HPE JL262 

Aruba (2930F-48G PoE+ 4SFP) Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The HPE Aruba Aruba JL262A (Aruba 2930F Series) is a fully managed Layer 3 switch featuring 48 autosensing Gigabit PoE+ RJ‑45 ports  and 4 SFP/SFP+ uplinks. With a supported PoE budget of up to 370 W, this fanless, 1U rack-mountable switch delivers enterprise-grade performance tailored for access-layer deployments. It supports routing protocols including static, RIP, and OSPF, along with advanced policy, quality of service (QoS), and security features—making it ideal for campus edge, SMB networks, and converged wired-wireless environments that require reliable, scalable throughput.

Features

Underpinned by Aruba ProVision ASIC, the 2930F series deploys VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) stacking to scale up to eight units into a single logical switch. It offers zero-touch provisioning, RESTful API management, and integration with Aruba AirWave, ClearPass, or Aruba Central for streamlined deployment and consistent policy enforcement across wired and wireless domains. With built-in high-performance Layer 3 routing, IPv4/v6 support, ACLs, and extensive security features—including 802.1X, MAC/web authentication, and QoS classification—this switch delivers high availability without costly software licenses. It balances 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.4 Mpps forwarding to support demanding access layer workloads.

Advanced Options

Designed for demanding digital workplace environments, the 2930F delivers extremely low latency (~3.8 µs at 1 Gbps) with full non-blocking architecture. Deep buffers help prevent packet drop during traffic spikes. The fan-free design ensures silent operation for open-plan or quiet access edge deployments.
