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 or
192.168.1.20, depending on the model number.
Fallback IP Address Model Number
192.168.1.2
ES-8-150W, ES-12F, ES-16-150W, ES-16-XG,
ES-24-250W, ES-24-500W, ES-24-Lite,
ES-48-500W, ES-48-750W, ES-48-Lite
192.168.1.20 ES-10X, ES-10XP
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).
