he Aruba 2530 Switch Series provides security, reliability, and ease of use for enterprises, branch offices, and SMBs. This series of fully managed switches delivers full Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, ACLs, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 host support. Right size deployment is simple with choice of 8-, 24-, and 48-port models available with Gigabit or Fast Ethernet ports, optional PoE+, and optional 10GbE uplinks. The 2530 delivers power savings with fanless models, Energy Efficient Ethernet, ability to disable LEDs and enable port low power mode. These switches provide consistent wired/wireless user experience with unified management tools such as ClearPass Policy Manager and Airwave Network Management.
HPE Aruba J9783A Ethernet Switch Overview
The Aruba 2530 Switch Series provides cost-effective, reliable and secure access layer connectivity for enterprises, branch offices and small and midsize businesses.
These fully managed switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 host support. Right size deployment is available with a range of Gigabit and Fast Ethernet models including compact and fanless models which are ideal for use in quiet work spaces. PoE+ models deliver up 370W to power access points, IP phones and cameras.
The Aruba 2530 Switch Series is easy to deploy, use and manage using Aruba AirWave or Aruba Central. Aruba ClearPass offers Network Access Control and external captive portal support. The switches include a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
ENHANCED FEATURES
Wired and Wireless Support
Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected
Local 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 local switch configuration (YA releases only)
Quality of Service (QoS)
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) for real-time traffic classification. Support for eight priority levels mapped to either two or four queues, and uses weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority
Simplified quality of service (QoS) configuration
Port-based traffic prioritization by specifying a port and priority level
VLAN-based traffic prioritization by specifying a VLAN and priority level
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 establishes per-port ingress-enforced maximums for all traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic
Layer 4 prioritization enables priorities based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Flow control delivers reliable communication during full-duplex operation
Simplified Configuration and Management
Aruba Central cloud-based management platform offers a simple, secure and cost effective way to manage switches. Complies with RFC 7030 for encryption key enrollment
Zero-Touch-Provisioning (ZTP) simplifies installation of the switch infrastructure using DHCP-based process with AirWave
Flexible management - Supports both cloud-based Central and on-premise AirWave without ripping and replacing switching infrastructure
Choice of management interfaces
HTML-based easy-to-use Web GUI allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser
Robust CLI provides advanced configuration and diagnostics
Simple network management protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3) allows the switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications
Provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches individually
sFlow® (RFC 3176) delivers wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring, configured by SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers
IEEE 802.1AB Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
Provides local and remote logging of events via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog; provides log throttling and log filtering to reduce the number of log events generated
