), inheriting several risks - that's why it's disabled automatically with the latest firmware updates. Only the discovery feature is retained. This is what the noe you quoted above want to tell us users.

What is the switch IP address shown (on SCC, on the Netgear Switch Discovery Tool ) ? Does this address still fit to your primary LAN IP subnet, for example 192.168.1.x, or is it back on the default 192.168.0.239, eg. because of the switch isn't configured as a DHCP client, or the switch was not connected to the LAN.

Practically, the SCC utility is EoL, no longer supported (except for special purposes), last but not least it became difficult to install, operate, for various reasons - and the tftp required for the firmware update for the utility is often not workable anymore.
