Technology

The 2930F Switch leverages HPE Aruba Networking's Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) to virtualize up to eight physical switches into a single logical device. It supports advanced routing protocols like Access OSPF and RIP, along with comprehensive security features including RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL, and port security. The Aruba 300 SERIES also integrates with HPE Aruba Networking Central for cloud-based management and automation.

Working Principle

The switch operates at Layer 3, enabling IP routing and advanced traffic management. It uses a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM to handle high-throughput data forwarding. The built-in ProVision ASIC optimizes packet buffering and power consumption, while VSF technology allows multiple units to operate as a single stack, simplifying management and increasing redundancy.

Application & Usage
