Aruba JL321A Network Switch

Products and parts from Aruba.

The Aruba 2930M Switch Series is designed for customers creating smart digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These Layer 3 network switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central.

A powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC delivers performance, robust feature support, and value with flexible programmability for the latest applications. High performance modular stacking for up to 10 switches provides pay as you grow scalability and simplicity. The flexible 2930M supports wire speed 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks, redundant dual modular power supplies for up to 1440 Watts of PoE, and new models with industry standard IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 that provide up to 60W of PoE per port. HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet models paves the way for high speed APs and IoT devices by delivering fast connectivity and PoE power using existing campus cabling.

The feature rich 2930M supports a robust QoS, RIP, Access OSPF routing, PIM, VRRP, IPv6 and Dynamic Segmentation for unified and secure access.

The Aruba 2930M Switch Series provides a simple and powerful access layer solution that can be quickly set up at branch offices with little or no IT support using Zero Touch Deployment. The switches include a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

ENHANCED CAPABILITIES

Software-defined networks

• Supports multiple programmatic interfaces, including REST APIs and Openflow 1.0 and 1.3, to enable automation of network operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting

Unified Wired and Wireless Support

• Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected
• User role defines a set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switchbased local user role or download from ClearPass
• For improved network simplicity and security, Aruba Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces user, device and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless networks. Automated device profiling, rolebased access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike
• Dynamic Segmentation provides a secure tunnel that transports network traffic on a per-port or per-user role basis to an Aruba Controller. In a per-user role Tunnel Node, users are authenticated by the ClearPass Policy Manager which directs traffic to be tunneled to an Aruba controller or switch locally

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) for real-time classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
• Layer 4 prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
• Class of Service (CoS) 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 sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums
• Large buffers provide graceful congestion management
• Unknown Unicast Rate Limiting throttles unicast packets with unknown destination addresses and limits flooding on the VLAN
