JW671A - HPE Aruba S1500-24P 24-Port PoE+ RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T Layer 2 Managed Mobility Access Switch with 4-Port SFP

24-port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 2/3 access switch with 4 SFP uplinks, designed for Aruba mobility-enabled wired/wireless networks.

The JW671A is the HPE Aruba Networking S1500-24P Mobility Access Switch, a fixed-configuration access layer switch built for Aruba's Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture. It provides 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ support, plus four fixed Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports (optics sold separately). Designed primarily as a Layer 2 switch with basic Layer 3 routing capability, it integrates tightly with Aruba Mobility Controllers to extend consistent, role-based access policies, authentication, and QoS across wired and wireless users. Its PoE+ budget supports simultaneous powering of access points, IP phones, and IP cameras, reducing cabling complexity. The switch features an integrated AC power supply, rack-mountable/wall-mountable design, and supports advanced protocols such as LACP and STP for network resiliency, making it suitable for enterprise campus and branch access deployments.
