HPE JL256A ABA Aruba 2930F managed Ethernet switch 48 ports

The HPE JL256A#ABA is a high-performance Layer 3 access switch belonging to the Aruba 2930F series. It is engineered for the demands of the modern digital workplace, providing a reliable and secure foundation for enterprise edge, small to midsize business (SMB), and branch office networks. This switch excels at connecting and powering devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, and security cameras, streamlining network infrastructure. At its core, the switch is powered by a robust Aruba ProVision ASIC, delivering low latency and high performance. It features 48 autosensing 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), offering a total power budget of 370W. For high-speed connectivity to the network core or for stacking, four dedicated 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports are provided, ensuring that network bottlenecks are minimized. Designed for operational simplicity and scalability, the 1U rack-mountable switch integrates seamlessly into various environments. Management is highly flexible, with options for cloud-based control via Aruba Central, on-premises management with Aruba AirWave, or through a standard command-line interface. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) technology further simplifies network design by allowing up to eight 2930F switches to be stacked and managed as a single logical device.

• High-speed 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for core connectivity.
• 370W of available PoE+ power for downstream devices.
• Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for 8-switch stacking.
• Layer 3 routing with static, RIP, and Access OSPF.
• Unified management via Aruba Central or AirWave.
