Overview
The HPE J9729AS Aruba 2920-48G-PoE+ is a scalable Layer 3 access switch designed for the enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office networks. It addresses the need for a flexible and powerful networking solution that can handle converged data, voice, and video traffic while simplifying deployment and management. This switch provides a secure and high-performance foundation for building unified wired and wireless networks. At its core, the 2920 series is powered by a robust ProVision ASIC, which delivers low latency and efficient packet buffering. This model offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with full PoE+ support, providing up to 370W of power for devices like access points, IP phones, and cameras. This capability simplifies infrastructure by combining power and data delivery over a single Ethernet cable, reducing overall cabling costs and deployment complexity. Engineered for scalability, the J9729AS features a 1U rack-mountable form factor and supports modular stacking of up to four units, enabling a pay-as-you-grow approach. It includes two module slots for optional 10GbE uplinks (SFP+ or 10GBASE-T), ensuring high-speed connectivity to the network core. Management is streamlined through tools like Aruba AirWave, Aruba Central, and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, providing comprehensive control and visibility.
