Features
High-Performance Layer 3 Access Switches
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series provides performance, security, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office networks. Optimized for the digital workplace with unified management tools such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba Airwave and Aruba Central. Provides optimal configuration automatically when connected to Aruba access points for PoE priority, VLAN configuration, and rogue AP containment.
Pay as you grow modular stacking (10 chassis) and modular 10GbE (SFP+) and 40GbE (QSFP+) uplinks. HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet support for high speed APs over existing cabling and upgradeable power supplies allow your network to quickly scale when more PoE+ is needed. Robust Layer 3 feature set includes Access OSPF, static and RIP routing, ACLs, Tunnel Node, sFlow, IPv6 with no software licensing required. Designed with a power ProVision ASIC and support for OpenFlow, the Aruba 2930M is ready to take advantage of SDN applications such as HPE Network Visualizer, Optimizer, and Protector Software products.
Performance and Power at the Edge
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series is designed with a powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC, to enable the mobile campus with SDN optimizations, low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. Increase performance with selectable queue configurations and associated memory buffering that meets your specific network application requirements. Plug and play with up to 10 chassis stacking allowing automated failover enhances network resiliency and RPS support delivers power redundancy. Supports up to 740W of internal PoE+ power for wireless access points, cameras and phones and can easily scale to 1440W.
Security and Quality of Service You Can Rely On
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series includes security and quality of services (QoS) features to build a network that meets ever-changing corporate policies and compliances while protecting your data from both inside and outside attacks. Flexible authentication options include standards based security protocols such as 802.1X, MAC and Web Authentication, to enhance security and policy-driven application authentication. Powerful multilevel-access security controls include source-port filtering, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL, port security, and MAC address lockout. Tunneled Node to transport network traffic on a per-port basis to the Aruba controller delivering authentication and network policies applied and enforced at the controller.
Simplify with Integrated Wired/Wireless Management
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series supports Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for unified and consistent policy between wired and wireless users and simplifies implementation and management of guest login, user onboarding, network access, security, QoS, and other network policies.
Aruba Airwave Network Management software provides an on-premise network management platform for wired and wireless network devices. Cloud-based management with Zero Touch Provisioning supported by Aruba Central. RMON and sFlow provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms and events. Out-of-band Ethernet management port keeps management traffic segmented from your network data traffic.
