The Instant On Differentiators
Better Together
Aruba Instant On products work together to provide a seamless Wi-Fi experience. Wired and wireless voice traffic is prioritized with high QoS priority end-to-end for optimal voice performance.
Industry-leading support and warranty
Expert-level support and industry-leading limited lifetime warranty are also included, along with chat support for the life of the product.
Plug-and-play
The Aruba Instant On 1430 switches are easy-to-use unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switches ideal for small businesses and home offices looking for simple, reliable connectivity that’s configuration-free.
Fast wired performance
Connect devices quickly with these unmanaged Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switches that range in size from 5-port to 26-port models, with and without PoE, so can you install just what you need. Span longer distances to devices with SFP fiber uplinks on the 26-port model.
Plug and play simplicity
Unmanaged means this series requires zero configuration and no maintenance – it comes with fully automated functions like Quality of Service (QoS) that prioritizes time-sensitive voice and video data for a better user experience.
Quiet and energy efficient
All models are fan-less for silent operation and support Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) to save energy by using less power during idle times without compromising performance.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Quickly connect and power access points, surveillance cameras, and other IoT devices with 8-port and 16-port Class 4 PoE models that eliminate need for power outlets in hard-to-reach places.

Key Features
Gigabit Ethernet speeds - Supports half/full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on access
ports that doubles the throughput of every port.
Long distance fiber connectivity - 26-port model includes two 1G SFP fiber ports for uplinks and to support long distance connectivity using fiber transceivers, for a total of 28 Ethernet ports.
Simplified cabling - Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports using Auto MDI/MDI-X.
Ethernet Alliance PSE Class 4 PoE Certification - Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality is supported on two 1430 models that provide up to 30 W per port, which allows support of Class 4 PoE or IEEE 802.3at-capable devices such as video IP phones, wireless access points, as well as any 15.4 W IEEE 802.3af compliant end device, thereby eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling and circuits.
EAPoL frames forwarding - 802.1x EAP over LAN frames are forwarded through the switch so that clients can authenticate when the device gives connectivity between an authenticator and supplicants.
STP BPDU frames forwarding - The switch forwards the BPDU frames to make sure that Spanning Tree Protocol works correctly preventing loops in the topology.
Prioritize voice and video - Quality of Service provides priority of time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification.
Flow control - Provides a flow-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.
Prioritize voice and video - Provides a flow-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.
Jumbo frame support - Provides up to 9216 bytes frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) - Compliant with 802.3az standard requirements to save energy during periods of low data activity.
Fan-less operation - Requires less power to operate and enables quiet operation in acoustically sensitive environments.
Why Upgrade?
Managed switches give you the control of your network, allowing you to customize and monitor configuration settings, including controls that prioritize and segment network traffic. While automation tools help simplify configuration and management, when all you need is basic Ethernet connectivity and you don’t have the time or expertise to handle installs, an unmanaged switch is the right solution. The Aruba Instant On switching portfolio includes both smart-managed and unmanaged switches, so you can choose what’s best for you and your business, without compromising enterprise-grade reliability or support.
