What PoE capabilities does the HPE J9729-61001 provide?

The Aruba 2920-48G-PoE+ (J9729A/J9729-61001) includes 44 RJ-45 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports (IEEE 802.3at) and 4 dual-personality PoE+ ports, delivering 370W total PoE power standard. Optional 740W with external PSU supports high-density powering of Wi-Fi APs, VoIP phones, and cameras without additional injectors.

What is the switching performance of this model?

It offers 176 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 130.9 million pps throughput, ensuring non-blocking Layer 2 performance. This handles demanding east-west traffic in access layers with low latency, ideal for enterprise environments with virtualization and high-bandwidth applications.

Does it support stacking and modular uplinks?

Yes, includes 1 stacking module slot for up to 4 switches in a stack via proprietary modules, plus 2 open module slots for SFP/SFP+/QSFP uplinks. This enables scalable topologies from access to aggregation without forklift upgrades.

What management interfaces are available?

Features 1 dual-personality console (RJ-45/USB micro-B), 1 USB 1.1 port for storage/firmware, and 1 RJ-45 out-of-band management port. Supports CLI, web GUI, and centralized management via Aruba Central for simplified operations.

What are typical use cases for this switch?

Deployed in enterprise edge, SMB branches, and campus access for PoE+ endpoints. Excels in powering 48+ devices while providing VLANs, QoS, and ACLs for secure segmentation, outperforming basic unmanaged switches in scalability.

What environmental tolerances does it have?

Operates at 0° to 55°C (32° to 131°F) and 15-95% non-condensing humidity. Dimensions 4.39 x 44.25 x 33.6 cm fit 1U racks, with robust EMC compliance (IEC 61000-4 series) for noisy enterprise environments.
