HP J9772AHP Aruba 2530-48G-PoE+ J9772A 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch 4x SFP 382W Wty

HP Aruba 2530-48G-PoE+ (J9772A) Managed Gigabit Switch — Layer 2 Access for Enterprise & SMB

The HP Aruba 2530-48G-PoE+ (J9772A) delivers 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 382W power budget, plus four SFP uplinks in a compact 1U chassis. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, it's ideal for powering VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras across enterprise edge and branch-office networks.

• 48 × Gigabit PoE+ Ports: IEEE 802.3at support up to 30W per port, with a 382W total budget — enough to power a full floor of phones and access points.
• 4 × SFP Gigabit Uplinks: Fibre or copper uplinks to core switches and routers for flexible, high-speed backbone connections.
• Full Layer 2 Management: 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1X / MAC / Web authentication, ACLs, and QoS with priority queues for granular traffic control.
• Advanced Security: DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Protection, and Dynamic IP Lockdown defend against common Layer 2 attacks.
• Flexible Management: Web GUI, CLI (console or micro-USB), and SNMP v1/v2c/v3, plus HP IMC integration for enterprise-wide visibility.
• Energy-Efficient Design: IEEE 802.3az EEE, port scheduling, and LED disable reduce power draw without sacrificing performance.

Performance in Use

In a busy office or campus, the 2530-48G-PoE+ excels as an access-layer switch. Connecting up to 48 IP devices — VoIP handsets, wireless access points, or surveillance cameras — while delivering both data and power over a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable simplifies cabling and cuts installation cost. The 382W PoE budget comfortably supports a mixed deployment, and the four SFP uplinks provide clean aggregation paths back to the core.

The Layer 2 feature set covers the essentials for mid-size deployments: segment traffic with 802.1Q VLANs, enforce per-port security with 802.1X authentication, and prioritise real-time traffic such as VoIP using IEEE 802.1p QoS. DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Protection keep the network resilient against common Layer 2 threats, while built-in sFlow and RMON deliver the visibility teams need without extra licensing.

Management flexibility is a standout. Whether your team prefers a Web GUI for day-to-day moves and adds, a CLI for scripted configuration, or SNMP for integration with a network management system, the 2530-48G covers all three. HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) extends this further with end-to-end topology views, compliance reporting, and policy management across the whole stack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this switch support PoE+ on all 48 ports at once?

All 48 ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port), drawing from a shared 382W budget. This is more than sufficient for typical mixed deployments of phones, access points, and cameras.

What SFP modules are compatible with the uplinks?

The four SFP uplink ports accept standard Gigabit SFP modules (mini-GBIC), including HP-branded and many third-party 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T transceivers. HP-compatible modules are recommended for guaranteed compatibility.

Can I manage the switch remotely?

Yes. It supports Web GUI, CLI (console port or micro-USB), and SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and integrates with HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for centralised multi-switch management.

Does it support 802.1X port authentication?

Yes. The switch supports 802.1X, MAC-based, and Web authentication, plus DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Protection, and Dynamic IP Lockdown for layered access-edge security.

What condition will I receive the switch in?

The switch has been professionally cleaned, tested, and graded by Reboot IT technicians in Melbourne. Grade A (Excellent) shows minimal marks; Grade B (Good) shows light wear. All ports are verified operational before dispatch.

What are the shipping options?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. This switch is a bulky item, so freight rates apply.
