Management capabilities

The UniFi Network Controller can provision UniFi devices, map out networks, and quickly manage system traffic. Important network details are logically organised for a simplified, yet powerful, interface.

Network overview

From a single pane of glass you can view network topology and configuration, real-time statistics, and debugging metrics. Monitor your network’s vitals and make on-the-fly adjustments as needed.

Deep Packet Inspection

Ubiquiti’s proprietary Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine includes the latest application identification signatures to track which applications (and IP addresses) are using the most bandwidth.

Detailed analytics

The UniFi Network Controller provides configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting. Advanced search and sorting capabilities make network management more efficient.

Multi-site management

A single controller running in the cloud can manage multiple sites: multiple, distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator accounts.

Switch configuration

You can access any managed UniFi Switch through the UniFi Controller to configure a variety of features:

• Operation mode (switching or mirroring) per port.
• Network/VLAN configuration.
• Jumbo frame services.
• Network settings.
• Debug terminal option for command-line interface.

Switch port status

You can also view status information for each port:

• Connection speed and duplex mode.
• TX/RX data rates.
• Network/VLAN setting.

Software features

The UniFi Network Controller software offers the following features:

• Centralised configuration management (including configuration cloning).
• Auto-MDIX automatically adjusts as needed for straight through or crossover cable.
