Not in its default setup, but there are plenty of addon Hats that
provide up to 5 gigabit ports ... here is one example:

If you are after using Ubuntu you are best served with a Pi, which is
fully supported and gets regular security updates like any other Ubuntu
... all other options will mean you will have to use something like the
armbian debian fork, debian itself or create your own Ubuntu userspace
rootfs and maintain the boot setup and kernel yourself ...
