Aruba Instant On 1830 48G 24p Class4 PoE Switch - JL815A

Management:

• Cloud-based management: Utilizes a cloud-hosted web interface and mobile app for easy network management with Instant On APs and switches.
• Simple local web GUI management: Intuitive Web GUI simplifies switch management, accommodating non-technical users. Supports up to five (5) HTTP and HTTPS sessions.
• Secure web-management sessions with HTTPS: Encrypts and secures management sessions through HTTPS, safeguarding sensitive information.
• Firmware update: Notifies users of the latest firmware and allows scheduled updates via the Instant On mobile app and cloud-based web portal.
• Configuration File Management: Enables backup, restoration, and application of configuration settings across the network.
• DHCP client mode: Facilitates plug-and-play operation by allowing direct connection to a network. Defaults to static address 192.168.1.1 in the absence of a DHCP server.
• Locator LED: Enables users to set the locator LED on a specific switch for easy identification within a rack.
• Comprehensive LED display: Provides status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation indicators per port.
• Management VLAN ID: Ensures secure management access for administrators within the specified VLAN.
• Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP): Enables automatic synchronization of date and time for accurate tracking of system events and schedules.

Quality of Service (QoS):

• Class of Service (CoS): Prioritizes time-sensitive packets (e.g., VoIP, video) based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification, enhancing throughput with four hardware queues.

Connectivity:

• Auto MDI/MDI-X: Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports.
• Auto-negotiating capability: Supports half/full-duplex auto-negotiation on every port, doubling throughput.
• 1G fiber connectivity: Provides 1G fiber connections for uplinks and longer-distance connections. SFP ports augment available copper Ethernet ports.
• Ethernet Alliance PSE Class 4 PoE Certification: Supports PoE functionality on specific models, delivering up to 30W per port.
• Ethernet Alliance PD Class 3 PoE Certification: Enables powering of connected devices via PoE.
• Auto-PoE power configuration: Automatically assigns required power to ports based on LLDP.
• PoE Scheduling: Allows scheduling of power supply to connected devices based on specific times.
• Port Scheduling: Permits configuration of schedules to enable/disable ports or PoE power delivery.

Switching:

• Flow control: Implements flow-throttling mechanism to prevent packet loss.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Supports 802.1D STP and 802.1w RSTP for redundancy and loop prevention.
• BPDU filtering: Drops BPDU packets when STP is globally enabled but disabled on specific ports.
• Loop protection: Detects loops in the network for switches without STP.
• IGMP v1, v2 snooping: Intelligently forwards IPv4 multicast traffic to requesting ports, enhancing network performance.
• Link aggregation: Groups multiple ports to form high-bandwidth connections using LACP.
• LLDP and LLDP-MED: Advertises and receives management information for easy mapping and automatic configuration.
• VLAN support: Segments the network for better administration, security, and multicast traffic management.
• Port mirroring: Allows simultaneous traffic monitoring on designated ports or VLANs.
• Auto recovery: Suspends ports in error conditions, supporting features like BPDU Guard, Storm Control, and Port Security.

Network Security:

• TPM-based security: Utilizes a Trusted Platform Module for secure cryptographic key generation and storage.
• Automatic denial-of-service protection: Manages high-volume traffic and prevents DoS attacks.
• Global Storm Control: Guards against flood conditions, preventing network degradation.

Performance and Efficiency:

• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Compliant with 802.3az standard to save energy during low data activity.
• Auto-port shut down: Saves power by shutting down inactive ports.
• Energy-efficient cooling: Operates fans at necessary speeds to reduce noise and power consumption.
• Fan-less operation: Ideal for silent operation environments.

Features Accessed Through Local Web-Management Interface:

• Quick start-up wizard: Enables automatic configuration of initial settings.
• Jumbo frame support: Enhances performance for large data transfers.
• User account management: Provides enhanced security with password strength checking and aging.
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Encrypts HTTP traffic for secure access.
• SCP and TFTP file transfer: Supports secure file transfer.
• Dual image support: Offers primary and secondary software images for backup during upgrades.
• SNMPv1, v2c (read only): Facilitates remote management via SNMP.

Diagnostics:

• Event logs: Provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution.
• Session logging: Displays active user sessions.
• Remote syslog: Supports redirection and storage of events to a remote syslog server.
• Cable diagnostic tool: Detects and reports potential cabling issues.
• Ping IPv4: Supports ICMP for sending ping requests.
• Support file: Includes summary information for switch configuration, statistics, and log messages.

Warranty, Service, and Support:

• Aruba Instant On Limited Lifetime Support: Provides 24X7 phone support for the first 90 days, chat support for the entire warranty period, and community support for the product’s life.
