Aruba 2930F 24-Port PoE+ 4 SFP+ Managed Switch

The Aruba JL255A#ABA is a Layer 3 managed switch that gives you the ports, power, and uplink speed needed to anchor a modern edge network. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ and four SFP+ uplink slots, so wired clients, wireless access points, and upstream links can coexist on the same chassis without extra hardware.

With a PoE budget of 370 W, the switch can power a full slate of access points, IP phones, security cameras, and other network devices directly over the same copper cables that deliver data. This simplifies installation and keeps racks clear of additional power bricks, which is especially helpful in classrooms, open offices, and retail spaces where outlets are limited.

When your site outgrows a single unit, the built-in Virtual Switching Framework lets you stack as many as eight 2930F switches and manage them as one. Adding capacity becomes as easy as patching in another switch, so expansion does not force a redesign or new management workflow.

Dynamic Layer 3 routing with OSPF and RIP allows traffic to move between VLANs locally, reducing latency and easing pressure on core routers. A switching capacity of 128 Gbps keeps high-volume voice and video traffic flowing even during the busiest parts of the day.

For administrators, the switch integrates seamlessly with Aruba ClearPass for policy-based access control, Aruba AirWave for on-premises monitoring, and Aruba Central for cloud-managed oversight. These options bring deep visibility and consistent policy enforcement to the edge without complicated setup.

This combination of PoE power, stacking flexibility, and simplified management makes the JL255A#ABA a natural fit for small and midsize businesses, branch locations, healthcare clinics, and school networks. Deploy it at the edge to support an open office that sees constant device activity, or place it in a remote closet that aggregates security cameras and Wi-Fi access points.
