This switch supports up to 16 groups of eight network ports, which may be configured to form high-bandwidth connections to compatible devices.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this auto sense 48 volt POE devices also?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti Networks EdgeSwitch ES-48-750W Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switches with SFP BH #UBES48750W has auto-sensing PoE.

Q: 2. I currently with this 8-port switch but need more than 8 ports (I need 12 ports). Which switch would be an appropriate upgrade?

A: The only Unifi options available with more ports are the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi 16-Port Managed Gigabit PoE Switch with SFP (UBUSW16POE) or the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Managed PoE+ 16-Port Gigabit Switch with SFP - 150W (UBUS16150W).

Q: 3. I current own this switch but need a switch with more ports (I need 12 ports). Which model should I upgrade to?

A: You could simply add the same model to the current switch and network and double your ports. This is an example of a higher level switch with more ports: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273932-REG/ubiquiti_networks_us_16_150w_us_unifi_switch_16port.html

Q: 4. Why can I see everything connected to this toughswitch like a hub instead of only the device on the port I am connected to? Is this actually a switch?

A: Please clarify your question. If you configure the ports to be on the same (or no) VLAN then you will see all devices on all ports.Switch works very well.

Q: 5. Does it have RADIUS auth option?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti Networks ES-5XP EdgeSwitch XP 5-Port Advanced Gigabit PoE Managed Switch, B&H # UBES5XP, supports RADIUS authentication.

Q: 6. does this switch provide the power over Ethernet to your devices or does it just let it voltage pass through?

A: The switch gives you actual POE on any of the ports. You must enable the POE for the individual ports in the configuration. For instance, I use one port to connect/power a Ubiquiti NanobeamAC and another to connect/power a Ubiquiti Nanostation LOCO M5 (as AP) and the other ports I have disabled POE as they have not POE devices connect. A cool feature is besides the LAN activity led on each port there is a POE indicator LED. Hope that helps.

Q: 7. Do this switch require a Unifi Key?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch Enterprise 48 48-Port 2.5Gb PoE+ Compliant Managed Network Switch with SFP+, B&H # UBUSWENPR48P, does not require a Unifi Cloud Key but it does require the Unifi controller software running on a computer or a server. The Cloud key is a dedicated "mini-computer" that can run this software.

Q: 8. Do you know if the AV Line M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4212PX) will connect to my laptop at 2.5gbps using the SFP+ Port? Thanks!

A: Most laptops do not have SFP+ ports, but if you have a means to connect to the SFP+ port then you will be able to achieve speeds up to 10 gbps.

Q: 9. Is there a limited amount of Link Aggregation or LACP creations?

A: Netgear does not mention a limit for the number of LACP connections supported by the Netgear M4350-44M4X4V 48-Port Multi-Gig PoE++ Compliant Managed AV Network Switch. More information can be found here: https://bit.ly/42ssO9h

Q: 10. If I have 4 cameras coming in via NDI, this should power them and take 1 outbound ethernet to an NDI switcher and it will work?

A: It would depend on the power consumption, NDI version, resolution and frame rate. Considering the 240W PoE+ power budget and max wattage of 30W for PoE+ devices, the Netgear AV Line M4250 GSM4212PX 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed AV Switch with SFP (240W) should provide enough power for the cameras. Bandwidth would be the biggest issue. If you are using full Bandwidth NDI, transmitting 4K signal at 60 FPS from each camera, your Ethernet connection going to the NDI switcher may not have enough bandwidth for all 4 signals. If you are using lower bandwidth NDI such as HX3 or a lower resolution, such as 1080p, your single Etherenet connection to the NDI switcher should be sufficient.
