HPE Networking Instant On

HPE Networking Instant On 2930M 24 Smart Rate POE+ 1-Slot Switch R0M68A

SKU CH-17EN-KT1XS

Managed 24-port 1/2.5/5GBase-T PoE+ switch with 860 W budget and 320 Gbps switching capacity

  • 24 Smart Rate PoE+ ports deliver 1/2.5/5GBase-T connectivity and power with one cable
  • 860 W PoE budget supports dense deployments without extra injectors
  • Layer 3 routing with OSPF and RIP handles inter-VLAN traffic on the switch
  • 320 Gbps switching capacity and 112 Mpps throughput keep latency low at 3.1 µs
  • Stackable 1U rack-mount design provides 100 Gbps stacking bandwidth for scalable growth

24-port Smart Rate PoE+ switch

The HPE Aruba 2930M R0M68A is a managed Layer 3 switch with 24 ports supporting 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps speeds. Each port delivers PoE+ power for access points, cameras or phones. The unit is rack-mountable in a 1U enclosure and can be stacked for larger deployments.

860 W PoE budget and internal supply

An internal power supply feeds up to 860 W of PoE+ across all 24 ports. Measured latencies are 3.1 µs at 1 Gbps, 6.5 µs at 2.5 Gbps, 4.2 µs at 5 Gbps and 3.4 µs at 10 Gbps. Throughput reaches 112 Mpps with a 320 Gbps switching capacity and 100 Gbps stacking bandwidth.

Rack-mountable 1U build with stacking slot

The 17.4 in deep chassis fits standard racks and includes a single expansion slot for stacking modules. The MAC table holds 32768 entries and jumbo frames up to 9220 bytes are supported. IPv4 routing tables accommodate 2000 entries, IPv6 1000 entries, with OSPF, RIP, static and ECMP routing protocols available.

Questions about this item

How do I install the R0M68A in a standard rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the 1U chassis with the supplied brackets, connect the internal power supply, then enable PoE+ on each 1/2.5/5GBase-T port that needs power.

What maintenance will the R0M68A need after deployment?

Apply firmware updates through the management interface, clean the front-to-rear airflow path periodically, and monitor the 860 W PoE budget for any port that exceeds its allocation.

Which limit appears first when the R0M68A runs at full load for long periods?

The 860 W PoE+ budget is reached before the 320 Gbps switching capacity or the 112 Mpps throughput ceiling.
