Best for
Campus Networks
Deploy as access layer switch in multi-building enterprise campuses. 48 PoE+ ports support thousands of IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras across buildings. Stackable design enables logical consolidation of multiple switches into single management domain.
Data Center Access Layer
Use as top-of-rack (ToR) switch in virtualized data centers. 176Gbps switching capacity and low latency (1.6μs at 10Gbps) support high-speed east-west traffic between servers. Four 10G SFP+ uplinks connect to core switches with minimal oversubscription.
Branch Office Networks
Consolidate access switching and PoE power delivery at remote office locations. Single 740W PoE budget eliminates need for separate power infrastructure for endpoints. Layer 3 routing offloads traffic from WAN edge routers, improving branch performance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the total PoE power budget and how many devices can it support simultaneously?
The 2930F 48G PoE+ provides 740W total PoE+ power budget across 48 ports. This supports approximately 40-50 standard IP phones (15W each), 25-30 enterprise wireless access points (20-30W each), or a mix of PoE devices. Power allocation is dynamic; the switch distributes available power based on device demand and port priority settings.
What switching capacity and latency does this switch deliver?
The 2930F delivers 176Gbps full-duplex switching capacity with 112 million packets per second (Mpps) throughput. Latency is 3.8 microseconds at 1Gbps and 1.6 microseconds at 10Gbps, enabling wire-speed forwarding with minimal delay. This non-blocking architecture supports simultaneous communication across all 48 ports without congestion.
Can multiple 2930F switches be stacked together for management and scaling?
Yes, the 2930F is fully stackable. Multiple units can be connected via stack ports and managed as a single logical entity through one management interface. This simplifies configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates across multiple switches while maintaining individual port density. Stack supports up to 8 units per HPE documentation.
What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported for network segmentation?
The 2930F supports OSPF, BGP, RIP (v1/v2), RIPng, static IP routing, and IGMP (v1/v2/v3) for IPv4 and MLD for IPv6. It maintains 10,000 IPv4 and 5,000 IPv6 routing table entries, enabling complex multi-VLAN and multi-subnet deployments. Dynamic ARP protection and VLAN support provide additional network segmentation.
What security and management features are included?
Security includes RADIUS, TACACS+, PAP, CHAP authentication; MD5 and SSL encryption; and 802.1x port-based access control. Management options include SNMP (v1/v2/v3), SSH, Telnet, CLI, and syslog. The switch supports OpenFlow for software-defined networking and LLDP for device discovery. Dynamic ARP Protection prevents ARP spoofing attacks.
What are the physical dimensions and power consumption specifications?
The 2930F is a compact 1U rack-mountable unit measuring 44.25cm (W) x 24.63cm (D) x 4.39cm (H) and weighing 3.10kg. Total system power consumption is 980W under full load. It includes one serial console port for out-of-band management and supports jumbo frames up to 9220 bytes for optimized performance.
Is this switch suitable for data center deployments and what are the uplink options?
Yes, the 2930F is ideal for data center access layers. Four 10G SFP+ ports provide high-speed uplinks to core switches using optical fiber (1000BASE-X, 10GBASE-X). Supports both multimode (OM3/OM4) and singlemode fiber. Low latency (1.6μs at 10Gbps) and high throughput minimize east-west traffic delays in virtualized environments.
