Aruba J9729A 48x RJ-45 1G 4x SFP 1G Power over Ethernet Switch

Aruba 2920 Switch Series provides security, scalability, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office networks. These energy efficient basic Layer 3 switches are easy to deploy and manage with advanced security and network management tools like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave and cloudbased Aruba Central. The 2920 supports modular stacking (4 chassis), redundant power, 10GbE, RIP and Access OSPF routing, Tunneled node, PoE+, ACLs, sFlow, robust QoS and IPv6. It is optimized for Software-defined Networking (SDN) with OpenFlow support. This J9729A has 48 x 10/100/1000 ports including four that are combo dual purpose shared with SFP ports for fiber connectivity. The model supports PoE and PoE+ Power over Ethernet with a power budget of 370 Watts. Units also each have two available port module slots, a stacking module slot, and an available redundant power supply slot. This device is a superb choice for :

• Enterprise Access Layer: It is perfectly suited for the access layer of an enterprise network. Its 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide a high density of connections for user devices, and the PoE+ support simplifies the deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, and other powered endpoints.
• Small to Medium Business (SMB) Core Switch: In a smaller network, it can function as the core switch. The Layer 3 routing capabilities allow it to handle inter-VLAN routing, and the option for 10G uplinks (via a separate module) provides a fast connection to servers and storage.
• Building a Resilient and Scalable Network: The modular stacking capability allows you to combine up to four units into a single logical switch. This not only simplifies management but also provides redundancy, as traffic can be rerouted if one switch in the stack fails.
• Voice and Video Deployment: With its substantial PoE+ budget, the switch is an excellent choice for networks that rely heavily on VoIP phones and IP surveillance cameras, ensuring these devices receive a consistent power supply directly over the network cable.
• Branch Office Connectivity: For branch offices or remote sites, the switch offers enterprise-grade features and reliability in a compact and cost-effective package, providing secure and scalable connectivity back to a central office.
