The Aruba 2530 Switch Series by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) provides a cost-effective solution for your enterprise branch office and SMB (Server Message Block) deployment. These switches provide the full Layer 2 support with all available features for advanced security, trunking, aggregation and traffic prioritization. Optionally you can select one of many different models. Some of them include PoE+ and optional 10GbE uplinks which will come in handy for the high bandwidth demanding access layer in enterprise deployments. This switch series provides full flexibility giving you the choice of choosing 8-, 24-, and 48-port models available with Gigabit or Fast Ethernet ports. On some 24- and 48- port models you will find four Gigabit or two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with either two small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) or four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots for fiber connectivity.

Aruba 2530 48G Switch J9775A
this model is a standard 48 port switch without the Power over Ethernet support. It provides 48 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports. Additionally it provides 4 fixed Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports together with a single dual-personality (RJ-45 or USB micro-B) serial console port. It offers 104 Gbps switching capacity and up to 77.3 Mpps of throughput.
Aruba 2530 24G Switch J9776A
With 24 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 and 4 fixed Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports this model will provide up to 56 Gbps switching capacity and up to 41.6 Mbps throughput. This model can also be found in an 8 port version with service name J9777A
Aruba 2530 48G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch J9853A
This model is a more advanced model compared to the previous ones. It offers up to 136 Gbps switching capacity and up to 101 Mbps throughput. It provides 48 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports and 2 SFP+ fixed 1000/10000 SFP+ ports. With the 10GB Ethernet capability this switch is an ideal switch for uplink deployment
Aruba 2530 24G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch J9854A
This model offers slightly lower capabilities and flexibility. It provides 24 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports with PoE+ support and 2 SFP+ fixed 1000/10000 SFP+ ports offering up to 88 Gbps switching capacity and up to 65.4 Mbps throughput
It is worth mentioning that every switch supports the Virtual stacking technology and you can mix and match different models. You can stack up to 16 different switches to operate as a single unit. When it comes to media support these models support wide range of optical transceivers and copper cables, enough to meet your requirements.

The Aruba 2530 Switch series provide advanced Quality of Service (QoS) solutions including flexible authentication which would allow you a greater policy-driven application security. In addition with the configuration of IEEE802.1p traffic prioritization you will have a real time classification of the traffic. You can configure up to eight priority levels to be mapped to either two or four traffic queues. You will also find an advanced Denial of Service protection including protection against dynamic DHCP and ARP attacks. This protection also works perfectly with IPv6 network architectures.
These cost-effective switch models provide silent operation due to their fanless construction (optional). They offer flexibility, wide range of port density and reliability. They are mainly deployed in branch office networks of big enterprises. Together with the ClearPass Policy Manager you can simplify implementation and management of network access, security, QoS, and other network policies. With the option of choosing 8-, 24-, and 48-port models available with Gigabit or Fast Ethernet ports as well as optional PoE+, and optional 10GbE uplinks, your network architecture will gain the much needed speed and stability.
