ARUBA Switch HP 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+
The Aruba 2930F Switch Series is designed for customers creating digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These basic Layer 3 access switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave. With support from Aruba Central, you can quickly set up remote branch sites with little or no IT support. A powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC delivers performance and value with support of the latest SDN apps with future proof programmability for tomorrow’s applications. Stacking with Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) provides simplicity and scalability. The 2930F supports built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, PoE+, Access OSPF routing, Tunnel node, robust QoS, RIP routing, and IPv6 with no software licensing required.
The Aruba 2930F Switch Series provides a convenient and cost-effective access switch solution that can be quickly set up with Zero Touch Provisioning and built-in 10GbE uplinks. The robust basic Layer 3 feature set includes a limited lifetime warranty.

Features and Benefits:
Features and Benefits:
Software-defined networking
- OpenFlow supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specifications to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths
Unified Wired and Wireless
- Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager support Unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
- Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max. power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected
- Local user role defines a set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switch configuration or ClearPass
- Per-port tunneled node provides a secured tunnel to transport network traffic on a per-port basis to an Aruba Controller. Authentication and network policies will be applied and enforced at the controller
- HTTP redirect function supports HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) bring your own device (BYOD) solution
- Static IP visibility allows ClearPass to do accounting for clients with static IP address
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) Allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
- Layer 4 prioritization enables prioritization based on TCP/ UDP port numbers
- Class of Service (CoS) sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
- Rate limiting sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums
- Large buffers Provide graceful congestion management
Connectivity
- Flexible 10 Gb/s Ethernet connectivity four fixed 10 Gigabit ports (SFP+) available
- Auto-MDIX provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
- IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) provides up to 30 W per port that allows support of the latest PoE+-capable devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device; eliminates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments
- Pre-standard PoE support detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices
- IPv6
- IPv6 host enables switches to be managed in an IPv6 network
- Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
- MLD snooping forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
- IPv6 ACL/QoS supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic
- IPv6 routing supports static and RIPng protocols
- Security provides RA guard, DHCPv6 protection, dynamic IPv6 lockdown, and ND snooping
Performance
- Energy-efficient design
- 80 PLUS Silver Certified power supply increases power efficiency and savings
- Energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) support reduces power consumption in accordance with IEEE 802.3az
- HPE/Aruba ASIC architecture is designed with the latest HPE/Aruba ASIC, providing very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption
- Selectable queue configurations allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of the network applications.
