What ports does the HPE JL254-61021 Aruba 2930F provide?

It offers 48x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports for access connectivity and 4x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for uplinks. Ports support Auto-MDIX, jumbo frames up to 9220 bytes, and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 370W with PoE models), enabling dense deployments of endpoints like APs and IP phones.

What Layer 3 routing features are supported?

Includes static IPv4/IPv6 routing with ECMP, RIP/RIPng (10,000 routes), and Access OSPF (OSPFv2/v3, one area, 8 interfaces). VRRP provides router redundancy for up to 128 virtual routers, ideal for access-to-distribution routing without external routers.

How does VSF stacking work on this switch?

Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacks up to 4 units into a single logical switch with 192 ports, managed via one IP. Supports LACP trunking across stack members, RPVST+, and SmartLink redundancy, simplifying cabling and operations in campus/branch environments.

What management and SDN capabilities are available?

Supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), Aruba Central cloud management, AirWave, and ClearPass integration. OpenFlow enables SDN apps on the ProVision ASIC, delivering low latency (<3μs) and adaptive power with EEE (802.3az) for energy savings.

Is PoE supported and what is the power budget?

This JL254-61021 is the non-PoE model, but the series supports up to 370W PoE+ (802.3at, 30W/port). Pre-standard PoE detection included. Pairs with external PoE for IP phones, APs, cameras in mixed environments.

What security and QoS features enhance performance?

IPv6 security with RA guard, DHCPv6 protection, ND snooping. QoS includes 802.1p prioritization, 8 queues, rate limiting, and large buffers for congestion management. ACLs and protocol VLANs (802.1v) isolate traffic effectively.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking JL254-61021 (2930F 48G 4SFP+) is a basic Layer 3 access switch optimized for mobile-first enterprise campuses and branch offices. It features 48x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports for high-density connectivity and 4x 10GbE SFP+ fixed uplinks for backbone integration. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) enables stacking up to 4 units for simplified management and scalability. Routing capabilities include static IPv4/IPv6, RIP, RIPng, and Access OSPF (one area, 8 interfaces). Robust QoS with 8 queues, traffic prioritization via 802.1p/DiffServ, rate limiting, and large buffers ensure low-latency performance for voice/video/data. Security features encompass ACLs, IPv6 RA guard, DHCP protection, and dynamic lockdown. Energy-efficient with EEE (802.3az) and 80 PLUS Silver PSU compatibility. Management via Aruba Central cloud, AirWave, ClearPass, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) reduces deployment time. Ideal for SMB branches, enterprise edge, and digital workplace access layers requiring cost-effective 10G uplinks without licensing.

48x Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 access ports with auto-MDIX.
4x 10GbE SFP+ fixed uplinks for high-speed aggregation.
