The Aruba JL260A is a Layer 3 access switch that delivers the performance and flexibility most small businesses, branch offices, and enterprise edge deployments need, without the burden of additional licensing. It belongs to the Aruba 2930F family, so it slots neatly into existing Aruba environments and supports future growth.
On the front panel you will find 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ 45 ports ready for desktops, phones, wireless access points, and cameras. Four SFP slots sit alongside them and accept fiber transceivers for high speed uplinks to your aggregation layer or neighboring buildings. This mix of copper and fiber options means you can scale your network outward or upward with minimal re-cabling.
A switching capacity of 104 Gbps and forwarding throughput up to 77.4 million packets per second keep traffic moving smoothly even during peak usage. Under the hood, an ARM Cortex A9 processor with two cores running at 1.016 GHz is paired with 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and 4 GB of flash memory, giving the switch enough horsepower to handle advanced features while responding quickly to management commands.
When your network outgrows a single chassis, Virtual Switching Framework support lets multiple 2930F units operate as one logical switch. This reduces complexity and offers redundancy without the cost of a chassis-based system. Built-in Layer 3 routing, including RIP and OSPF, allows the switch to handle inter-VLAN traffic internally, freeing up your router for external connectivity.
Administrators can choose the management method that best fits their workflow: a familiar command line interface for script driven tasks, a browser based GUI for at a glance visibility, or Aruba Central for cloud based monitoring and control across sites. An 80 PLUS Silver rated internal power supply keeps energy consumption manageable and helps lower operating costs.
The switch installs in a standard 1U rack space and weighs only 6.83 pounds, making it easy to mount in a wiring closet, classroom rack, or small data center. Whether you are rolling out new VoIP phones, extending Wi-Fi coverage, or segmenting traffic across multiple locations, the Aruba JL260A provides reliable throughput, simple scaling, and the management tools you need to keep the network running smoothly.
