Aruba 2930F 48G 4SFP+ Switch, Refurbished. The Aruba 2930F series are Layer 3 access switches designed for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office environments where unified wired and wireless management is required. These refurbished units deliver PoE+ power, 1GbE/10GbE uplinks, RIP and static routing, and integration with Aruba ClearPass and AirWave for consistent policy and network management. Built on the Aruba ProVision ASIC, the switch supports SDN-ready features, robust QoS and security controls while providing scalable performance at the network edge.

Advantages

The Aruba 2930F offers high-performance access with integrated PoE+ support and selectable 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, enabling connection of wireless access points, IP phones and cameras. It provides unified wired/wireless policy enforcement through ClearPass and AirWave, a basic Layer 3 feature set without additional software licensing, and optimized packet handling and buffering thanks to the ProVision ASIC. Security features include 802.1X, MAC and web authentication, ACLs, RADIUS/TACACS+ and port security.
