HPE Aruba 2930F JL253A 24-Port Gigabit L3 Managed Switch 4x SFP+ 10GbE Wty
HPE Aruba 2930F JL253A 24-Port Gigabit Layer 3 Switch — 10GbE SFP+ Uplinks
The HPE Aruba 2930F (JL253A) delivers 24 Gigabit ports and four SFP+ uplinks supporting 10GbE, with Layer 3 routing in a compact 1U chassis. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, it's an enterprise-class access switch for campus and branch networks that need fast uplinks and smart, secure management.
- 24 × Gigabit Ports: Full 10/100/1000BASE-T on every port for fast wired connectivity to PCs, servers, APs, and IP devices.
- 4 × SFP+ Uplinks (1G/10G): Four fixed SFP+ ports run at 1G or 10GbE, giving you high-speed fibre or DAC uplinks to the core so the access layer never bottlenecks.
- Layer 3 Routing: Static and RIP routing (IPv4/IPv6), ACLs, and robust QoS move traffic intelligently — not just switch it.
- VSF Stacking: Aruba Virtual Switching Framework lets you stack switches over the SFP+ ports and manage them as a single logical device.
- Enterprise Security: 802.1X, MAC auth, tunnelled-node, and Aruba ClearPass integration deliver role-based access control at the edge.
- Modern Management: Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, REST API, Aruba NetEdit, and Aruba Central cloud with Zero-Touch Provisioning.
Performance in Use
The 2930F 24G 4SFP+ sits at the sweet spot of the enterprise access layer. Its 24 Gigabit ports feed desktops, servers, wireless access points, and IP devices, while the four SFP+ uplinks give you 10-Gigabit headroom back to the core or aggregation layer — so a busy floor of users pulling from file servers or the cloud never saturates the uplink. Because those SFP+ ports auto-negotiate 1G or 10G, you can start on Gigabit fibre today and move to 10GbE later without changing hardware.
Unlike a plain Layer 2 switch, the 2930F routes. Static and RIP routing with ACLs let you segment departments or sites into their own subnets and control traffic between them directly on the switch, reducing load on upstream routers. Combined with 802.1Q VLANs and IEEE 802.1p QoS, it keeps voice and video prioritised and traffic cleanly separated — ideal for converged networks carrying data, VoIP, and surveillance together.
Operationally, the 2930F is built for lean IT teams. Stack several units with Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) and manage them as one; provision new switches hands-free with Zero-Touch Provisioning; and monitor the whole estate from Aruba Central in the cloud or Aruba NetEdit on-prem. Aruba ClearPass adds policy-driven, role-based security so the right users and devices get the right access automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the SFP+ ports support 10GbE?
Yes. The four SFP+ uplink ports run at 1G or 10G (10GbE), so you can use Gigabit fibre now and move to 10-Gigabit uplinks later with the same hardware.
Does this switch do Layer 3 routing?
Yes. The 2930F is a Layer 3 managed switch supporting static and RIP routing (IPv4/IPv6) with ACLs and QoS — enough to route between VLANs and subnets on the switch itself.
Does it provide PoE?
No — the JL253A is the non-PoE model. If you need to power phones, cameras, or access points over the network cable, choose a 2930F PoE+ model (e.g. JL255A) instead.
Can I stack multiple units?
Yes. The 2930F supports Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF), letting you stack switches over the SFP+ ports and manage them as a single logical device.
How is it managed?
Through a Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, and REST API, plus Aruba NetEdit and cloud-based Aruba Central with Zero-Touch Provisioning for hands-free deployment.
What condition will I receive it in?
The switch has been professionally cleaned, tested, and graded by Reboot IT technicians in Melbourne. Grade A (Excellent) shows minimal marks; Grade B (Good) shows light wear. All ports are verified operational before dispatch.
What are the shipping options?
Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. This switch is a bulky item, so freight rates apply.
12-Month Warranty & Reboot IT Trust
Every HPE Aruba 2930F (JL253A) switch sold by Reboot IT is fully tested before dispatch and backed by a 12-month warranty covering hardware defects and port failures. Our Melbourne-based team has been refurbishing IT equipment since 2001 and stands behind every unit we sell — a straightforward repair or replacement if anything goes wrong.
