Bring Back Smart Control Center Compatability

[IT_Guy]

Please add compatability for all Business switches to be managed by the Smart Control Center. Managing all devices through one pane (or even just centrally list and enable one click access) is what drove me to select your Business line of Switches as our new standard switch of choice. Almost every other line of software, hardware, and security provider is going (or has gone) to single pane management. Please don't make the mistake of completely abandoning one of the best ideas you've had in the last decade. 

Sincerely,

A Dedicated I.T Guy

@IT_Guy,

The Smart Control Center can still be used to discover the Smart Managed Pro Switch Models.  Like for example, the GS752TPv2 switch. From the GS752TPv2 firmware v6.0.3.3 and above, the default setting for Smart Control Center (SCC) management has been changed from enabled to disabled.  As reference, kindly check the release notes of the GS752TPv2 firmware v6.0.3.3 here.  

There is a way to enable SCC (Smart Control Center) Admin Mode on the GS752TPv2. In the web-GUI, go to Security > Management Security > SCC Control and the customer can chose to enable Smart Control Center Admin Mode. As reference, kindly read pages 366-367 of the GS752TPv2 user manual here.  You may want to check your Smart Managed Pro Switches as well. 

Regards,

DaneA
