Aruba: security, reliability and simplicity

The Aruba 2530-24-POE+

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic Priority Management (IEEE 802.1p): classifies, in real time, traffic into eight priority levels assigned to two or four queues; uses Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP)
• Simplified QoS configuration: Port-based: prioritise traffic by specifying a port and priority level. VLAN-based: prioritise traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level.
• Class of Service (CoS ): sets an IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port and DiffServ
• Rate limiting: sets maximum rates per ingress port for all ingress traffic, or for broadcast, multicast or unknown destination traffic
• Layer 4 Hierarchy: enables prioritisation based on TCP/UDP port numbers

Management

• Management interface options: Web-based graphical user interface (GUI): User-friendly HTML-based GUI allows the switch to be configured from any Web browser. Command Line Interface (CLI): Robust command line interface enables advanced configuration and diagnostics. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3): Allows the switch to be administered using a variety of third-party network management applications
• Virtual Stack: Up to 16 switches can be managed with a single IP address
• sFlow (RFC 3176): SNMP and CLI-configured wire-speed traffic accounting and tracking using three encrypted end receivers
• IEEE 802.1AB LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
• Logging: provides local and remote event logging via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog; prevents log limiting and filtering to reduce the number of log events generated

Connectors

• IPv6: IPv6 Host: allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of IPv6 networks; Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6): provides connectivity for both protocols; provides a mechanism to transition from IPv4 to IPv6. MLD traffic monitoring: redirects IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from overwhelming the network;
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet: provides up to 15.4 W per port to power IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus: Provides up to 30 W per port for IEEE 802.3 PoE/PoE+ devices, such as IP video phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/tilt/tilt security cameras
• Automatic MDIX: automatically accommodates straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
• Pre-standard PoE support: detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN: provide support for 512 VLANs and 4094 VLAN IDs
• Jumbo packet support: accepts frames of up to 9220 bytes to improve performance for large data transfers
• 16,000 MAC address table: provides access to many Layer 2 devices
• GARP VLAN registration protocol: enables automatic learning and dynamic VLAN assignment
