2930M Switch Series Data Sheet

DATA SHEET
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series is designed for customers
creating digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile
users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These
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 cloud-based Aruba Central, you can quickly set up
remote oces with little or no IT support.
A powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC delivers performance, robust
feature support, and value with exible programmability for
future applications. High performance modular stacking for
up to 10 switches provides pay as you grow scalability and
simplicity. The 2930M supports 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks,
Dual Modular Power Supplies, up to 1440 Watts of PoE+,
models with 24 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet,
robust QoS, RIP, Access OSPF routing, Dynamic Segmentation,
PIM, VRRP and IPv6 with no software licensing required.
The Aruba 2930M Switch Series provides a convenient and
cost-eective access switch solution that can be quickly set
up with Zero Touch Deployment. The switches include a
Limited Lifetime Warranty.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Software-dened networks
• Supports multiple programmatic interfaces, including REST
APIs and Openow 1.0 and 1.3, to enable automation of
network operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Unied Wired and Wireless
• ClearPass Policy Manager supports 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
• 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-
based local user role or download from ClearPass
ARUBA 2930M
SWITCH SERIES
• Dynamic Segmentation provides a secure tunnel that
transports network trac 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 trac to be tunneled to an Aruba
controller or switch locally
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
KEY FEATURES
• Aruba Layer 3 Switch with 10 chassis backplane
stacking, static, RIP and access OSPF routing,
Dynamic Segmentation, ACLs, SDN, and robust QoS
• Advanced security and network management
tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba
AirWave and Aruba Central
• Modular 10GbE or 40GbE uplinks and HPE Smart
Rate (IEEE 802.3bz), up to 1440W PoE+
• Models with 24 ports of HPE Smart Rate with
IEEE 802.3bz
• Ready for the software dened network with REST
APIs and OpenFlow support
• Simple deployment with Zero Touch Provisioning
