Switch Gigabit Ethernet Gerido Aruba Hewlett Packard Enterprise 2930F

Aruba 2930F, 48G, PoE+, 4SFP+, 740W — Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for access-layer deployments in modern wired and wireless networks. This 48-port switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+), built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, IPv6 and Layer 3 features including static routing, RIP and Access OSPF. The switch includes an Aruba ProVision ASIC for stable performance, Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking and integration with Aruba management and security platforms.

Advantages

The Aruba 2930F series provides easy deployment and management with Zero Touch Provisioning and compatibility with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and Aruba Central. It offers robust QoS, ACLs, Dynamic Segmentation and advanced security features, along with software-defined networking readiness through REST APIs and OpenFlow support. Integrated uplinks and up to 740 W PoE+ power simplify installation for powered devices.

Suitable for

• Access-layer switching for enterprise offices and branch locations
• Powering IP phones, wireless access points and IP cameras via PoE+
• Networks requiring basic Layer 3 routing and IPv6 support
• Environments that use Aruba ClearPass, AirWave or Aruba Central for management

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 1U rack space and connect power and network uplinks. Attach Ethernet devices to the RJ-45 ports; PoE-capable devices will receive power automatically up to the available PoE budget. Use Zero Touch Provisioning or the web/CLI management interfaces to import configuration profiles, enable necessary Layer 3 features and integrate with Aruba ClearPass, AirWave or Aruba Central for policy and monitoring. For stacking, connect VSF-capable ports following Aruba stacking guidelines to form a single logical switch.

Recommendations

Monitor PoE power consumption to ensure the total draw does not exceed the 740 W budget. Use appropriate SFP/SFP+ transceivers for 10GbE uplinks and keep firmware updated to maintain security and compatibility with Aruba management tools.
