Product Features
Technical Overview
The Aruba 2930F switch operates as a full Layer 3 device, supporting advanced routing protocols and VLAN management for segmented, secure, and efficient network traffic flow. It features 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports that support both twisted pair copper cabling and, via the expansion slots, optical fiber connections for longer-distance uplinks.
Four dedicated SFP+ slots provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink capabilities, allowing for high-speed backbone connections to core switches or servers. These slots are non-shared, ensuring full bandwidth availability for each uplink. The switch supports media types including twisted pair for cost-effective deployments up to 100 meters and optical fiber for extended reach or noise-immune links.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
The HPE Aruba 2930F switch includes 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that all support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This allows you to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly through the Ethernet cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for separate power outlets.
What are the uplink capabilities of this switch?
This switch provides four dedicated SFP+ slots for uplink connections. These slots support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, enabling high-speed backbone links to core switches, routers, or servers. You can use SFP+ transceivers for either copper or optical fiber connections, offering flexibility for distance requirements and network topology.
Is this a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
The HPE Aruba 2930F is a Layer 3 managed switch. It supports advanced routing protocols, inter-VLAN routing, and policy-based routing, allowing for more sophisticated network segmentation, traffic management, and security compared to basic Layer 2 switches. This makes it suitable for environments requiring granular control over network traffic flow.
Can I mount this switch in a standard rack?
Yes, this switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 1 rack unit (1U) of space. Its dimensions are 1.73 inches high, 17.42 inches wide, and 11.98 inches deep, making it compatible with typical server racks. The rack-mountable form factor helps organize cables and conserve space in data centers or network closets.
Does this switch support stacking?
Yes, the switch includes a stack port that allows you to connect multiple Aruba 2930F switches together. Stacking simplifies management by treating multiple physical switches as a single logical unit, enabling centralized configuration, monitoring, and improved resiliency through cross-stack link aggregation.
What does TAA-compliant mean for this switch?
TAA-compliant indicates that this switch meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, meaning it is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. This compliance is essential for sales to U.S. federal government agencies and other entities that mandate TAA adherence in their procurement processes.
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.
