Flexible Uplink Strategy
The four SFP+ ports provide 10Gb uplink flexibility, allowing connections to core switches or servers via cost-effective twisted pair or long-distance fiber optics, future-proofing your network backbone.
Enterprise-Grade Management
Full CLI and web-based management offer granular control over configuration, monitoring, and security. Features like sFlow for traffic monitoring and robust ACLs provide the visibility and control needed for secure, optimized networks.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is engineered for core-edge deployments in medium to large businesses, education campuses, and healthcare facilities. Its high PoE budget and port density make it particularly effective for unifying data and power delivery to endpoint devices across a floor or building.
Typical deployment scenarios include serving as the main access switch for an office floor, supporting a dense wireless deployment with multiple 802.11ac/ax access points, or acting as a distribution switch in a multi-building campus network. Its Layer 3 capabilities allow it to perform basic routing between user VLANs and a server VLAN, reducing latency and offloading traffic from core routers.
Unified Communications Hub
Ideal for VoIP deployments, powering IP phones and connecting to call managers and UC servers via high-speed uplinks.
Secure Access Layer
Deploy at the network edge with 802.1X authentication and ACLs to provide secure, policy-driven access for users and IoT devices.
Physical Profile
The switch features a standard 1U rack-mountable steel chassis with dimensions of 1.73" H x 17.42" W x 12.77" D. Its compact depth allows installation in shallow racks or network cabinets. The design includes front-to-back airflow with dual hot-swappable fan modules for consistent cooling in populated racks. Side-mounting brackets are included for secure installation in four-post racks, and the unit operates within a standard commercial temperature range.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE power budget of this switch?
The HPE 2930F switch has a total PoE budget of 740 watts. This budget is shared across all 48 PoE+ capable ports, with each port able to deliver the IEEE 802.3at standard of up to 30W per port. This substantial budget allows the switch to power numerous devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones simultaneously without requiring external power injectors.
How many and what type of uplink ports does it have?
This switch includes four SFP+ uplink ports. These are expansion slots that accept SFP+ transceivers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. You can use these ports for high-speed fiber optic links to your network core or for direct server connections using either fiber SFP+ modules or direct-attach copper cables, providing flexible backbone connectivity.
Is this a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
The HPE 2930F is a Layer 3 managed switch. This means it supports basic routing functions like static routing and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in addition to standard Layer 2 switching. This allows for inter-VLAN routing at the access layer, which can improve network performance and simplify design by reducing traffic to the core router for local subnet communication.
What is the form factor and how is it mounted?
The switch has a 1U rack-mountable form factor. It is designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks and includes the necessary mounting brackets. Its dimensions are 1.73 inches in height, 17.42 inches in width, and 12.77 inches in depth, making it suitable for most data center and wiring closet environments. The front-to-back cooling design is optimized for rack airflow.
What management options are available?
The switch offers multiple management interfaces including a web-based graphical interface (GUI), a full Command Line Interface (CLI) accessible via console port or SSH, and SNMP for integration with network management systems. This allows for comprehensive configuration of VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), security policies like ACLs and 802.1X, link aggregation, and monitoring of switch status and traffic.
What types of cables and media does this switch support?
The RJ-45 ports support standard twisted pair copper cabling (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a) for distances up to 100 meters. The SFP+ uplink ports support optical fiber connections using appropriate SFP+ transceivers for longer distances, or high-speed direct-attach copper cables for shorter runs. The switch auto-negotiates speed and duplex on copper ports and supports both half and full duplex operation.
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.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
