Basic Settings

Host Name

System host name Enter a name for the EdgeRouter. The

host name identifies the EdgeRouter as a specific device. For example, a .com URL typically uses this format: <host_name>.domain_name.com

Time Zone

Use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) UTC is the

international time standard used by Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. If your routers are located in multiple time zones, then you may want to use UTC.

Time zone To set your network to a specific time zone,

select Time zone and configure the following:

• Select continent/ocean Select your location.

• Select country/region Select your location.

• Select time zone Select your time zone.

Gateway

Domain Name

System domain name Enter the domain name of your

EdgeRouter. The domain name identifies the EdgeRouter’s network on the Internet. For example, a .com URL typically uses this format: host_name.<domain_name>.com

NTP

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 EdgeRouter. If the System Log option is enabled, then the system time is reported next to every log entry that registers a system event.

Automatically update system time using NTP By

default, the EdgeRouter obtains the system time from a time server on the Internet.

Click Save to apply your changes.

Management Settings

SSH Server

System gateway address Enter the IP address of your

gateway. This will set up your default route. If you want to set up additional default routes, configure them as static routes on the Routing tab. See “Routing Tab” on page

14 for more information.

Name Server

Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses; each DNS server on the Internet holds these mappings in its respective DNS database.

System name server Enter the IP address of your DNS

server (example: 192.0.2.1 for IPv4 or 2001:db8::1 for IPv6). Click Add New to add additional servers.

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

Enable Enabled by default. This option allows SSH

(Secure Shell) access to the EdgeRouter for remote configuration by command line. SSH uses encryption and authentication, so it is a secure form of communication. See “Command Line Interface” on page 45 for more information.

Port Specify the TCP/IP port of the SSH server. The default

is 22.

Chapter 2: Using EdgeOSEdgeOS™ User Guide

Telnet Server

Enable Disabled by default. This option allows Telnet

access to the EdgeRouter for remote configuration by command line. Telnet is not a secure form of communication, so we recommend SSH. See “Command

Line Interface” on page 45 for more information.

Port Specify the TCP/IP port of the Telnet server. The

default is 23.

System Log

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.

Log to remote server This option allows the EdgeRouter

to send system log messages to a remote server. Enter the remote host IP address and TCP/IP port that should receive the system log (syslog) messages. 514 is the default port for the commonly used, system message logging utilities.

For the purpose of equipment identification, configure the SNMP agent with contact and location information:

Enable Disabled by default. This option activates the

SNMP agent.

SNMP community Specify the SNMP community string.

It is required to authenticate access to MIB (Management Information Base) 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 is public.

Contact Specify the contact who should be notified in

case of emergency.

Location Specify the physical location of the EdgeRouter.

Click Save to apply your changes.

Configuration Management & Device Maintenance

• Speed/Duplex The default is Auto negotiation. The EdgeRouter 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.

To manually specify the transmission link speed and duplex mode, select one of the following options: 100/full, 100/half, 10/full, or 10/half.

Full‑duplex mode allows communication in both directions simultaneously. Half‑duplex mode allows communication in both directions, but not simultaneously and only in one direction at a time.

• Proxy ARP Enable the EdgeRouter to answer a source host’s ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests for the IP address of a destination host that is not located on the source host’s network. ARP allows hosts on the same network to discover each other’s IP address via a layer 2 broadcast to all MAC addresses. If they are not on the same network, the layer 2 broadcast will not reach its destination; however, the EdgeRouter can serve as the go‑between if Proxy ARP is enabled.

PoE Watchdog

Watchdog is only for PoE‑enabled ports. It configures

PoE

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.

Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of

PoE

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.

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

• Enable Watchdog Enable the use of PoE Watchdog.

‑ IP Address To Ping Specify the IP address of the

target host to be monitored by PoE Watchdog.

‑ Ping Interval Specify the time interval (in seconds)

between the ICMP echo requests that are sent by PoE 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 PoE 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, PoE 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 4: Routing Tab

The Routing tab displays status information about a variety of connected, static, RIP, and OSPF routes. You can also configure static routes and OSPF options. Any setting marked with a blue asterisk * is required.

You have two sub-tabs:

Routes View route information and create static routes.

OSPF Configure OSPF options.

IPv6 Routing

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is gaining popularity and is bound to grow as IP addressing demands increase. The EdgeOS Configuration Interface supports IPv6 for the following options:

• System > Name Server configuration (Refer to “Name Server” on page 5.)

• Dashboard > VLAN configuration (Refer to “Add VLAN” on page 9.)

• Dashboard > Interface configuration (Refer to “Configure the Interface” on page 10.)

For IPv6 addresses, the EdgeOS Configuration Interface supports “::” (double-colon) notation, which substitutes “::” for a contiguous sequence of 16-bit blocks set to zero. Here is an example: 2001:db8::1

If written out, the IPv6 address becomes:

2001:db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001

The EdgeOS Configuration Interface displays IPv6 addresses only in two locations:

• System > Name Server section

• Dashboard tab

The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will increase its support of IPv6 in future releases. For other options, you can use the CLI, which has comprehensive IPv6 support.

Note: Use the CLI to view IPv6 options configured

in the CLI but not supported by the EdgeOS Configuration Interface.

Routes

A route determines how traffic travels to its destination network. If more than one route is suitable, the EdgeRouter uses administrative distance as a metric to compare all available routes, including directly connected routes, manually configured static routes, dynamic routes, and the default route. The EdgeRouter uses the route with the lowest administrative distance.

All/Static/Connected/RIP/OSPF

Add Static Route To create a new static route, click Add

Static Route.

The Create Static Route screen appears.

Complete the following:

• Select Route Type You have three options: Gateway, Interface, or Black Hole.

- Gateway Define a route using the IP address and subnet mask of the next hop gateway.

- Interface Define a route using a next hop interface.

• Destination network Enter the IP address and

subnet mask using slash notation: <network_IP_address>/<subnet_mask_number> (example: 192.0.2.0/24).

• Next hop interface Select the appropriate

interface from the drop-down list.

• Distance (1-255) Enter the administrative distance.

If there are identical routes from different sources (such as static, RIP, and OSPF), the EdgeRouter compares the routes and uses the route with the lowest distance.

• Enable Check the box to enable the route.

Click Save to apply your changes.

- Black Hole Define a route that drops unwanted traffic.

• Destination network Enter the IP address and

subnet mask using slash notation: <network_IP_address>/<subnet_mask_number> (example: 192.0.2.0/24).

The first default route is configured on the System tab; see “System gateway address” on page 5 for more information. To create multiple default routes, set up static routes and enter 0.0.0.0/0.

• Next hop address Enter the IP address.

• Distance (1-255) Enter the administrative distance.

If there are identical routes from different sources (such as static, RIP, or OSPF), the EdgeRouter compares the routes and uses the route with the lowest distance.

• Enable Check the box to enable the route.
