Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the HPE 2930F series platform, this switch supports comprehensive Layer 3 static routing and RIP routing protocols, enabling scalable network segmentation and efficient inter-VLAN routing. It operates as a fully manageable switch, supporting a wide array of networking standards including IEEE 802.1Q for VLANs, IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation, and IEEE 802.1x for network access control.
The switching fabric is designed for wire-speed performance across all ports. It supports both twisted pair (10/100/1000BASE-T) and optical fiber (10GBASE-X) media types, providing deployment flexibility. The management capabilities allow for granular control over Quality of Service (QoS), security policies, and network monitoring, making it suitable for controlled IT environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This switch consolidates power, performance, and control into a single platform, reducing infrastructure complexity. The high PoE budget allows it to support numerous powered devices without requiring external injectors, simplifying cabling and deployment.
High-Density PoE+ Access
All 48 RJ-45 ports deliver up to 30W per port under the IEEE 802.3at standard, ideal for modern IP telephony, wireless, and surveillance deployments.
- 740W total PoE budget
- Standards-based 802.3af/at compliance
Scalable Uplink Connectivity
Four SFP+ slots provide 10 Gigabit uplink options, enabling high-speed connections to core switches or servers using either copper or fiber SFP+ transceivers.
- Flexible media choice
- Future-proof backbone links
Advanced Layer 3 Features
Supports static IP routing and RIPv1/v2, allowing the switch to perform inter-VLAN routing locally, which reduces latency and offloads traffic from core routers.
- Reduces network hierarchy
- Improves local traffic efficiency
Deployment / Use Cases
The HPE 2930F 48G PoE+ switch is ideally deployed as a wiring closet or access layer switch in mid-to-large-sized offices, schools, or retail environments. Its combination of PoE and high-speed uplinks makes it a fit for converged networks carrying data, voice, and video.
A primary use case is powering and connecting a dense deployment of IEEE 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points while providing 10G uplinks to the network core. It is equally effective in security installations, providing PoE to IP cameras and connecting back to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) over high-speed links. The Layer 3 capabilities also allow it to function in smaller core or collapsed core roles for branch offices.
Physical Profile
The switch features a standard 1U rack-mountable metal chassis with dimensions of 1.73" (H) x 17.42" (W) x 12.77" (D), designed for efficient use of rack space. Its weight of approximately 10.56 pounds ensures stable mounting. The built-in power supply and fans support continuous operation in typical data closet environments. Front-panel LEDs provide clear status indications for power, system, and port activity/link speed.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE power budget of this switch?
The HPE 2930F 48G PoE+ switch has a total PoE budget of 740 watts. This budget is allocated across all 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with each port capable of delivering the IEEE 802.3at standard of up to 30W per port. This is sufficient to power a large number of devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras simultaneously.
How many and what type of uplink ports does it have?
This switch includes four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. These are implemented as SFP+ slots, providing flexibility to use either copper or optical fiber SFP+ transceivers to connect to core switches, servers, or storage at high speed. They are separate from the 48 downlink PoE+ ports.
Is this a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
This is a Layer 3 managed switch. It supports static IP routing and Routing Information Protocol (RIP v1/v2), allowing it to perform inter-VLAN routing. This enables more efficient network design by routing traffic between VLANs directly at the access layer, reducing the load on core routers.
What is the form factor and how is it mounted?
The switch has a standard 1U rack-mountable form factor. Its dimensions are 1.73 inches high, 17.42 inches wide, and 12.77 inches deep. It includes mounting brackets for installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, making it suitable for data closets and server rooms.
