The Aruba Twin Phantoms of Connectivity

The HPE Aruba Twin Phantoms of Connectivity

Products: J9735A + JL325A

Your growing business has multiple Aruba 2930M switches, but they're running as separate islands. Managing each switch individually means logging into multiple IP addresses, configuring VLANs separately, and hoping you didn't miss anything. One misconfiguration on one switch breaks connectivity. You need your switches to work together as one unified system.

This Aruba stacking bundle unifies your infrastructure. The JL325A stacking module slots into your Aruba 2930M switches, adding the hardware capability to stack them together. The J9735A stacking cable physically connects your switches at 40 Gbps per port. Now, your two or three physical switches operate as a single logical unit with a single IP address and a single management interface. Configure VLANs once, and they propagate across the entire stack. Your spanning tree topology simplifies dramatically.

Failover between switches happens automatically with no manual intervention. When you add a fourth switch next quarter, just add another module and cable. Your network capacity scales linearly while management complexity stays flat. This is how enterprise networks maintain consistency as they grow without drowning IT in administrative overhead.
