HPE J9774A Aruba 2530 Managed Ethernet Switch 8G PoE

Detailed Specifications

The HPE J9774A is a fully managed Layer 2 access switch, engineered for enterprise edge, branch office, and SMB environments. It reliably solves the need for secure, cost-effective Gigabit connectivity for devices requiring Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This compact switch provides an efficient solution for powering devices like VoIP phones, IoT sensors, and wireless access points directly over the network cabling, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying deployments. This switch delivers robust Layer 2 capabilities with a 20 Gbps switching capacity and a throughput of up to 14.8 Mpps, ensuring responsive performance for business networks. It incorporates essential security and quality of service (QoS) features, such as flexible authentication methods including 802.1X and MAC, alongside advanced denial-of-service (DoS) protection. These features allow for granular traffic prioritization and ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth, which is vital for maintaining performance in converged networks carrying voice, video, and data traffic. Designed for operational simplicity and flexibility, the J9774A can be deployed on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or installed in a standard 19-inch rack. Its compact, fanless design ensures silent operation, making it ideal for open office spaces. Management is streamlined through a choice of interfaces, including a web GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and SNMP. For broader network oversight, it integrates seamlessly with Aruba AirWave and the cloud-based Aruba Central management platforms, enabling zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment across multiple sites.
