Ubiquiti Enterprise Network Switches

A

Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches are high-performance, fully managed switches designed for scalable campus and data-center networks, offering advanced L2/L3 features, PoE, and seamless UniFi Controller integration.

A

In the UniFi Network Controller, navigate to Settings > Networks to create VLAN profiles, then assign VLAN IDs to specific switch ports under Devices > Switch > Ports, ensuring isolated traffic segmentation.

A

Yes, selected Ubiquiti Enterprise Switch models provide PoE+ (802.3at) or PoE++ (802.3bt) with per-port power budgeting, enabling direct power delivery to IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

A

Use the built-in Virtual Chassis feature: connect dedicated stacking ports between switches, enable stacking in the UniFi Controller under Devices > Switch > Configuration, and allow automatic master-slave election for unified management.

A

Throughput varies by model—ranging from 1.2 Tbps for 48-port switches to over 4 Tbps for high-density chassis—providing full wire-speed forwarding with non-blocking backplane performance.

A

In the UniFi Controller, go to Devices, select your switch, click on the Update button, and apply the latest stable firmware; the device will reboot automatically to complete the upgrade.

A

Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches are optimized for UniFi Network Controller but also support standard SNMP v2/v3, CLI via SSH, and RADIUS authentication for integration with enterprise-grade management platforms.

A

Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches implement secure management protocols (SSH, HTTPS), port-based 802.1X authentication, ACLs, and VLAN isolation to protect against unauthorized access and lateral network threats.

A

All Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches include a limited lifetime hardware warranty and access to online ticket-based support, firmware updates, and comprehensive documentation on the Ubiquiti website.

A

Use the UniFi Controller’s real-time dashboards to view port statistics, PoE usage, switch health, and historical traffic graphs, or integrate with SNMP-based monitoring tools for custom alerting and reporting.

A

Yes, Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches support a wide range of 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP/SFP+ optical modules (compatible with industry-standard transceivers) for fiber uplinks and long-reach connections.

A

Most Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches offer dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies with AC or optional DC input, ensuring uninterrupted operation in mission-critical environments.

A

Verify physical cabling and SFP module compatibility, check link status in the UniFi Controller under Devices > Switch > Ports, and review event logs for LLDP/CDP mismatches or speed/duplex errors.

A

Enterprise Switches use variable-speed high-efficiency fans with front-to-back airflow, producing 45–55 dBA under full load in rack-mount installations, meeting standard data-center acoustics.

A

Enable Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) in switch settings, schedule PoE port activation only when needed, and monitor per-port power usage in the UniFi Controller to reduce overall energy draw.

A

Ubiquiti Enterprise Switches support 1U rack-mount installation with included mounting ears, as well as optional wall-mount brackets for flexible deployment in wiring closets or small offices.

A

Press and hold the recessed reset button on the switch for 10 seconds until LEDs flash; the device will erase its configuration, reboot, and return to default UniFi adoption mode.
