Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the Aruba 2930F series platform, this switch supports Layer 3 switching for enhanced routing and segmentation, enabling efficient traffic management across VLANs and subnets. It operates with Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) on the 48 copper ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X) on the SFP+ slots, accommodating both twisted pair and optical fiber media for flexible cabling options.
The switch is fully manageable via CLI, web interface, or network management software, offering features like QoS, ACLs, and SNMP for granular control. It does not include redundant power supply support but uses a single internal power source rated for consistent voltage delivery. The modular expansion slots are dedicated SFP+ with no shared SFP functionality, providing clear uplink capacity for future growth.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
The HPE Aruba 2930F switch includes 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which support PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus). This allows you to deliver both data and up to 30W of power per port to compatible devices like wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installations.
What are the uplink capabilities of this switch?
This switch features four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink slots, providing high-speed connectivity for backbone links to other switches, servers, or network core equipment. These slots support 10GBase-X technology for optical fiber or direct-attach copper cables, enabling scalable bandwidth to handle aggregated traffic from the 48 downstream ports.
Does this switch support Layer 3 switching?
Yes, the HPE Aruba 2930F is a Layer 3 managed switch. It supports routing between VLANs and IP subnets, allowing for more efficient traffic flow and network segmentation compared to Layer 2 switches. This includes features like static routing and dynamic routing protocols, making it suitable for complex network environments requiring advanced control.
Is this switch rack-mountable?
Yes, this switch is designed for rack mounting with a 1U form factor. It measures 1.73 inches in height, fitting standard 19-inch server racks, and includes mounting hardware for secure installation. The compact design helps organize cables and conserve space in IT closets or data centers.
