HPE Aruba 2930M 48-port Layer 3 managed switch with 8 Smart Rate multi-gig PoE ports, 1440W PoE budget, and 320 Gbps switching capacity.

The HPE Aruba Networking R0M67A is part of the 2930M Switch Series, a Layer 3 managed access switch designed for enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office deployments. It provides 48 total ports: 36 autosensing 10/100/1000 PoE Class 6 ports, 4 dual-personality combo 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE Class 6 or 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports, and 8 HPE Smart Rate 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T copper PoE ports, along with a 1-slot uplink module bay. Built on the Aruba ProVision ASIC, it delivers up to 320 Gbps switching capacity and 112 Mpps forwarding rate with low latency. The switch supports advanced Layer 3 routing (OSPF, RIP, static routing), robust QoS, IPv6, and Dynamic Segmentation, and integrates with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, AirWave, and Aruba Central for simplified, secure network management. Its high PoE budget of up to 1440W (with dual power supplies) makes it well suited for powering access points, IP phones, and cameras in modern digital workplaces.
