J9562A HPE Aruba 2915 8G PoE Switch

The J9562A is the HPE Aruba 2915 8G PoE Switch, a fully managed switch with 8 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports that support IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet. Two additional dual-personality ports can each be used either as an RJ-45 10/100/1000 port or as an SFP slot, and an RJ-45 serial console port handles out-of-band management.

The switch provides 67 W of PoE power, runs from 100 to 240 V ac at 1.5 A through the external power adapter supplied with it, and draws 11 W at idle and a maximum of 86 W. Performance is 20 Gb/s of switching capacity and up to 14.8 million packets per second, with latency under 5.3 microseconds at 100Mb and under 2.7 microseconds at 1000Mb, and an 8000-entry MAC address table.

The Aruba 2915 Switch Series has a fanless design for quiet operation, and the compact housing mounts in a 19-inch rack, on a horizontal surface or on a wall. The unit measures 4.45 x 25.4 x 15.95 cm (1.75 x 10 x 6.28 in) and weighs 1.66 kg (3.66 lb) with its power adapter and power cord. Inside, a Freescale PowerPC 8313 processor at 333 MHz works with 32MB of flash, 128MB of DDR2 SDRAM and a 512KB packet buffer.

Static and RIP IPv4 routing, ACLs, sFlow, rate limiting and quality of service are part of the feature set, and management is available through a web GUI, a command-line interface and SNMPv2c or SNMPv3.
