• PoE All ports are set to auto-sensing PoE+ by default.
- Off Disable PoE.
- 24V Passive Select this option to power devices that
support 24V passive PoE.
Note: Before activating 24V passive PoE, ensure
that the connected device supports PoE and the
supplied voltage.
- PoE+ 802.3at/af devices can be plugged in and
automatically receive PoE.
• Networks/VLANs Select the appropriate network or
VLAN, or select Disabled to disable this port. The default
is All.
• Advanced Options Click the icon to display additional
options.
• Operation Select the operation mode for this port.
Switching, Mirroring, or Aggregate. Proceed to the
appropriate section.
Switching
- Switching The default mode.
• Link Negotiation The default is Auto, enabling
Ethernet autonegotiation. This is the appropriate
configuration for almost all circumstances. Never
use Manual unless the device being connected
to the port has also been set manually; if so, then
switch to Manual to disable autonegotiation and
enable manual configuration of duplex and speed:
• Full Duplex (Available for RJ45 ports only.) Ifthis
option is enabled, the port will be set to full
duplex. If disabled, it will be set to half duplex.
Full-duplex transmission is enabled by default.
• Link Speed Set the link speed of the interface
as needed to match the device plugged into
the port. For RJ45 ports, select 1000Mbps,
100Mbps, or 10Mbps. For SFP+ ports, select
10Gbps or 1000Mbps. SFP ports must be set to
1000Mbps.
- Isolation Select this option to mark this port as an
isolated port. Isolated ports cannot communicate
directly with any other isolated port.
- Storm Control Monitor the unicast, multicast, and/or
broadcast traffic for this port. If the specified type
of traffic on this port exceeds the threshold rate you
specify, then the UniFi Switch drops the excess traffic.
• Unicast Select this option to monitor unicast traffic.
Enter the threshold value in packets per second.
• Multicast Select this option to control unicast
traffic destined to unknown MAC addresses. Enter
the threshold in packets per second.
Note: Unlike Broadcast and Multicast storm
control, the Unicast storm control does not
apply to all unicast traffic. It applies only to
traffic destined to a MAC address not found
in the switch’s MAC address table. Most
devices should have a very low rate of such
traffic. High rates of such traffic are indicative
of malicious activity, or a broken device.
Blocking excessive rates of such traffic may
prevent problems on other devices on the
network.
• Broadcast Select this option to monitor broadcast
traffic. Enter the threshold in packets per second.
• Apply Click Apply to save changes.
• Cancel Click Cancel to discard changes.
