Description
The 8-port ER-8 EdgeRouter with EdgeMAX Technology from Ubiquiti Networks is capable of supporting numerous high-bandwidth clients in an enterprise environment. With the ability to support up to 2 million packets per second for 64-byte packets and 8 Gbps for 512 byte packets this switch is capable of transmitting data quickly and efficiently.
Managing this switch and the network it resides on is simple thanks to a variety of management tools including DHCP server capabilities, monitoring tools such as ping, trace, discover, and more; and the ability to setup and configure operator and admin user accounts. To secure the network Ubiquiti has implemented a variety of features including advanced firewall policies and groups as well as NAT rules for specific packet addressing.
Installation of this EdgeRouter is simple as it comes compatible with a standard rackmount design. Once installed, Ubiquiti offers intuitive management features including an easy to use interface complete with graphical menus that can be access through a web browser. Additional tools include support of OSPF, RIP, and BGP routing protocols, firewall policies, DHCP services, Quality of Service (QoS) support, and much more.

Manage Your Network
- DHCP Server: Sets up multiple DHCP servers to assign IP ranges in different subnets on the different interfaces, and easily control dynamic and static IP addressing for your network devices.
- Monitoring Tools: Conveniently tracks network activity and devices from tools such as Ping, Trace, Discover, Packet Capture, and Log Monitor.
- User Accounts: You can manage access to the EdgeRouter using unique administrator and operator accounts.
Network Security
- Firewall Policies: Organizes the rules you apply in the order you specify.
- Firewall Groups: Applies 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.
Direct Traffic Flow
- Interfaces: Each gigabit port functions as an independent interface. You can also configure Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) interfaces for network segmentation.
- Routing: You can configure static routes and dynamic routing protocols to effectively manage the routes used by the EdgeRouter.
