Description
The HPE Aruba 2930 Switch Series is a reliable and scalable Layer 3 Lite managed switch, designed for enterprise edge, branch offices, and small to medium-sized business (SMB) networks. It delivers strong performance, security, and simplified management for modern network infrastructures.
Built on the ArubaOS-Switch platform, the 2930 series provides advanced Layer 2 switching with basic Layer 3 routing capabilities, making it ideal for access-layer deployments.
The switch offers:
- 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports
- Optional PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) support for IP phones, wireless access points, and CCTV cameras
- 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed connectivity
