48-port Layer 3 switch with Smart Rate PoE+

The HP Aruba 2930M is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch delivering 48 total network ports. It provides 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Smart Rate capability and eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. Four SFP expansion slots support optical fibre or twisted pair media for flexible uplink configurations.

Suited for managed access-layer deployments

This switch fits networks that require Layer 3 routing, stacking via a dedicated stack port, and redundant power supply support in a 1U chassis. It is not for buyers who need a purely Layer 2 device, environments that cannot supply rack-mounted power, or teams lacking experience with HCRP and SPP management protocols.

40 Smart Rate ports with 8 x 10G uplinks decide fit

The defining specification is the combination of 40 Smart Rate Gigabit ports and eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. That mix determines whether the switch matches the port density and uplink bandwidth required for the access layer design.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 40-port Smart Rate PoE+ switch generate when running all day?

The rack-mountable chassis measures 1.7" high, 17.4" wide and 12.8" deep and weighs 9.81 lb; redundant power supply support is built in for continuous operation.

What cables and modules must I already own to use the 8 x 10 Gigabit uplink ports?

Those ports accept 10GBase-T twisted-pair or 1000Base-X optics; SFP transceivers and compatible fibre or copper patch cords are required.

Can the 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports negotiate 10/100/1000Base-T with legacy devices I keep?

Yes, each of the 40 ports auto-negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps so older endpoints connect without configuration changes.
