JL259A: HPE Aruba 2930F 24G 4SFP – Switch – Layer 3 – Managed – 24 x 10/100/1000 + 4 x Gigabit SFP – Rack Mount

The JL259A is the non-PoE 24-port Aruba 2930F: 24 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports plus four SFP ports, and one dual-personality RJ-45 or USB micro-B console port. It carries no PoE, so it suits desktop, server-room and uplink-aggregation duty rather than powering phones or access points.

Throughput is up to 41.7 Mpps with 56 Gbps of switching capacity, latency is under 3.8 µs at 1 Gbps, the MAC table holds 32,768 entries and hardware routing covers 2,000 IPv4 and 1,000 IPv6 entries. The processor is a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 at 1016 MHz with 1 GB DDR3, 4 GB eMMC and a 12.38 MB packet buffer.

The switch is 1U, 17.42 x 7.88 x 1.73 in (44.25 x 20.02 x 4.39 cm) and weighs 5.31 lb (2.41 kg). It draws at most 29.3 W (19.5 W idle) from 100-127 or 200-240 VAC, gives off 100 BTU/hr, moves air side to side and produces 37.1 dB of sound pressure. Operating temperature is 0 to 45 C up to 5,000 ft and 0 to 40 C up to 10,000 ft.

Switches in this family join a VSF ring stack of up to eight members, and a Central-managed unit is ordered as JL259ACM in the United States and Canada. The 48-port version is the JL260A and the PoE+ 24-port version is the JL261A; the Aruba and ProCurve switches category has more.
