Does it support stacking and how?

Yes, Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) enables stacking up to 8 switches into one logical device using front-panel ports. This simplifies management, reduces cabling, and provides scalability for enterprise access layers with seamless failover.

What Layer 3 features are included?

Built-in Access OSPF, static and RIP routing, ACLs, sFlow, robust QoS, and IPv6 support require no software licensing. These enable efficient routing, security, and monitoring in IPv4/IPv6 environments without added costs.

What are the uplink options?

Four SFP/SFP+ dual-rate ports support 1G/10G transceivers (min 0, max 4). They provide flexible, high-speed uplinks to core switches or servers with low latency (<1.6 µs at 10Gbps) for aggregation.

How is the switch managed?

Out-of-band via serial RS-232C or micro USB console, plus SNMP, Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), web interface, and cloud-based Aruba Central. Supports FTP, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL for secure, automated deployments.

What are the physical specs and environmentals?

1U rack-mountable (4.39 x 44.25 x 30.42 cm, 4.46 kg) with side-to-side airflow. Operates 0°C to 45°C, 15-95% humidity (noncondensing), acoustic noise 49.7 dB power/37.1 dB pressure. Internal AC supply 100-240V, max 459W.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ TAA-compliant Switch (SKU: JL264A) is a fixed-port Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch designed for enterprise access networks. It features 48 RJ-45 PoE+ autosensing 10/100/1000 ports with a 740W PoE budget, supporting up to 30W per port for IP phones, wireless APs, and cameras. Four dual-rate SFP/SFP+ 1G/10G uplink ports enable high-speed connectivity. Layer 3 capabilities include Access OSPF, static/RIP routing, ACLs, sFlow, and IPv6 with no licensing required. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) allows stacking up to 8 units for simplified management. Equipped with 1 GB DDR3 RAM, 4 GB eMMC storage, and 12.38 MB packet buffer, it delivers low latency (<3.8 µs at 1G, <1.6 µs at 10G). Management options include SNMP, ZTP, serial/micro USB, and Aruba Central cloud support. Compact 1U rack-mountable design (4.39 x 44.25 x 30.42 cm, 4.46 kg) with side-to-side airflow suits SMB and branch deployments requiring scalable, secure networking.
