HPE JL693A Aruba 2930F Ethernet Switch

The HPE JL693A is a member of the Aruba 2930F Switch Series, engineered for the demands of the modern digital workplace. This Layer 3 access switch is optimized for mobile-first environments, serving enterprise edge, branch office, and small to midsize business networks. It addresses the need for a scalable and secure access layer with integrated wired and wireless management, providing a consistent user experience. Powered by a robust Aruba ProVision ASIC, the switch delivers low-latency performance and enhanced packet buffering. The architecture is designed for security and scalability, with support for features like Virtual Switching Framework (VSF). VSF allows for the stacking of up to eight switches into a single logical device, which simplifies network design and management while increasing resiliency. This capability is crucial for networks requiring high availability and easy expansion. With a compact 1U half-width form factor, the JL693A is ideal for deployments in space-constrained locations. Management is streamlined through tools like Aruba AirWave, Aruba Central for cloud-based oversight, and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for unified policy enforcement across both wired and wireless users. This integrated approach simplifies operations, from initial deployment with Zero Touch Provisioning to ongoing network monitoring and security management.

• Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for 8-switch stacking.
• Integrated 1GbE and 10GbE uplinks for high-speed connectivity.
• Supports up to 139W of Class 4 PoE+ power for devices.
• Unified policy management with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.
• Zero Touch Provisioning for simplified, rapid deployment.
