What is the PoE budget and power specs?

Provides 380W PoE+ budget across 48 ports, with internal fixed AC power supply (100-240V). Suitable for powering up to 48 Class 3/4 devices like APs and cameras without external injectors, optimizing costs in dense deployments.

What performance metrics does it deliver?

Offers 17.6 Gbps switching capacity, 13.1 Mpps forwarding rate, and 5.5 µs latency at 100 Mb. Non-blocking architecture supports wire-speed PoE traffic, ideal for latency-sensitive voice/video in SMB or branch networks.

Is it compatible with Aruba management tools?

Supports cloud-based Aruba Central and on-premises AirWave management. Also integrates with HPE Intelligent Management Center; dual flash images allow OS backups. SFP ports require revision B or later transceivers like J4858B.

What security and QoS features are included?

Features port security, ACLs, 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP protection. QoS prioritizes traffic with 8 queues per port, enabling VoIP/video optimization in mixed enterprise environments.

What is the physical form factor and environment specs?

1U rack-mountable (EIA 19-inch), weighs 8.7 lb (3.95 kg), operates 0-45°C. Fan-cooled with front-to-back airflow; mounting kit available for telco cabinets.
