(R0M68A) Switch “Aruba” 2930M 24(5G) PoE

ARUBA 2930M SWITCH SERIES (R0M68A)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Aruba 2930M (R0M68A) Switch Series is designed for customers creating smart digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These Layer 3 network switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave and cloud-based Aruba Central.

A powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC delivers performance, robust feature support, and value with flexible programmability for the latest applications. High performance modular stacking for up to 10 switches provides pay as you grow scalability and simplicity. The flexible R0M68A supports wire speed 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks, redundant dual modular power supplies for up to 1440 Watts of PoE, and new models with industry standard IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 that provide up to 60W of PoE per port. HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet models paves the way for high speed APs and IoT devices by delivering fast connectivity and PoE power using existing campus cabling.

The feature rich 2930M supports a robust QoS, RIP, Access OSPF routing, PIM, VRRP, IPv6 and Dynamic Segmentation for unified and secure access.

The Aruba R0M68A Switch Series provides a simple and powerful access layer solution that can be quickly set up at branch offices with little or no IT support using Zero Touch Deployment. The switches include a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

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 via Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and Aruba Central
• Modular 10GbE or 40GbE uplinks and HPE Smart Rate (IEEE 802.3bz), with up to 1440W PoE
• Models with 24 ports of HPE Smart Rate with IEEE 802.3bz
• Up to 60W PoE per port (IEEE 802.3bt Class 6) for high power devices
• Software defined ready with REST APIs and OpenFlow support
• Simple deployment with Zero Touch Provisioning

Software-defined networks

Supports multiple programmatic interfaces, including REST APIs and Openflow 1.0 and 1.3, to enable automation of network operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Unified Wired and Wireless Support

Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.

The R0M68A auto-configuration automatically configures switch settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected.

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 switchbased local user role or download from ClearPass.

For improved network simplicity and security, Aruba Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces user, device and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless networks. Automated device profiling, rolebased access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike

Dynamic Segmentation provides a secure tunnel that transports network traffic 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 traffic to be tunneled to an Aruba controller or switch locally.
