HPE Aruba Networking JL254A 2930F 48G 4SFP+ Switch

High-Performance Layer 3 Access for Modern Edge Networks

The HPE Aruba Networking 2930F 48G 4SFP+ Switch (JL254A) delivers enterprise-grade Layer 3 access with simple deployment and unified management. Built on Aruba’s ProVision ASIC, it provides low latency, robust QoS, and automation-ready interfaces to scale campus, SMB, and branch networks without extra software licenses. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) enables up to eight switches to operate as one for resilient, easy-to-manage stacks.

Key Benefits & Features

• Enterprise Layer 3: Supports static routing, RIP, and Access OSPF to segment and scale networks efficiently.
• High-speed uplinks: Four 1/10GbE SFP+ slots provide flexible fiber uplinks for aggregation or core connectivity.
• VSF stacking: Combine up to 8 members into a single logical device for simplified operations and failover resilience.
• Performance ASIC: ProVision architecture delivers low latency, deep buffers, and SDN optimizations for busy edges.
• Operations ready: Zero-Touch Provisioning, Aruba Central/AirWave support, and REST/OpenFlow APIs streamline rollouts and monitoring.

Ideal Use Cases

• Enterprise access layers needing reliable Layer 3 segmentation and 10G uplinks.
• Branch or retail sites consolidating multiple switches into a resilient VSF stack.
• Education and healthcare networks requiring simple, license-free advanced features.
• SMBs standardizing on Aruba Central or AirWave for unified wired/wireless management.
