Caution:Existing configurations will be erased after updating the firmware from v1.1.1.x to v2.0.0.x. Furthermore, configuration files are not compatible between v1.x.x.x and v2.x.x.x firmware. Switches with Essential L2 Features for SMB NetworksNETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switches offer powerful L2 and L2+/Layer 3 Lite features, great PoE functionality, and enhanced performance and usability. They are purposely designed for converged networks where voice, video, data are all carried on a single network platform. These switches are optimized for network efficiency, operational cost savings, and ease of management. These switches are the ideal solution even for the most advanced small and medium organizations looking for the best combination of features, performance, and value.

Read and follow these instructions before you update to firmware version 2.0.7.4 from an earlier version: In firmware version 2.0.7.4 or later versions, the default setting for the Smart Control Center (SCC) management option changes from enabled to disabled. However, the SCC utility can still discover the switch. We recommend against downgrading the firmware image to 2.0.6.X or earlier version after updating to 2.0.7.4 or later versions.PoE+ support on all PoE models with the GS510TLP, GS510TPP, GS418TPP and GS728TPP providing PoE+ support on all ports The GS724TPv2 24-Port Gigabit Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports joins the NETGEAR Standalone Smart Managed Pro Switches family, adding full 24 port PoE+ support for deployment of modern high-power PoE devices. Cautious spender organisations can now deploy denser PoE+ devices connected to a cost-effective switch, with a reasonable PoE power budget of 190W. Auto-Video VLAN, following the same concept of Auto Voice, help speed up your deployment of IP-based surveillance systems Smart Control Center, a powerful tool for multi-switch discovery, deployment, monitoring and firmware upgrades In firmware version 2.0.7.4 or later versions, the authentication protocol for SNMPv3 automatically changes to “MD5” if the setting in the old firmware version is “None.”

If you are updating GS724TPv2 FW from v1.1.1.x to v2.0.6.x, make sure to follow these instructions carefully. The presence of SFP ports provide necessary fiber uplinks, while dedicated SFP ports on many models further builds uplink redundancyThe SNMPv1/v2 default community strings “Private” and “Public” are not available in firmware version 2.0.7.4 or later versions. Before you update the firmware, set different community strings. After you update the firmware to version 2.0.7.4 or a later version, we recommend that you do not downgrade the firmware to version 2.0.6.x or an earlier version. Fixes the issue when an OUI is added, the last two hexadecimal are changed to E0 instead of the entered value.

The default setting for the Smart Control Center (SCC) Management option changes from enabled to disabled. Note: The SCC Utility can still discover the switch. The GS724TPv2 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch provides a great value, with configurable L2 network features like VLANs and PoE operation scheduling, allowing SMB customers to deploy PoE-based VoIP phones and IP surveillance. Advanced features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), L2/L3/L4 QoS (DiffServ), LACP link aggregation and Spanning Tree will satisfy even the most advanced small business networks. Comprehensive IPv6 management, QoS and ACL, ensuring investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based networking Important: After you update the firmware from version 1.1.1.x to version 2.0.0.x, the existing switch configuration is erased.Configuration files are not compatible between firmware version 1.x.x.x and version 2.x.x.x.Caution: Existing configurations will be erased after updating the firmware from v1.1.1.x to v2.0.0.x. Furthermore, configuration files are not compatible between v1.x.x.x and v2.x.x.x firmware. Default community strings “Private” and “Public” for SNMPv1/v2 are not available in newer firmware. Set a different community string before updating the firmware. The released zip file contains the switch firmware and MIB files. Unzip the file to extract the switch image for firmware updating.
