Management Network Settings
The Management Network Settings configure the IP
settings and management access of the TOUGHSwitch.
Because the TOUGHSwitch is a Layer 2 device, the IP Address and Netmask are not mandatory; however, if you
want to manage the TOUGHSwitch, then you will need to
configure the IP Address and Netmask unless you select
DHCP.
Management IP Address The TOUGHSwitch can use a
static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP
server.
• Static Assign static IP settings to the TOUGHSwitch.
- Gateway IP Typically, this is the IP address of the host
router, which provides the point of connection to the
Internet. This can be a DSL modem, cable modem,
or WISP gateway router. The TOUGHSwitch directs
packets to the gateway if the destination host is not
within the local network. The default is 192.168.1.1.
- Primary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the primary
DNS (Domain Name System) server.
- Secondary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the
secondary DNS server. This entry is optional and used
only if the primary DNS server is not responding.
• DHCP The local DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP
address, netmask, gateway IP address, and DNS address
to the TOUGHSwitch.
Note: We do not recommend the DHCP option.
The IP address may change, and you will need
to use the Discovery tool from another Ubiquiti
device or computer to discover the IP address
of the TOUGHSwitch. You can also reset the
TOUGHSwitch to its factory default settings.
(Press and hold the Reset button for more than
10 seconds.) Its default IP Address is reset to
192.168.1.20.
Note: IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the TOUGHSwitch’s network
segment.
- IP Address Specify the IP address of the
TOUGHSwitch. This IP will be used for device
management purposes. The default is 192.168.1.20.
- Netmask When the netmask is expanded into its
binary form, it provides a mapping to define which
portions of the IP address range are used for the
network devices and which portions are used for host
devices. The netmask defines the address space of
the TOUGHSwitch’s network segment. The default
255.255.255.0 (or “/24”) netmask is commonly used on
many Class C IP networks.
- Management Port Only By default, this option is
disabled and you can manage the TOUGHSwitch
through any port. To restrict management access to
only the Management port, check this box.
Note: The Management Port Only option must be
disabled if you want traffic to flow between the
Management port and numbered ports. Traffic
will be limited to 10/100 Mbps and, under heavy
load, may cause performance degradation of the
TOUGHSwitch.
- DHCP Fallback IP Specify the IP address the
TOUGHSwitch should use if a DHCP server is not
found. The default is 192.168.1.20.
- DHCP Fallback Netmask Specify the netmask the
TOUGHSwitch should use if a DHCP server is not
found. The default is 255.255.255.0.
- Management Port Only By default, this option is

• Server Port Specify the TCP/IP port of the Telnet server.
The default is 23.
Services
The Services section configures system management
services: SNMP Agent, System Log, Dynamic DNS, and NTP Client.
SNMP Agent
Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is an
application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange
of management information between network
devices. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor
network-attached devices for issues that warrant
attention.
The device contains an SNMP agent, which does the
following:
• Provides an interface for device monitoring using SNMP
• Communicates with SNMP management applications
for network provisioning
• Allows network administrators to monitor network
performance and troubleshoot network problems
Dynamic DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names
to IP addresses; Each DNS server on the Internet holds
these mappings in its respective DNS database. Dynamic
Domain Name System (DDNS) is a network service that
notifies the DNS server in real time of any changes in the
device’s IP settings. Even if the device’s IP address changes,
you can still access the device through its domain name.
Dynamic DNS If enabled, the device allows
communications with the DDNS server.
• Host Name Enter the host name of the DDNS server.
• Username Enter the username of the DDNS account.
• Password Enter the password of the DDNS account.
• Show Check the box to display the password
characters.
System Log
If you enable the System Log, the messages display on the
Alerts tab; see “System Log” on page 29.
For the purpose of equipment identification, configure the
SNMP agent with contact and location information:
SNMP Agent Enables the SNMP agent.
• SNMP Community Specify the SNMP community
string. It is required to authenticate access to
Management Information Base (MIB) objects and
functions as an embedded password. The device
supports a read-only community string; authorized
management stations have read access to all the objects
in the MIB except the community strings, but do not
have write access. The device supports SNMP v1. The
default SNMP Community is public.
• Contact Specify the contact who should be notified in
case of emergency.
• Location Specify the physical location of the device.
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
System Log This option enables the registration routine
of system log (syslog) messages. By default it is disabled.
• Remote Log Enables the syslog remote sending
function. System log messages are sent to a remote
server, which is specified in the following fields:
- Remote Log IP Address The host IP address that
receives syslog messages. Properly configure the
remote host to receive syslog protocol messages.
- Remote Log Port The TCP/IP port that receives syslog
messages. 514 is the default port for the commonly
used system message logging utilities.
Every logged message contains at least a system time and
host name. Usually a specific service name that generates
the system event is also specified within the message.
Messages from different services have different contexts
and different levels of detail. Usually error, warning, or
informational system service messages are reported;
however, more detailed debug level messages can also
be reported. The more detailed the system messages
reported, the greater the volume of log messages
generated.
20

Chapter 5: Device Tab TOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide
NTP Client
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for
synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over
packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. You can
use it to set the system time on the device. If the SystemLog option is enabled, then the system time is reported
next to every log entry that registers a system event.
NTP Client If enabled, the device obtains the system time
from a time server on the Internet.
• NTP Server Specify the IP address or domain name of
the NTP server. The default is 0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org.
Spanning Tree Protocol
For optimal performance, there should be a single
active path between two networking devices in an
Ethernet network. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides
redundant paths and prevents network loops that can
create excessive traffic and slow down performance. STP
calculates the best path for network traffic; if the best path
fails, STP recalculates and finds the next best path.
Jumbo Frames
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum
packet size (in bytes) that a network interface can transmit.
A jumbo frame is a frame that is larger than the standard
Ethernet frame with an MTU of 1500. Jumbo frames are
typically used for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Jumbo Frames By default, this option is disabled; the
TOUGHSwitch does not handle jumbo frames and drops
them. If you enable this option, the TOUGHSwitch handles
jumbo frames and forwards them. The maximum MTU of
the TOUGHSwitch PoE is 9216, and the maximum MTU of
the TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO is 9720.
Device Discovery
Discovery This option is enabled by default, so the device
can be discovered by other Ubiquiti devices through the
Device Discovery tool. See “Discovery” on page 31 for
more information.
Status Enabled by default, STP provides redundancy
without network loops.
Version Select the version of STP to use. STP and Rapid
STP (RSTP) display the following states: Blocking, Learning,
and Forwarding. RSTP is recommended because ports
can more quickly progress to the forwarding state. When
STP is selected, the TOUGHSwitch sends STP packets. The
default is RSTP.
Max Age Specify how long the TOUGHSwitch saves
a configuration message received on a port. If the
TOUGHSwitch does not hear any new configuration
messages after the Max Age time interval, then the
TOUGHSwitch adapts and starts to reconfigure. The
default is 20 seconds.
Hello Time Specify the time interval between
configuration messages transmitted by the TOUGHSwitch
to other switches. The default is 2 seconds.
Forward Delay Specify how long the listening and
learning states last before the TOUGHSwitch forwards
traffic. The default is 15 seconds.
Priority STP uses priority values to select a switch as the
root switch of the spanning tree. Specify the Priority value
of the TOUGHSwitch. The default is 32768.
System Accounts
You can change the administrator password to protect
your device from unauthorized changes. We recommend
that you change the default administrator password
during the very first system setup:
Administrator Username Specify the name of the
administrator.
Key button Click this button to change the password.
• Current Password Enter the current password for
the administrator account. It is required to change the
Password or Administrator Username.
• New Password Enter the new password for the

Chapter 6: Ports Tab TOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide
Basic Settings for Port
Name Enter a name for the port.
Port Status To use this port, check the box.
Note: If you disable a port, its PoE functionality
remains.
PoE PoE is disabled by default on all ports. To output PoE
to the connected device, select 24V or 48V (48V available
only on the TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO). To disable PoE, select
Off.
Note: Before enabling PoE, check the specifications
of your airMAX, UniFi, legacy, or third-party devices
to ensure they support passive PoE and require the
available amount of voltage. The TOUGHSwitch PoE
offers 24V passive PoE, and the TOUGHSwitch PoE
PRO offers 24V or 48V passive PoE.
Autonegotiation By default, Autonegotiation is
enabled. The TOUGHSwitch automatically negotiates
transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex, with
its counterpart. In this process, the networked devices
first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest
transmission mode they both support.
Note:Autonegotiation applies only to speed and
duplex, not POE.
Link Speed, Mbps This is the speed of the port. To
manually specify the maximum transmission link
speed, select 100 or 10. To achieve full performance
with extra-long Ethernet cables, ensure that you use
CAT6-qualified cables and interconnects.
Full Duplex By default, Full Duplex is enabled. Full-duplex
mode allows communication in both directions
simultaneously. Half-duplex mode allows communication
in one direction at a time, alternating between
transmission and reception.
Ping Watchdog for Port
Ping Watchdog is only for PoE-enabled ports. It configures
the device to continuously ping a user-defined IP address
(it can be the Internet gateway, for example). If it is
unable to ping under the user-defined constraints, then
the device will automatically turn off PoE on the port,
and then turn it back on. This option creates a kind of
“fail-proof” mechanism.
Ping Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of
the specific connection to the remote host using the Ping
tool. The Ping tool works by sending ICMP echo request
packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
response replies. If the specified number of replies is not
received, the tool reboots the device.
Port Ping Watchdog Enables use of Ping Watchdog.
• IP Address To Ping Specify the IP address of the target
host to be monitored by Ping Watchdog.
• Ping Interval Specify the time interval (in seconds)
between the ICMP echo requests that are sent by Ping Watchdog. The default value is 300 seconds.
• Startup Delay Specify the initial time delay (in seconds)
until the first ICMP echo requests are sent by Ping Watchdog. The default value is 300 seconds.
The Startup Delay value should be at least 60 seconds
as the network interface and wireless connection
initialization takes a considerable amount of time if the
device is rebooted.
• Failure Count Specify the number of ICMP echo
response replies. If the specified number of ICMP echo
response packets is not received continuously, Ping Watchdog will reboot the device. The default value is 3.
• Cut Power for Specify the number of seconds this port
should pause PoE (if applicable).
WARNING: Cutting power during a firmware
upgrade can damage your device. Ensure that you
specify a safe Ping Interval.

Chapter 6: Ports Tab TOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide
Spanning Tree Settings for Port
STP settings are available per port if STP is enabled on the
Device tab (see “Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 21).
Edge Port If enabled, designates this port as a port that
connects to only a host device. The host device must not
be connected to another switch or router. The Edge Port is
always in the forwarding state and never undergoes the
learning or blocking state.
Note: Ensure that the Edge Port is connected to
only a host device. If the Edge Port is connected to
a switch or router (even indirectly through a host
device), then this may cause a network loop.
Path Cost The lower the value, the better. STP uses the
Path Cost to determine the best path between devices.
In most cases, specify lower values for ports with higher
bandwidths, such as gigabit speeds, and specify higher
values for ports with lower bandwidth. You can also
specify lower values for ports you prefer to use. (Path Cost
supersedes Priority.) The default is 0.
Priority The lower the value, the better. STP uses the
Priority as a tiebreaker. If the Path Cost of multiple ports
are the same, then STP chooses the port with the highest
Priority (lowest value) as the active port (the others are
blocked). If STP detects a network loop, then a port with
higher Priority is less likely to be blocked. If multiple ports
share the highest Priority, then STP enables the port with
the lowest port ID. The Priority range is 0 (highest priority)
to 255 (lowest priority).The default is 128.
Configure Alerts for Port
If you configure alerts, the alerts display on the Alerts tab;
see “Alert Log” on page 28.
For each port, you can configure the following alerts:
Link Goes Up/Down Generates an alert when the link
goes up or down.
RX Bandwidth Goes Above Generates an alert when the
RX bandwidth exceeds the specified maximum. Enter the
maximum in Mbps.
RX Bandwidth Goes Below Generates an alert when the
RX bandwidth drops below the specified minimum. Enter
the minimum in Mbps.
TX Bandwidth Goes Above Generates an alert when the
TX bandwidth exceeds the specified maximum. Enter the
maximum in Mbps.
TX Bandwidth Goes Below Generates an alert when the
RX bandwidth drops below the specified minimum. Enter
the minimum in Mbps.
