Detailed Specifications
HPE JL262A Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP Switch
Overview
The HPE JL262A refers to the Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP switch model, designed for enterprise access layer deployments that require both high port density and power delivery to endpoints. This switch is intended for environments such as campus access, wiring closets, or branch offices where multiple IP devices (phones, cameras, access points) must be supported via Power over Ethernet while maintaining full Layer 3 capabilities. It addresses the need for consolidated switching and management, offering routing, stacking, QoS, and unified wired-wireless policy integration. With support for 48 RJ-45 ports, all PoE+, and 4 SFP uplink slots, the JL262A allows network planners to power and connect devices without external injectors, while claiming a robust switching capacity and performance headroom. Its inclusion in the Aruba 2930F family means it inherits advanced features like Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking, REST APIs and programmability support (OpenFlow), dynamic segmentation, and integration with Aruba's network management tools and security frameworks. This makes it practical not only for traditional enterprise networks, but also those pursuing automation, scalability, and unified policy-based control across wired and wireless devices.
Key Features
48 PoE+ RJ-45 ports with a 370 W power budget
Four SFP uplink slots for fiber or copper connectivity
Layer 3 features: static, RIP, Access OSPF
VSF stacking to merge up to 8 switches into a logical device
Programmable control: REST APIs, OpenFlow 1.0/1.3 support
