The Aruba 2530-8 Switch is an 8 port Fast Ethernet fully managed L2 edge switch that delivers cost-effective, reliable, protected and easy-to-use connectivity to business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Fast Ethernet switches deliver full L2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritisation, and IPv6 host support.
The compact and fanless Aruba 2530-8 offers additional flexibility with two dual-personality ports that can be used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports
The switch is easy to use, deploy, and manage via the SNMP, CLI, and Web GUI. It offers flexible wall, table, and rack mounting options; quiet operation with fan-less and variable-speed fan models; and improved power savings with features such as IEEE 802.3az energy-efficient Ethernet. And it includes Limited Lifetime Warranty 2.0 with 3 years 24x7 phone support and includes all software releases.

Traffic prioritisation (IEEE 802.1p)
It allows real-time traffic classification with support for eight priority levels mapped to either the queues, it uses weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP).
Simplified QoS configuration
It prioritizes traffic by specifying a port and priority level. VLAN-based prioritises traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level.
Class of Service (CoS)
It sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ.
Rate limiting
It sets per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic.
Layer 4 prioritisation
It enables prioritisation based on TCP/UDP port numbers.
Command-line interface (CLI)
It provides advanced configuration and diagnostics through a robust CLI. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3) allows a switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications.
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
It automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications.
IPv6 host
It allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of an IPv6 network. Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) supports connectivity for both protocols and provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6.
MLD snooping
It forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network.
Auto-MDIX
It adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports.
16K MAC address table
It provides access to many Layer 2 devices.
GARP VLAN registration protocol
It allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs.
