User Manual
FAQ
What types of ports does this switch have?
The Aruba Instant On 1930 switch provides 28 total network ports: 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports for standard twisted pair connections and four dedicated SFP+ expansion slots that support either 1G or 10G fiber optic transceivers. The SFP+ slots are not shared with the RJ45 ports, giving you full flexibility for uplinks or additional connections without sacrificing copper port availability.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
This specific model (JL682A#ABA) does not provide Power over Ethernet capabilities. The Aruba Instant On 1930 series includes both non-PoE and PoE+ models, with this version designed for environments where connected devices have their own power sources. If you require PoE to power devices like wireless access points or IP phones, consider the PoE+ variants within the same product family.
What management features does this switch offer?
This is a fully managed Layer 3 switch with cloud-based administration through the Aruba Instant On platform. Management features include VLAN support for network segmentation, IEEE 802.1X for port-based authentication, quality of service (QoS) controls, and monitoring capabilities. The cloud management is provided at no additional cost and can be accessed via web interface or mobile app for convenient setup and ongoing network oversight.
Can I use this switch with fiber optic connections?
Yes, the four SFP+ expansion slots support both 1G and 10G fiber optic transceivers. You can use these slots for fiber uplinks to other switches or network equipment, or for connecting to fiber-based network infrastructure. The switch supports 10GBase-X network technology for 10 Gigabit fiber connections. Note that SFP and SFP+ transceivers are sold separately and must be compatible with the switch.
Is this switch rack-mountable?
Yes, the switch features a standard rack-mountable form factor designed for 19-inch equipment racks. It occupies 1 rack unit (1U) of vertical space with dimensions of 1.70 inches (43.18 mm) in height, 17.40 inches (441.96 mm) in width, and 8.70 inches (220.98 mm) in depth.
