UBIQUITI 10G 16-Port Managed Aggregation

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti Networks® EdgeSwitch™ XG. This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through installation and also includes warranty terms.

Package Contents

TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT6A (or above). It is the customer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements

Phillips screwdriver (for rack- or wall-mounting)
Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available (for rack-mounting)
Use compatible fiber SFP+ modules with the appropriate fiber optic cabling. For information about compatible fiber SFP+ modules, visit: community.ubnt.com/edgemax
For indoor applications, use Category 6A (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
For outdoor applications, shielded Category 6A (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply.

We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the switch to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the Edge Switch XG itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Front Panel Button

Button	Description
Reset	There are two methods to reset the EdgeSwitch XG to factory defaults:

Runtime Reset (Recommended)

The EdgeSwitch XG should be running after bootup is complete, and the System LED is white. Press and hold the Reset button. The EdgeSwitch XG will reboot, and the System LED becomes blue after three

seconds. Continue to hold the Reset button for about 15 seconds until the System LED flashes blue for two seconds. This indicates that the EdgeSwitch XG has reset to its factory defaults.

Power-on Reset

1. Disconnect the power from the EdgeSwitch XG.

2. While connecting the power to the EdgeSwitch XG, hold the Reset button for about 15 seconds until the System LED flashes blue for two seconds. This indicates that the EdgeSwitch XG has reset to its factory defaults.

Back Panel Console Port

Port	Description
Console	RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management.

Use an RJ45-to-DB9, serial console cable, also known as a rollover cable, to connect the Console port to your computer. Then

configure the following settings as needed:

• Baud rate 115200

• Data bits 8

• Parity NONE

• Stop bits 1

• Flow control NONE

Back Panel Power

DC Input: The 25VDC input can connect a redundant or stand-alone DC power source (not included) with minimum
power: 56W, 25 to 16V, and 2.5 mm DC power inline connector.

Note: You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if the internal AC/DC power supply no longer provides power, then the EdgeSwitch XG will switch to the DC power source without interrupting its operation.

Side Panel

Hardware Installation

The EdgeSwitch XG can be placed on a horizontal surface, mounted on a wall, or mounted in a rack.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW

Mounting in a Rack (Optional)

Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets to the EdgeSwitch XG using the eight Bracket Screws
Attach the EdgeSwitch XG to the rack or wall using the four Mounting Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the Cage Nuts with the Mounting Screws.)

Connecting Power

Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the EdgeSwitch XG.
Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Connecting SFP+

Remove the protective plug covering the SFP+ port.
Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP+ port.
Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber module. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.
Repeat steps 1-3 to connect additional SFP+ ports.

Connecting RJ45

Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host system to any RJ45 port of the EdgeSwitch XG.
Connect Ethernet cables from the RJ45 ports of your devices to the other RJ45 ports of the EdgeSwitch XG.

Accessing the Configuration Interface

The EdgeSwitch XG 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. Proceed to the appropriate section, DHCP or Fallback IP Address:

DHCP

Use one of the following methods:

Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the EdgeSwitch XG based on its MAC address (on the label).
Let the EdgeSwitch XG obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.

To log in, follow these steps:

Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Read the Ubiquiti License Agreement, and check the box next to I agree to the terms of this License Agreement to accept it. Click Login.

The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at documentation.ubnt.com/edgemax

Fallback IP Address

Ensure that your computer (or other host system) is connected to the EdgeSwitch XG.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address in the address field (192.168.1.2 is the default fallback IP address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Read the Ubiquiti License Agreement, and check the box next to I agree to the terms of this License Agreement to accept it. Click Login.
The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Go to System > Connectivity > IPv4.
Change the IP Address to a unique IP address or select DHCP on the IPv4 tab. Click Submit.

Note: If you change the IP settings, then the session will be cut off, and you will need to reconnect to the EdgeSwitch XG using the new IP address.

Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at documentation.ubnt.com/edgemax
