Switching Performance
The UniFi Switch offers the forwarding
capacity to simultaneously process
trafc on all ports at line rate without
any packet loss.
For its total, non-blocking throughput,
each UniFi Switch supports up to
8Gbps with a switching capacity of
16Gbps.
PoE
The US-8 can be powered by
802.3af/at, 48V passive PoE, or the
included power adapter. When the
US-8 is powered by 802.3at PoE or
the included power supply, port 8
supports 48V (2-pair) PoE passthrough
to deliver up to 12W of power.
The following table displays the PoE
passthrough options for the US-8:

UniFi Controller
Designed for convenient
management, the UniFi Controller
software allows admins to congure
and monitor the UniFi Switch and
other UniFi devices using a graphical
user interface. You can download
it from www.ubnt.com at no extra
charge – there is no separate software,
licensing, or support fee.
Multi-Site Management
A single instance of the UniFi
Controller running in the cloud can
manage multiple UniFi sites within
a centralized interface. Each site is
logically separated and has its own
network monitoring, conguration,
maps, statistics, and admin accounts.
Switch Conguration
You can access any managed UniFi
Switch through the UniFi Controller to
congure a variety of features:
• Operation mode (switching,
mirroring, or aggregate) per port
• Network/VLAN conguration
• Jumbo frame and ow control
services
• Network settings
• Storm control setting per port
• Spanning tree conguration
• 802.1x control and RADIUS VLAN
• Debug terminal option for
command-line interface
Datasheet
Device Conguration
The Devices screen displays the UniFi devices discovered by the UniFi Controller.
You can access each managed device for device details and conguration.
Switch Port Status
You can also view status information
for each port:
• Connection speed and duplexmode
• TX/RX data rates
• Network/VLAN setting
Statistics
The Switch Statistics screen displays a graphical overview of all LAN throughput
for each port on the selected switch. Under the same pane of glass, it also shows
LAN, WLAN, and Internet trafc, including the breakdown of protocols being
used (requires a UniFi Security Gateway).
Insights
On the Insights screen, the Switch Stats lter displays information about the
status, ports, PoE, and trafc activity of the UniFi Switches.
