Can I turn a managed Netgear switch in to a unmanaged switch?

[N0v1c3Us3r]

Hi,

I was looking for a 24-port switch and have been offered a new in box Netgear GSM7324 Managed Switch but I don't need a managed switch. I know this is the opposite of what everyone wants but, can I turn the GSM7324 in to a unmanaged/dumb switch? If yes, what will I need to do?

Thank you,

Hi, 

Out of the box, a managed switch will act like an unmanaged switch essentially (there is no config on it yet). You don't need to "turn anything off". Just plug and play.

I will pick this unit up.
