HPE R0M68A 

Aruba 2930M 24-Port Smart-Rate PoE Class 6 Layer 3 Access Switch

The HPE Aruba R0M68A 2930M is a 1U Layer 3 access switch designed for modern digital workplaces. Featuring24 multi-gigabit Smart-Rate ports (1/2.5/5 GbE PoE Class 6), it delivers fast, reliable connectivity over existing cabling while providing up to 60 W of PoE per port for high-power devices. With modular uplink and stacking slots, redundant power options, and robust Layer 3 routing, this switch combines performance, power, and future-ready flexibility to support enterprise, campus, and branch deployments. Unified management via Aruba Central, ClearPass, and AirWave simplifies deployment and operations.

Features

The R0M68A is part of Aruba2930M series aimed at delivering high-performance access switching optimized for mobile, wireless, and IoT-rich environments. The 24 Smart-Rate PoE Class 6 ports support multi-gigabit speeds—1G, 2.5G, and 5G—over legacy cabling, making them ideal for powering next-gen Wi-Fi access points and edge devices without rewiring.With modular uplink and stacking slots, the switch scales gracefully. It supports optional 10 GbE SFP+ and 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks, and stacking up to 10 units for simplified management and 100 Gbps stacking throughput.This switch includes a comprehensive Layer 3 feature set—Static, RIP, Access OSPF routing, VRRP, IPv6, ACLs, QoS, and Dynamic Segmentation—without requiring additional software licensing.

Advanced Options

Designed for simplicity and scalability, the 2930M series integrates with Aruba management tools—ClearPass Policy Manager, AirWave, and Aruba Central—for seamless deployment, role-based access, and zero-touch provisioning.Built with Aruba high-performance ProVision ASIC, the R0M68A delivers very low latency across multi-gigabit ports—<6.5 µs at 2.5 GbE, and <4.2 µs at 5 GbE—ensuring seamless, real-time performance.
Stacking is highly resilient, allowing up to 10 chassis to behave as a single unit and delivering 100 Gbps of stacking bandwidth—a robust foundation for growing networks. Redundant, hot-swappable PoE power supplies support full PoE load, up to a total of 1,440 W, ensuring uptime and power reliability.
