Detailed Specifications

The HPE JL558A#ABA is an Aruba 2930F series Layer 3 access switch designed for enterprise edge, branch office, and SMB networks. It provides a high-performance, secure, and easy-to-manage solution for organizations creating digital workplaces optimized for mobile users and IoT devices. This switch is engineered to handle the demands of modern networks by combining robust Layer 3 features, including static and RIP routing and Access OSPF, with powerful hardware, requiring no additional software licensing for its core capabilities. At its core, the switch is powered by a potent Aruba ProVision ASIC, which ensures low latency, increased packet buffering, and SDN optimizations for demanding applications. It features 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four SFP+ uplink ports, supporting both 1GbE and 10GbE speeds for flexible, high-speed connections to the network core. The substantial 740W PoE+ power budget makes it ideal for powering a large number of downstream devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones, simplifying infrastructure deployment. Designed for scalability and simplified management, the Aruba 2930F supports Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) technology, allowing up to eight switches to be stacked and managed as a single logical device. This simplifies network architecture and enhances resiliency. Management is further streamlined through integration with platforms like Aruba Central for cloud-based control, as well as Aruba AirWave and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for comprehensive on-premises network management and policy enforcement. Its 1U rack-mountable form factor allows for seamless integration into standard networking closets.
