Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, providing IP routing capabilities that enhance network segmentation, performance, and management beyond basic Layer 2 switching. Its switching fabric supports wire-speed throughput across all ports, ensuring low-latency forwarding for data, voice, and video traffic. The four SFP+ expansion slots accept 10GbE optical or DAC modules, offering flexible uplink options for high-bandwidth aggregation or fiber backbone connections.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on RJ-45 ports allows direct powering of compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, simplifying deployments and reducing cabling. The integrated power supply accepts 120-230V AC input and consumes a maximum of 59 watts, contributing to energy-efficient operation. Comprehensive management is enabled through CLI, Web GUI, and support for protocols like SNMP, LLDP, and sFlow for network visibility and control.

- Centralized policy management via Aruba Central (optional)
PoE-Powered Deployment Simplicity
PoE support on Gigabit Ethernet ports eliminates separate power supplies for connected devices, reducing installation time, cabling clutter, and points of failure in IP telephony and wireless deployments.
- Powers standards-compliant PoE/PoE+/UPoE devices
- Simplifies ceiling or wall-mounted AP and camera installs
- Integrates with power management and monitoring tools
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is designed for roles requiring reliable access-layer switching with growth capacity and advanced traffic handling. Its 24-port base with PoE makes it ideal for connecting end-user devices in office floors, classrooms, or retail spaces, while the 10Gb uplinks ensure smooth backhaul to distribution or core layers.
In server room or small data center contexts, it can serve as a top-of-rack switch for rack-mounted servers and storage, leveraging Layer 3 features for inter-VLAN routing and low-latency East-West traffic. For converged networks, PoE capabilities support unified infrastructure for voice, video, and data over a single cable plant.
Enterprise Access Layer
Deploy in wiring closets to connect desktops, IP phones, and wireless APs, with uplinks to aggregation switches. Layer 3 features enable local routing between departmental VLANs.
Mid-Size Business Core
Use as a compact core switch for smaller networks, routing between multiple VLANs and providing 10Gb uplinks to servers, storage, and internet gateways.
Physical Profile
The switch features a standard 1U rack-mountable chassis with a black finish, designed for installation in 19-inch equipment racks. Its compact depth of 11.20 inches allows fitting in shallow cabinets or enclosed racks. Front-panel layout includes all 24 RJ-45 ports, four SFP+ slots, management ports, and status LEDs for at-a-glance monitoring. The built-in power supply and quiet fan assembly support continuous operation in controlled office or data center environments.
