EdgeSwitch EdgeSwitch
Ubiquiti Networks® EdgeSwitch®
Fiber, part of the EdgeMAX® line of
products. The EdgeSwitch Fiber is a
fully managed, Gigabit fiber switch,
delivering robust performance
and intelligent switching for EdgeSwitch Fiber
high‑bandwidth networks.

The EdgeSwitch Fiber offers an

extensive suite of advanced Layer-2
switching features and protocols,
EdgeRouter Pro EdgeSwitch
and also provides Layer-3 routing
capability.

Switching Performance
The EdgeSwitch Fiber offers the Internet
forwarding capacity to simultaneously
process traffic on all ports at line rate Multiple EdgeSwitches connect to the EdgeSwitch Fiber, which has an SFP uplink to
without any packet loss. the Ubiquiti® EdgeRouter™ Pro.
For its total, non-blocking throughput,
the EdgeSwitch Fiber supports up to
16 Gbps. EdgeRouter X SFP EdgeRouter X SFP

Distribution Layer
The EdgeSwitch Fiber offers high
performance and low latency as an
aggregation switch.
EdgeSwitch Fiber
For fiber connectivity, it features
EdgeRouter X SFP EdgeRouter X SFP
12 SFP ports, eight of which also
support 100 Mbps. For copper
connectivity, the EdgeSwitch Fiber
offers four Gigabit RJ45 ports. The EdgeSwitch Fiber connects multiple Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X SFP devices.

Easy Management Ubiquiti Network Management System

The browser-based configuration
interface offers intuitive control using
a redesigned UI. Management is
also available through the Ubiquiti®
Network Management System
(UNMS™), which is a comprehensive
management controller featuring an
easy-to-use UI. You can use a single
control plane to manage registered
EdgeMAX® devices across multiple
networks and sites.

Use UNMS to register and manage multiple EdgeMAX devices.

Comprehensive User
Interface
Designed for convenient
management, the EdgeSwitch
Configuration Interface allows
administrators to configure and
monitor switch features in a graphical

Datasheet
user interface.

For advanced users, an

industry‑standard command-line
interface (CLI) is available through the
serial console port, telnet, and SSH.

Powerful Functionality
The EdgeSwitch Fiber uses a
sophisticated operating system that
provides basic switching features
and a variety of advanced features
including:
• MSTP/RSTP/STP
• VLAN, Private VLAN, Voice VLAN
• Link Aggregation
• DHCP Snooping, IGMP Snooping
• TACACS+, RADIUS, 802.1X, MAC
