PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Aruba 2530 Switch Series provides security, reliability,
and ease of use for enterprises, branch oces, and SMBs.
This series of fully managed switches delivers full Layer 2
capabilities with enhanced access security, ACLs, trac
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 Ecient Ethernet, ability
to disable LEDs and enable port low power mode. These
switches provide consistent wired/wireless user experience
with unied management tools such as ClearPass Policy
Manager and Airwave Network Management.
The Aruba 2530 Switch Series oers uplink exibility with either
four Gigabit or two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on some 24-
and 48-port models. The Gigabit 24- and 48-port models have
either two small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) or four small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for ber connectivity. The Fast
Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFPs and two RJ-45
Gigabit uplinks. The compact and fan-less 8-port switches oer
additional exibility with two dual-personality ports that can be
used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports. The PoE+
switch models are IEEE 802.3af- and IEEE 802.3at-compliant
with up to 30 W per port, making them suitable for voice, video,
or wireless deployments with PoE+.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Unied Wired and Wireless
• NEW ClearPass Policy Manager support unied wired and
wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• HTTP redirect function supports HPE Intelligent
Management Center (IMC) bring your own device
(BYOD) solution
• Switch auto-conguration automatically congures switch
for dierent settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power,
and PoE priority when Aruba AP is detected
• NEW User Role 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 (YA only)
ARUBA 2530 SWITCH SERIES
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Trac prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) allows real-time trac
classication with support for eight priority levels mapped
to either two or four queues, and uses weighted decit
round robin (WDRR) or strict priority
• Simplied quality of service (QoS) conguration
- Port-based prioritizes trac by specifying a port and
priority level
- VLAN-based prioritizes trac 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 DiServ
• Rate limiting establishes per-port ingress-enforced
maximums for all ingressed trac or for broadcast,
multicast, or unknown destination trac
• Layer 4 prioritization enables prioritization based on
TCP/UDP port numbers
• Flow control helps deliver reliable communication during
full-duplex operation
