Chapter 1: Overview

Introduction

This User Guide is designed to provide details about
how to set up and use the EdgeSwitch® Configuration
Interface, version 1.8 or above. This interface manages the
EdgeSwitch and EdgeSwitch X models, which this User
Guide will collectively refer to as EdgeSwitch.

The EdgeSwitch XP models use a different user interface.
This is described in the EdgeSwitch XP User Guide, which
is available at: downloads.ubnt.com/edgemax

Configuration

This intuitive interface allows you to conveniently manage
your EdgeSwitch using your web browser. There are two
versions available; however, this User Guide describes
the default, which is the new UI with a more graphical
interface. The legacy UI is still available as an option and is
described in the EdgeSwitch Administration Guide, which
is available at: downloads.ubnt.com/edgemax

You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti®
Network Management System, UNMS™, which lets you
configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices

using a singlesoftware application. To get started, go to:

unms.com

Chapter 2: Navigation

Chapter 2: Navigation

The EdgeSwitch uses an advanced operating system
accessed through a simple and intuitive user interface
for convenient configuration and management via a web
browser. This interface is referred to as the Configuration
Interface or UI (User Interface).

There are two versions of the Configuration Interface.
The new one is described in this User Guide. The previous
one is described in the EdgeSwitch Administration Guide,
which is available at: downloads.ubnt.com/edgemax

The new Configuration Interface is designed for basic
configuration of the EdgeSwitch. If you want to configure
advanced settings via the old Configuration Interface or
CLI, then please be aware that these advanced settings
may interfere with the proper function of the new
Configuration Interface, and vice versa.

Note: Do NOT make configuration changes using

both the new interface and old interface/CLI – this is
NOT supported.

Accessing the Configuration Interface

The EdgeSwitch is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to
automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, then it will
use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.2. Proceed to
the appropriate section, DHCP or “Fallback IP Address”

on page 4:

DHCP

Use one of the following methods:

• Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to
the EdgeSwitch based on its MAC address (on the label).

• Let the EdgeSwitch obtain an IP address and then check
the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.

To log in, follow these steps:

1. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP

address in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return
(Mac).

2. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click

SignIn. (When you sign in, you agree to accept the

Ubiquiti License Agreement.)

Note: To use the previous Configuration

Interface, click Go to the legacy interface.

Fallback IP Address

1. Ensure that your computer (or other host system) is
connected to the EdgeSwitch.

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system
with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

3. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP
address in the address field (192.168.1.2 is the default
fallback IP address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

https://192.168.1.2

4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click

SignIn. (When you sign in, you agree to accept the

6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click
Apply.

Note: If you change the IP settings, then the

session will be cut off, and you will need to
reconnect to the EdgeSwitch using the new IP
address.

Customize additional settings as needed.
