User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The Aruba Instant On 1930 switch has a total PoE budget of 370 watts, distributed across all 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards, allowing it to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but the switch can typically support multiple PoE+ devices drawing up to 30 watts each.
What are the SFP+ uplink ports used for?
The four SFP+ uplink ports provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for high-speed network expansion. You can use them to connect to other switches, servers, or network storage using compatible SFP+ transceivers for optical fiber or direct-attach copper cables. These uplinks help avoid bottlenecks in aggregated traffic and future-proof your network for increased bandwidth demands.
Is this switch fully managed or unmanaged?
This is a smart managed switch, offering a middle ground between unmanaged and fully managed devices. It provides web-based management for essential features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), port monitoring, and basic security settings, without the complexity of command-line interfaces or advanced protocols.
