Switch gestionado HP Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series provides wired access switching designed for mobile-first workplaces and unified wired/wireless deployments. These Layer 3 access switches are intended for enterprise edge, branch offices and SMBs, offering 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, PoE+ options and integration with Aruba network management tools such as ClearPass Policy Manager and AirWave.

Advantages

The 2930F family combines a ProVision ASIC for high throughput and SDN-ready programmability with a compact feature set that includes static and RIP routing, robust QoS and integrated security capabilities. Built-in PoE+ power supports wireless access points, phones and cameras while unified management simplifies wired and wireless policy enforcement and monitoring.

Key specifications

• Layer: Basic Layer 3 access switch with static and RIP routing
• Uplinks: Built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplink options
• Power: PoE+ support with up to 370 W internal PoE+ budget (model dependent)
• ASIC: Aruba ProVision ASIC with support for OpenFlow
• Management: Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and AirWave compatibility; out-of-band Ethernet management port
• Security: 802.1X, MAC and Web Authentication, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL, port security, MAC lockout, ACLs
• Monitoring: RMON, sFlow
• IPv6: Supported without additional software licensing

How to use

Connect the switch to your network using the available 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, attach PoE+ devices to powered ports and configure routing, VLANs and QoS according to site requirements. Integrate the switch with Aruba ClearPass for unified wired/wireless policies and with AirWave for device monitoring and zero-touch provisioning. Use the out-of-band management port to separate management traffic from data traffic and enable RMON or sFlow to collect monitoring statistics.

Recommendations

For optimal deployment, verify model-specific PoE budget and uplink speeds match your access point and edge device requirements, enable 802.1X or other authentication methods for user access control, and integrate with Aruba ClearPass and AirWave for consistent policy enforcement and simplified operations.
