HPE Aruba J9562A 2915 Managed Ethernet Switch 8 Port

Overview

The HPE J9562A is a fully managed, Layer 3 lite access switch, engineered for enterprise edge, branch office, and SMB deployments. Its primary function is to deliver reliable, gigabit connectivity with Power over Ethernet (PoE) in a compact, fanless chassis, making it ideal for acoustically sensitive environments such as open offices, conference rooms, and classrooms. The unit addresses the need for a quiet, space-efficient switch that can power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly over the network cable. This switch provides a robust set of Layer 3 features, including support for static and RIP routing, which allows for basic network segmentation and routing between VLANs without the complexity of a full Layer 3 core switch. This capability is critical for small to mid-sized networks looking to improve performance and security by separating traffic types. The inclusion of two dual-personality ports offers deployment flexibility, enabling either RJ-45 copper or fiber SFP uplink connections for linking to a distribution switch or extending the network over longer distances. Designed for straightforward deployment and operation, the J9562A can be mounted in a 19-inch rack or placed on a desktop. Its 1U half-width form factor allows for two units to be mounted side-by-side. Management is handled through a comprehensive command-line interface (CLI), a graphical web-based interface, or via network management platforms like HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC). This provides administrators with multiple options for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, from basic setup to advanced policy implementation.
