Information Technology

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series is designed for customers creating digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. These Layer 3 access switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave. With support from Aruba Central, you can quickly set up remote branch sites with little or no IT support. A powerful Aruba ProVision ASIC delivers performance and value with support of the latest SDN apps with future proof programmability for tomorrow's applications. Stacking with Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) provides simplicity and scalability. The 2930F supports built-in 1GbE or 10GbE uplinks, PoE+, Access OSPF routing, Tunnel Node, robust QoS, RIP routing, and IPv6 with no software licensing required.

The Aruba 2930F Switch Series provides a convenient and costeffective access switch solution that can be quickly set up with Zero Touch Provisioning and built-in 10GbE uplinks. The robust Layer 3 feature set includes a limited lifetime warranty.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Software-defined networking ?

• OpenFlow supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specifications to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths

• Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager ?
• Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max. power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected ?
• User Role defines a set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switch-based local user role or download from ClearPass
• Tunnel Node provides a secure tunnel that transports network traffic on a per-port or per-user role basis to an Aruba Controller. In a per-user role Tunnel Node, users are authenticated by the ClearPass Policy Manager which directs traffic to be tunneled to an Aruba controller or switch locally
• HTTP redirect function supports HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) bring your own device (BYOD) solution ?
• Static IP visibility allows ClearPass to do accounting for clients with static IP address

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) Allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues ?
• Layer 4 prioritization enables prioritization based on TCP/ UDP port numbers ?
• Class of Service (CoS) sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ ?
• Rate limiting sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums ?
• Large buffers provide graceful congestion management

Aruba 8320 Switch Series

The past several decades in networking have been defined by static, closed networking solutions designed for the client-server era. The Aruba CX 8320 campus core and aggregation switch is a game-changing solution offering a flexible and innovative approach to dealing with the demands of the mobile, cloud and IoT era. The Aruba CX 8320 also serves as a top of rack (ToR) switch for data centers needing 10GbE connectivity to servers and 40GbE to the spine.

The CX 8320 provides industry-leading line rate 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+ and 10GBASE-T) and 40GbE connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. Together with the modular Aruba CX 8400 chassis and the Aruba CX 8325 series,, the CX 8320 rounds out Aruba's switching portfolio with an enterprise core and aggregation solution that ensures higher performance and higher uptime.
