What are the port configurations on the HPE Aruba JL354A?

The JL354A features 24 RJ45 autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (IEEE 802.3ab Type 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) and 4 independent dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ ports for flexible uplinks. It includes an RJ45/micro-USB console port and supports stacking via 2x SFP+ ports.

What is the switching performance of the JL354A?

It delivers 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.2 Mpps throughput in hardware. Latency is <3.8 µs at 1GbE and <1.6 µs at 10GbE for 64-byte packets, ensuring low-delay forwarding for VoIP, video, and data center applications.

Is the JL354A stackable and how?

Yes, stackable up to 4 units using 2x SFP+ ports per switch for backplane speeds up to 40 Gbps. Provides single IP management, hitless failover, and simplified topology for resilient access layer deployments.

What management features does it support?

Runs ArubaOS-Switch 16.10+ with CLI, web GUI, SNMP, and cloud-based Aruba Central. Includes static/dynamic IPv4/IPv6 routing, ACLs, QoS, 802.1X authentication, and dynamic segmentation for policy enforcement.

What power and environmental specs apply?

Dual modular AC power supplies (180-264 VAC), max power draw 75W without PoE. Operating temperature 0-45°C, humidity 15-95% non-condensing. Fan-cooled with hot-swappable fans for enterprise reliability.

What transceivers are compatible with the SFP+ ports?

Supports HPE Aruba 1G SFP (e.g., J4858D) and 10G SFP+ modules like J9150A SR, J9151A LR per official transceiver guide. Requires firmware compatibility; LRM not supported in 2540 series.
