HP Aruba 2530 24G PoE+ Switch J9773A

HP Aruba 2530 24G PoE+ Switch (J9773A)

Features and benefits

Unified Wired and Wireless • New ClearPass Policy Manager Support unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager • HTTP redirect function Supports HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) bring your own device (BYOD) solution • Switch auto-configuration Automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when Aruba AP is detected • New User Role 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 switch configuration or ClearPass (YA version software only)

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 

Management

New Zero-Touch ProVisioning (ZTP) Uses settings in DHCP to enable ZTP with Aruba AirWave Network Management • Choice of management interfaces –HTML-based easy-to-use Web GUI Allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser –Robust CLI Provides advanced configuration and diagnostics – Simple network management protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3) Allows the switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications • Virtual stacking Provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches • sFlow® (RFC 3176) Delivers wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring, configured by SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers • IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications • Logging Provides local and remote logging of events via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog; provides log throttling and log filtering to reduce the number of log events generated • Port mirroring Provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events • Find, fix, and inform Finds and fixes common network problems automatically, and then informs the administrator • Friendly port names Allows assignment of descriptive names to ports • Dual flash images Provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading • Multiple configuration files Are easily stored with a flash image • Front-panel LEDs –Locator LEDs Allows users to set the locator LED on a specific switch to turn on, blink, or turn off; and simplifies troubleshooting by making it easy to locate a particular switch within a rack of similar switches –Per-port LEDs Provides an at-a-glance view of the status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation –Power and fault LEDs Display issues, if any • HPE Comware CLI –Comware-compatible CLI Bridges the experience of HPE Comware CLI users who are using the HPE ProVision software CLI –Display and fundamental Comware CLI commands Are embedded in the switch CLI as native commands; display output is formatted as on Comware-based switches, and fundamental commands provide a Comware-familiar initial switch setup –Configuration Comware CLI commands When Comware commands are entered, CLI helps elicit to formulate the correct ProVision software CLI command • Download software via DHCP Adds the option to specify the location of switch software via DHCP • TR-069 support Enables zero-touch configuration for switches

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 version software 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
