Overview
For companies, branch offices, and small businesses, the Aruba 2530 Switch Series combines security, reliability, and ease of use. With enhanced access security, ACLs, traffic prioritisation, sFlow, and IPv6 host compatibility, this series of fully controlled switches provides full Layer 2 capabilities. With options for 8-, 24-, and 48-port versions with Gigabit or Fast Ethernet ports, optional PoE+, and optional 10GbE uplinks, sizing is straightforward. With fanless models, Energy Efficient Ethernet, and the ability to disable LEDs and enable port low power mode, the 2530 saves energy. With unified management tools like ClearPass Policy Manager and Airwave Network Management, these switches give a consistent wired/wireless user experience.
Features and Benefits:
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) allows real-time traffic classification with 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 prioritizes traffic by specifying a port and priority level
- VLAN-based prioritizes traffic 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 ingressed traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic
- Layer 4 prioritization enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
- Flow control helps deliver reliable communication during full-duplex operation
Connectivity
- IPv6
- IPv6 host allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of an IPv6 network
- Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) supports connectivity for both protocols; provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6
- MLD snooping forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network
- IPv6 ACL/QoS supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic on Gigabit and 48 port 10/100 models
- Security RA Guard, DHCPv6 Protection, Dynamic IPv6 Lockdown (YA only)
- IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
- IEEE 802.3at PoE+ provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+-powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras (refer to the product specifications for the total PoE power availability)
- Auto-MDIX adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
- Pre-standard PoE support detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices (refer to the list of supported devices in the product FAQs, which can be accessed at www.hpe.com/networking/support)
- SFP slots provides fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, LX, LH, and BX with four SFP slots on all 24- and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet models. Fast Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFP slots and two RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks; 8-port models have two dual-personality ports supporting either SFP or RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks
- Dual-personality (RJ-45 or USB micro-B) serial console port gives easy access to switch CLI with front-of-switch location and the flexibility of using either an RJ-45 or USB micro-B serial console port
Layer 2 switching
- VLANs provides support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs
- Jumbo packet support supports up to 9,220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers; 8- and 24-port Fast Ethernet models automatically support up to 2,000-byte frames with no configuration needed
- 16K MAC address table provides access to many Layer 2 devices
- GARP VLAN Registration Protocol allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
- Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+) allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage; is compatible with PVST+
