FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
All 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), delivering up to 30W per port. The total PoE budget is 740W, allowing the switch to power multiple devices like wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras simultaneously without external power sources.
What is the purpose of the SFP+ slots on this switch?
The four SFP+ slots provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink connections for high-speed aggregation to core switches, servers, or storage networks. They support both copper and optical fiber SFP+ modules, enabling longer-distance fiber runs and flexible backbone connectivity in enterprise environments.
Can this switch be stacked with other Aruba switches?
Yes, this switch includes a dedicated stack port that allows it to be combined with other compatible Aruba switches into a single logical stack. Stacking simplifies management, increases redundancy, and enables unified configuration across multiple units, making network expansion more efficient.
What does Layer 3 support mean for this switch?
Layer 3 support means the switch can perform IP routing between VLANs, implement access control lists (ACLs), and support dynamic routing protocols like OSPF. This enables advanced network segmentation, improved traffic management, and better performance in medium to large enterprise networks compared to Layer 2-only switches.
Is this switch suitable for rack mounting?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19-inch cabinets, with dimensions of 1.73" height, 17.42" width, and 12.76" depth. It also supports desktop mounting for flexible deployment in wiring closets or small offices where rack space is limited.
What is TAA compliance and why is it important?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this switch meets U.S. government requirements for procurement, ensuring it is manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries. This is important for federal, state, and educational institutions that must source TAA-compliant products for secure and regulated supply chains.
