FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has a 370W PoE budget, which can support multiple PoE+ (802.3at) and PoE++ (802.3bt) devices. For example, it could power approximately 24 PoE+ devices at 15.4W each, or fewer high-power devices like PTZ cameras or access points requiring up to 60W. The exact number depends on the power requirements of each connected device.
What are the uplink options on this switch?
This switch includes 4x10G SFP+ uplink slots. These support SFP+ transceivers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over fiber (e.g., 10GBase-SR, LR) or DAC cables. The uplinks are dedicated and not shared with the Gigabit ports, providing full 10G throughput for backbone connections to core switches or servers.
Is this switch Layer 2 or Layer 3?
This is a Layer 3 managed switch. It supports IP routing, static routing, RIP, OSPF, and VLAN routing, allowing it to perform inter-VLAN routing and act as a distribution switch in larger networks. Layer 3 capabilities enhance performance by reducing reliance on a core router for internal traffic.
Can this switch be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in a standard 19-inch rack. It includes rack ears for secure installation. It also supports cabinet mounting and surface mounting, providing flexibility for wiring closets, server rooms, or wall installations where rack space is limited.
What management interfaces are available?
The switch offers multiple management interfaces: a command-line interface (CLI) via console or SSH, a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and SNMP (v1, v2c, v3). It also supports sFlow for traffic monitoring, RMON for statistics, and integrates with Aruba Central for cloud-based management when licensed.
What type of cables are supported?
The Gigabit Ethernet ports support twisted pair cables (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a) up to 100 meters for 10/100/1000Base-T connections. The SFP+ slots support optical fiber cables (multimode or singlemode) via SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach copper (DAC) cables for short-range 10G connections, typically up to 7 meters for passive DACs.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is Yes, giving buyers a clearer picture of expected coverage after purchase.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity options include 370 W, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
