PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Aruba 2930F Switch Series is designed for customers
creating digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile
users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These
basic Layer 3 access switches are easy to deploy and manage
with advanced security and network management tools like
Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave. With
support from Aruba Central, you can quickly set up remote
branch sites with little or no IT support. A powerful Aruba
ProVision ASIC delivers performance and value with support
of the latest SDN apps with future proof programmability
for tomorrow’s applications. Stacking with Virtual Switching
Framework (VSF) provides simplicity and scalability. The
2930F supports built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, PoE+, Access
OSPF routing, Tunnel node, robust QoS, RIP routing, and IPv6
with no software licensing required.
The Aruba 2930F Switch Series provides a convenient and
cost-eective access switch solution that can be quickly set
up with Zero Touch Provisioning and built-in 10GbE uplinks.
The robust basic Layer 3 feature set includes a limited
lifetime warranty.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Software-dened networking
• OpenFlow supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specications
to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet
forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths
Unied Wired and Wireless
• Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager support Unied wired and
wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• Switch auto-conguration automatically congures switch for
dierent settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max. power, and
PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected
• Local user role denes 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 switch
conguration or ClearPass
• Per-port tunneled node provides a secured tunnel to
transport network trac on a per-port basis to an Aruba
Controller. Authentication and network policies will be
applied and enforced at the controller
ARUBA 2930F SWITCH SERIES
• HTTP redirect function supports HPE Intelligent Management
Center (IMC) bring your own device (BYOD) solution
• Static IP visibility allows ClearPass to do accounting for clients
with static IP address
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Trac prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) Allows real-time trac
classication into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
• Layer 4 prioritization enables 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 DiServ
• Rate limiting sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and
per-port, per-queue minimums
• Large buers Provide graceful congestion management
KEY FEATURES
• Aruba Basic Layer 3 switch series with VSF stacking,
static, Rip and Access OSPF Routing, ACLs, and
robust QoS
• Consistent wired/wireless experience with Aruba
AirWave and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• Convenient built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks and up
to 370 W PoE+
• Ready for innovative SDN applications with
OpenFlow support
• Simple deployment with Zero Touch Provisioning
and cloud-based Aruba Central support
