HPE Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP switch – L3, spravovatelný, 48 x 10/100/1000

The Aruba 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP is a managed Layer 3 access switch designed for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office networks. It delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE+ support and four SFP uplink slots in a 1U rack form factor, providing wired connectivity that integrates with Aruba wireless management tools for a consistent mobile user experience.

Advantages

The switch combines a powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC with support for advanced SDN capabilities, offering low latency, increased packet buffering and selectable queue configurations to meet diverse application needs. It provides built-in 1GbE uplinks (and 10Gb-capable uplink options on some models), up to 370 W internal PoE+ power, robust basic Layer 3 features including static and RIP routing, ACLs, sFlow and IPv6, and unified management with Aruba ClearPass and AirWave.

Suitable for

• Enterprise edge and campus access
• Small and medium business networks
• Branch office connectivity with PoE requirements (APs, phones, cameras)
• Environments requiring unified wired and wireless policy management

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the supplied brackets and connect uplink SFP modules or copper uplinks to your distribution/core network. Connect endpoints to the Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and enable PoE+ for powered devices as needed. Use the web/CLI management interface or Aruba management tools such as ClearPass Policy Manager and AirWave for initial configuration, VLAN setup, QoS policies, and access control. Enable RIP or static routes when inter-VLAN routing is required and configure ACLs and 802.1X for port-level security.

Recommendations

For unified wired and wireless policy and simplified operation, integrate the switch with Aruba ClearPass and AirWave. Reserve adequate PoE budget for connected access points and cameras, segment management traffic via the out-of-band Ethernet management port, and keep firmware updated to ensure security and SDN feature compatibility.
