Aruba Networking 2930F 24G PoE+ 4SFP Switch

The Aruba JL261A#ABA is a Gigabit Ethernet switch from the 2930F series that combines twenty-four PoE+ access ports with four SFP uplink slots. It gives small and midsize businesses a straightforward way to connect and power IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other devices through a single cable.

The PoE+ budget of 370 watts removes the need for separate power supplies or injectors. For example, a branch office can mount ceiling access points, place phones on every desk, and run door cameras while relying only on the switch for power.

A switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a forwarding rate that reaches 41.7 million packets per second keep traffic moving when multiple users are streaming video, making calls, or accessing cloud applications. An ARM Cortex A9 processor with two cores and 1 GB of DDR3 memory maintains this performance while supporting advanced services.

Layer 3 functions let the switch route traffic between VLANs, so local communication stays local and the core router remains free for external workloads. Security options such as 802.1X authentication, MAC address lockout, and captive web login help decide who and what can join the network.

Daily administration is simple. Use the web interface, a familiar command line, or Aruba Central and AirWave for centralized management. The unit installs in a standard 1U rack and arrives with a limited lifetime warranty, giving you a dependable network foundation that can grow with your business.
