- Stack two Aruba 2930 switches with the JL325A module
- Two stacking ports expand uplink capacity for data networking
- Designed specifically for HPE Aruba 2930 Series compatibility
- WEEE and RoHS certified for environmental compliance
- Hot-swap installation reduces downtime during network upgrades
Purpose and Fit
The HPE JL325A Aruba 2930 2 Port Stacking Module adds two dedicated stacking ports to compatible Aruba 2930 Series switches. It is designed for network administrators who need to manage multiple physical switches as a single logical unit. This module suits environments that require simplified management and increased port density without using standard uplink ports for inter-switch links.
Upgrade Context
The module replaces the need to use front-panel SFP or SFP+ ports for switch-to-switch stacking connections. The jump is worthwhile when you want to preserve all uplink ports for server or storage traffic while gaining a resilient stacking backbone. It is not for buyers who need stacking on non-2930 platforms or who require more than two stacking links per switch.
Installation Notes
The module installs into the rear expansion slot of a supported Aruba 2930 Series switch and is hot-pluggable, so the switch stays online during installation. Common issues include inserting the module into an incompatible switch model or forgetting to enable stacking in the switch operating system after the hardware is seated. Always verify the switch model matches the compatibility list before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the JL325A fit directly into the rear expansion bay of an Aruba 2930 switch?
The module installs into the rear expansion slot of compatible Aruba 2930 series switches and is secured with captive screws.
What is the common mistake when inserting the two stacking cables into the JL325A ports?
Cables must be fully latched into both ports; a partial seat will show link lights but fail to pass stacking traffic.
When should the JL325A be replaced if the stacking links become unstable?
Replace the module if both ports show persistent CRC errors or link flaps after verified good cables and firmware updates.
