Frequently asked questions about this product
How is the 370 W of PoE+ shared across 48 ports?
370 W shared by all 48 ports, with a maximum of 30 W per port under 802.3at. The budget fills up quickly: around thirty 12 W cameras use almost all of it. The number of ports is not the limit — the budget is.
What speed do this model's uplinks reach?
Four SFP slots at 1 Gbps — not 10G SFP+. With 48 access ports, it is therefore wise to aggregate several fibre links to avoid a bottleneck towards the network core.
Can this switch route between several subnets?
Yes, it is a Layer 3 model: static routing — 256 routes —, RIP v1, v2 and RIPng, and Access OSPF in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. VLAN segmentation therefore no longer means sending internal traffic all the way up to the router.
What are the OSPF limits on this model?
A single OSPF area and eight interfaces at most. This is access-level OSPF: enough to connect a building to a network core, not enough to carry the routed topology of an entire campus.
Can several 2930F switches be stacked and managed as one?
Yes, up to eight with front-panel VSF stacking: the stack is managed as a single chassis, in a ring topology that survives the loss of a member. A link aggregation group can even combine ports on several members.
How many VLANs can this switch carry at once?
2,000 active VLANs, with IDs taken from the full 802.1Q range of 4,094 values. RPVST+ calculates one spanning tree per VLAN, and private VLANs isolate workstations on the same segment.
How much buffer memory does this switch have to absorb traffic bursts?
12.38 MB, of which 4.5 MB is ingress and 7.875 MB egress, with a 32,768-address MAC table. Switching capacity reaches 104 Gbps at 77.4 Mpps — enough to handle an entire floor of workstations and access points.
What happens when an Aruba access point is plugged into a port?
The switch recognises it and applies the associated settings by itself: VLAN, class of service, maximum PoE power and PoE priority. On a Wi-Fi deployment of several dozen access points, that is that many data-entry errors avoided.
How can I regain control of this switch when the network is down?
Through out-of-band management: an RS-232C serial port or a micro-USB port opens the console. In-band, the choice remains wide — web interface, command line, Telnet, SNMP, RMON1, FTP and the Aruba Central, AirWave or HPE IMC platforms.
Is the switch new, and where can I find its datasheet?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document. The manufacturer's document details the 2930F series, its routing, its VSF stacking and its security features: datasheet (PDF).
