The Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter 4 combines carrier-class reliability with enterprise-level features in a compact and affordable unit. The EdgeRouter 4 offers Gigabit Ethernet ports and an SFP port for a fiber link. The EdgeRouter 4 is also capable of routing up to 3.4 million packets per second and has a line rate of 4 Gb/s.

Powered by a proprietary and intuitive graphical interface, EdgeOS, EdgeRouters can easily be configured for routing, security, and management features required to efficiently run your network. For advanced network professionals, an integrated CLI is

available for quick and direct access using familiar commands.

Even greater convenience and flexibility is provided by the UNMS app, which makes it possible to manage the EdgeRouter remotely from your mobile device.

DHCP Server

Set up multiple DHCP servers to assign IP ranges in different subnets on the different interfaces. Easily control dynamic and static IP addressing for your network devices.

Monitoring Tools

Conveniently track network activity and devices from tools such as Ping, Trace, Discover,

Packet Capture, and Log Monitor.

Firewall Policies

Organize the rules you apply in the order you specify.

Firewall Groups

Apply the policies to groups filtered by IP address, network address, or port number.

NAT Rules

The EdgeRouter changes packet addressing based on your customized source and destination NAT rules.

Interfaces

Each port functions as an independent interface. You can also configure Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) interfaces for network segmentation.

Routing

Configure static routes and dynamic routing protocols to effectively manage the routes used by

the EdgeRouter.

Intuitive User Interface

The EdgeRouter provides a graphical user interface designed for convenient setup and control. Accessed via a network port and web browser, the user-friendly interface provides intuitive management with a virtual view of the ports, displaying physical connectivity, speed, and status. The Dashboard screen displays detailed statistics: IP information, MTU, transmit and receive speeds, and status for each physical and virtual interface.

Powerful Features

EdgeOS is a sophisticated operating system loaded with robust features, including:

• VLAN interfaces for network segmentation

• Static routes and support of routing protocols: OSPF, RIP, BGP, and MPLS

• Firewall policies and NAT rules

• Application identification with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

• DHCP services

• Quality of Service (QoS)

• Network administration and monitoring tools

• Administrator and operator accounts

• Comprehensive IPv6 support

Configuration by CLI

The CLI provides quick and flexible configuration by command line and features the following:

• For power users, configuration and monitoring of all advanced features

• Direct access to standard Linux tools and shell commands

• CLI access through the following:

- Serial console port

- SSH

- Telnet

- Graphical user interface

Ubiquiti Network Management System

The EdgeRouter 4 is supported and managed by the Ubiquiti Network Management System. UNMS is

a comprehensive management controller featuring a graphic UI that is easy to navigate. You can use a single control plane to manage registered EdgeMAX devices across multiple networks and sites.

Mobile App

The UNMS app allows you to manage the EdgeRouter using your mobile device. The app can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Once the UNMS app is installed on your mobile device, simply connect to a wireless network that has access to the EdgeRouter, discover the EdgeRouter, and log into its configuration interface. You can display and configure various settings, such as interface information, throughput per port, system settings, and more.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can you plug the included power adapter into SFP port?

A: No. The SFP port is a networking port. The included power adapter connects to the only port it can plug into on the rear of the housing.

Q: 2. Can Each port functions as an independent interface VLAN ?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks ER-X-SFP EdgeRouter X's VLAN-aware switch feature allows the EdgeRouter to tag and untag VLANs on different switch-ports. This is done by grouping the Ethernet ports under the switch0 interface and adding the VLAN values to the switch-ports. More information can be found here: https://bit.ly/4bj0BFT

Q: 3. Does this device have built-in Wifi? Some of the reviews suggest yes, others suggest a separate AP is required.

A: No it does not have wifi, a separate AP would be required.

Q: 4. can you plug the included power adapter into the SFP port?

A: No, only Ethernet.

Q: 5. Can this device support PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)?

A: Yes, this switch supports Passive PoE passthrough

Q: 6. Will this power the UAP-AC-PRO-E access point?

A: No. The UAP-AC-Pro (and the essentially identical UAP-AC-Pro-E) operate from 48 V POE. The ER-X operates from 24 V. The ER-X can supply POE power to one access point, but not one of the PRO series. However, you might find that the power supply provided with the ER-X is not beefy enough to provide power to both the ER-X and the access point. There is a more powerful power adapter available that allows the ER-X to provide POE power to an access point (but only a 24 V one).

Q: 7. Is this the US versions ER-4-US or the international version ER-4 with the orange sticker?

A: We are a US authorized dealer.

Q: 8. Can this router provide DHCP for an internal GB LAN not connected to internet?

A: It can be setup for a LAN that is not internet connected.

Q: 9. Can I connect this router to a modem (using the SFP port) and five other Ethernet cables?

A: When setting up the Ubiquiti Networks ER-X-SFP EdgeRouter X with NAT you will be able to select any of the 6 ports for the WAN interface, including the SFP port.

Q: 10. Does it have a built-in firewall?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti Networks 12-Port EdgeRouter 12 Advanced Network Router does have a built in firewall. You are able to configure settings via EdgeOS.
