Managed switch HP Aruba 2930M 24G PoE+ 1-slot

The HP Aruba 2930M 24G PoE+ (JL320A) is a managed Layer 3 access switch designed for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office networks. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE+ support and modular uplink and stacking options to scale performance and power. The switch supports static, RIP and Access OSPF routing, 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks, HPE Smart Rate multi‑gigabit for high‑speed access points and does not require additional software licensing.

Advantages

The Aruba 2930M delivers a balance of performance, security and simple management through Aruba ClearPass, AirWave and cloud‑based Aruba Central. It offers modular stacking up to 10 chassis, selectable queue configurations for optimized buffering, robust QoS, and internal PoE+ power up to 740W (scalable to 1440W). The switch includes an Aruba ProVision ASIC with OpenFlow support for SDN applications and integrated wired/wireless policy enforcement with ClearPass.

Suitable for

• Enterprise edge and campus access
• Small and medium business networks
• Branch office deployments
• Wireless access point aggregation with PoE+ power
• Environments needing unified wired and wireless policy management

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19‑inch rack and connect the Gigabit Ethernet ports to client devices and access points. Configure uplinks using the modular SFP+/QSFP+ ports for higher bandwidth aggregation as required. Use Aruba ClearPass or AirWave for on‑premise policy configuration and monitoring, or Aruba Central for cloud‑based management with Zero Touch Provisioning. Enable routing protocols (static, RIP, Access OSPF) and configure QoS and PoE budgets according to connected device requirements.

Recommendations

For deployments with multiple high‑power access points, plan power budgets and, if needed, add external or upgraded power supplies to reach higher PoE+ capacity. Use ClearPass for unified wired/wireless policy enforcement and enable modular stacking to simplify redundancy and scaling.
