Frequently asked questions

What is the total PoE power budget and per-port maximum delivery?

The J9779A provides 195W total PoE+ power budget across 24 ports. Each PoE+ port supports IEEE 802.3at standard, delivering up to 30W per port for high-power devices like access points and cameras. The power budget is shared across all 24 ports, requiring careful capacity planning for high-density deployments.

What uplink options are available for campus or building backbone connectivity?

The switch includes two 10/100/1000 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and two fixed Gigabit SFP slots supporting fiber transceivers (SX, LX, LH, BX). This enables flexible uplink configurations: copper Gigabit for short distances or fiber for long-distance campus/building interconnects with reduced electromagnetic interference.

What switching capacity and throughput does the J9779A deliver?

The J9779A provides 12.8Gbps non-blocking switching capacity with up to 9.5 million packets per second (Mpps) throughput at 64-byte frame size. Latency is less than 1.7 microseconds for 100Mbps traffic, ensuring low-latency access-layer performance suitable for real-time applications and VoIP.

How is the switch managed and what management platforms are supported?

Management options include web GUI, CLI, SNMP, and REST API. The switch integrates with Aruba AirWave for network monitoring, Aruba Central for cloud-based management, and ClearPass Policy Manager for unified policy enforcement. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables fast, low-touch rollouts in large deployments.

What Layer 2 features support multi-tenant and guest network segmentation?

The switch supports up to 512 VLANs with 4,094 VLAN IDs for fine-grained traffic segmentation across departments, tenants, or guest networks. Jumbo frame support up to 9,220 bytes improves throughput for large data transfers. QoS and traffic prioritization enable voice and video quality assurance.

What are the physical dimensions and power requirements for rack mounting?

The J9779A is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 44.2cm W x 32.26cm D x 4.45cm H (17.4 x 12.7 x 1.75 inches) and weighing 3.81kg (8.4 lbs). It mounts in standard 19-inch EIA telco racks or equipment cabinets. Rack-mount kit with brackets and screws is included. Operating temperature range is 0–45°C.

Is the J9779A suitable for high-density wireless AP deployments?

Yes, the 195W PoE+ budget supports multiple concurrent powered access points. With 24 PoE+ ports, typical deployments can power 6–8 high-power APs (25–30W each) plus additional IP phones and cameras. The 12.8Gbps switching capacity and low latency ensure adequate backhaul bandwidth for multi-AP wireless networks.
