Switch discovery tool able to locate switches but I cannot login to console
I have 2 GS108PEv3 and 1 GS116Ev2 in my network and they are connected to a VPN routers. All devices are connected to the switches. I am using Netgear Switch Discovery Tool and finds all 3 devices and shows ADMIN page in purple. I click on ADMIN page and it attempts to connect to the correct IP assigned to switch but is not able to connect. I also tried doing it manually and got the same result. I have set those IP addresses on Chrome to accept unsecure content. What could be wrong?

Nothing wrong in general. Ensure your routers are enabled to issue IP address configurations to connected devices DHCP clients (like the Plus routers), and wait about a minute until the router is fully booted and operational. Cold start (disconnect and reconnect the power supply) the Plus switches while connected to the router LAN port. Wonders of technology, now the discovery tool will find them on a LAN IP address matching to your local network. Which IP addresses are discovered now? And in case, what magic VPN routers are you talking of here?
