User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have, and what is the total PoE budget?
The HPE 2930F switch includes 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), delivering up to 30W per port. The total PoE budget is 139W, allowing you to power multiple devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras simultaneously without overloading the switch.
What types of uplink options are available on this switch?
This switch features two SFP+ expansion slots for 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. These slots support SFP+ modules for fiber optic or direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, providing high-speed connectivity to core switches, servers, or network backbones. The uplinks are separate from the 12 PoE+ ports, ensuring dedicated bandwidth for aggregation.
Is this switch manageable, and what layer does it support?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 3 switch. Layer 3 support enables advanced routing capabilities like inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and dynamic routing protocols. Manageability includes features such as VLAN configuration, QoS, security policies, and monitoring through a web interface or command-line interface (CLI).
Can this switch be rack-mounted, and what are its dimensions?
The switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting with a 1U form factor. Its dimensions are 1.73 inches in height, 10 inches in width, and 10 inches in depth (43.94 mm H x 254 mm W x 254 mm D).
