Chapter 5: System Settings
Management VLAN ID Specify the ID of the
management VLAN. This VLAN must be configured in the
list of VLANs; otherwise you may lose access. The default
is 1.
IPv4
Network Mode The EdgeSwitch can use a static IP
address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP server.
• DHCP The local DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP
address, netmask, gateway IP address, and DNS address
to the EdgeSwitch.
• Static Assign static IP settings to the EdgeSwitch.
Note: IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the EdgeSwitch’s network
segment.
- IP Address Specify the IP address of the EdgeSwitch.
This IP will be used for device management purposes.
The default is 192.168.1.2.
- Subnet Mask When the subnet mask 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 EdgeSwitch’s network segment. The default
255.255.255.0 (or “/24”) netmask is commonly used on
many Class C IP networks.
- 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 EdgeSwitch directs packets
to the gateway if the destination host is not within the
local network.
- 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.
IPv6
Note: The Management VLAN ID setting is in the IPv4
section; however, it is shared for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Enabled/Disabled IPv6 is enabled by default.
Network Mode Configure the appropriate mode for the
EdgeSwitch: Link‑local, DHCP, Static IP, or Stateless
Address AutoConfig Mode.
• Link‑local A link-local address is intended for
communication only within the local network. Link-local
addresses have a prefix of fe80::/64.
• DHCP The local DHCPv6 server assigns a dynamic IP
address, netmask, gateway IP address, and DNS address
to the EdgeSwitch.
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 EdgeSwitch. You can also reset
the EdgeSwitch to its factory default settings.
(Press and hold the Reset button for more than
10 seconds.) Its default IP Address is reset to an
EUI-64 link-local address derived from its MAC
address.
• Static Assign static IPv6 settings to the EdgeSwitch.
Note: IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the EdgeSwitch’s network
segment.
