  • Switch TypeLayer 3 Switch
  • Performance for mobile campus with ProVision ASIC
  • Low latency and resilient stacking for virtualization
  • Line rate 40GbE backhaul capacity
  • HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports up to 10G
  • Comprehensive Layer 3 features with OpenFlow support

3810M 40G 8 Smart Rate PoE+ Switch

The Aruba 3810M is a Layer 3 switch built for mobile-first campus networks. It combines eight HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports with 40GbE uplinks and PoE+ power delivery. The ProVision ASIC provides low latency and resilient stacking for virtualised environments. This 1-slot chassis suits enterprises, SMBs and branch offices preparing for high-speed 802.11ac access points.

Suits campus cores needing multi-gigabit access

Network teams that require Smart Rate flexibility on existing cabling and line-rate 40GbE for aggregation will match this platform. OpenFlow support adds SDN readiness for programmable control planes. Buyers who need more than eight multi-gigabit ports or higher uplink speeds than 40GbE must evaluate other platforms. The single-slot form factor also limits modular expansion compared with larger chassis.

Eight HPE Smart Rate ports at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10GbE

These ports negotiate 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 gigabit Ethernet over existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling. That multi-gigabit capability is the decisive spec for connecting 802.11ac wave 2 access points without recabling. If the deployment only requires standard 1GbE endpoints, a simpler switch will suffice.

Questions about this item

What speeds can the 40G interfaces on the Aruba 3810M 40G 8 Smart Rate PoE+ 1-slot Switch actually deliver?

The switch provides line-rate 40GbE on its 40G interfaces for full backhaul capacity.

What rack space and slot does the Aruba 3810M 40G 8 Smart Rate PoE+ 1-slot Switch require?

It fits a standard rack and uses one module slot for expansion.

How is the Aruba 3810M 40G 8 Smart Rate PoE+ 1-slot Switch installed, and what step is often missed?

Mount the switch, insert the module into the single slot, connect Smart Rate ports for 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 GbE on existing cabling, then enable PoE+ and Layer 3 features in the OS; the step often missed is activating the Smart Rate port profiles for multi-gigabit operation.
