JL263-61001 - HPE Aruba 2930F 24G PoE+ 4SFP+ TAA Switch

HPE Aruba 2930F 24G PoE+ 4SFP+ TAA-compliant Layer 3 managed switch with 24 PoE+ ports, 4 SFP+ uplinks, 370W PoE budget, and VSF stacking for enterprise edge networks.

The JL263-61001 is the HPE service/spare part number corresponding to the HPE Aruba 2930F 24G PoE+ 4SFP+ TAA-compliant Switch (commercial SKU JL263A#ABA). This is a Layer 3 stackable access switch built on the Aruba ProVision ASIC, offering 24 autosensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ ports and 4 PHY-less SFP+ 1/10GbE uplink ports. It is designed for enterprises, branch offices, and SMBs needing secure, high-performance wired connectivity with integrated PoE+ for access points, cameras, and phones. The switch supports Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking, static/RIP/OSPF routing, robust QoS, ACLs, and management through Aruba Central, ClearPass, AirWave, and HPE IMC. Being TAA-compliant, it is well suited for U.S. federal government and public-sector procurement requirements. HPE has since recommended migration paths toward the Aruba CX 6200 series for newer deployments.
