Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Layer 3 Managed Switch, JL256A#ABA

The Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch, part number JL256A#ABA, is a managed Layer 3 access switch designed for enterprise edge, small and midsize business, branch office, and mobile workplace networks. Manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, this Aruba switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks for high-performance wired connectivity and efficient network expansion. Its desktop and rack-mountable design supports flexible deployment in standard equipment environments.

Powered by an Aruba ProVision ASIC, the 2930F delivers low-latency switching, enhanced packet buffering, adaptive power consumption, and support for software-defined networking applications through OpenFlow. The switch includes a robust Layer 3 feature set with static and RIP routing, access control lists, IPv6, sFlow, RMON, and quality-of-service capabilities. PoE+ power supports compatible wireless access points, IP cameras, phones, and other network devices without requiring separate power adapters.

The Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch simplifies unified wired and wireless management through Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave Network Management. These tools help administrators apply consistent access, authentication, security, and quality-of-service policies across connected users and devices. Flexible security features include 802.1X, MAC authentication, Web Authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSL, port security, source-port filtering, and MAC address lockout. An out-of-band Ethernet management port helps separate management traffic from production data traffic.

Designed for dependable network operation, this environmentally friendly Aruba switch includes an internal power supply and supports organized installation with the included mounting hardware. The package contains the Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch, power cord, screw kit, mounting ears, bumper feet, and cable tie. A limited lifetime warranty provides long-term support for business-critical network infrastructure.
