Ubiquiti UDM-PRO-MAX UniFi Dream Machine

Ubiquiti UDM-PRO-MAX Rack-Mount UniFi Gateway

Overview

The Ubiquiti UDM-PRO-MAX is a 1U rack-mount gateway appliance built for mid-to-large enterprise networks that need routing, threat detection, and unified management in a single chassis. The UDM-PRO-MAX consolidates firewall, IPS/IDS, VPN, and multi-protocol access control — all running through a single Ethernet management port. It runs a quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 processor at 2.0 GHz and delivers 5 Gbps of IDS/IPS-enabled routing throughput, meaning deep packet inspection happens without bottlenecking your WAN traffic. The unit measures 442.4 × 43.7 × 285.6 mm and weighs 4.7 kg, fitting standard 19-inch racks without external power conditioning.

Port and Connectivity Configuration

The UDM-PRO-MAX provides eight 1 GbE RJ45 ports (1G/100M/10M), one 2.5 GbE RJ45 port, and two 10G SFP+ ports. The dual 10G SFP+ uplinks eliminate throughput constraints when connecting to core network infrastructure or multi-WAN failover scenarios. Eight 1 GbE ports cover LAN distribution to access points, cameras, and edge devices without requiring separate switches for small-to-medium deployments. The 2.5 GbE port bridges legacy and next-generation infrastructure. Maximum WAN port count is 8, with one default 10G SFP+ and one 2.5 GbE configured as WAN by default — reassign others as needed for multi-ISP load balancing or active-active redundancy.

Management and Security Scope

The UDM-PRO-MAX integrates Ubiquiti's UniFi ecosystem: Network (routing, VLANs, SD-WAN), Protect (IPS/IDS with 55,000+ signatures), Access (authentication, RADIUS), Talk (VoIP), and Connect (client VPN). It manages 200+ UniFi devices, up to 50 HD cameras, 25 2K cameras, or 15 4K cameras, and 150 access hubs — scale appropriate for campus, multi-site MSP, and retail chains. IPS/IDS inspection runs at 5 Gbps without degrading throughput. Advanced filtering (regions, domains, apps), zone-based firewalling, and license-free SD-WAN are included. High availability via VRRP Shadow Mode, LACP port aggregation, and dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP) support failover and load balancing across multiple WAN connections.

Power and Environment

Internal 100W AC/DC power supply accepts 100–240V AC universal input with maximum 60W draw during normal operation. Operating temperature range is −10 to 40°C, supporting both climate-controlled datacenters and unheated network closets. Aluminum CNC and SGCC steel enclosure provides ±15kV air and ±8kV contact ESD protection. NDAA-compliant; certified by CE, FCC, IC, and Anatel.
