Reliable Layer 2 access

This fully managed Layer 2 access switch series is ideal for enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses, and brand office networks.

Right size for your network

Right size for your network

Deploy the number of ports and PoE power that’s best for you and your budget with plug and play 8-, 24-, and 48-port Ethernet models with optional PoE.

Switch considerations
Simple deployment

Simple deployment

With Zero-Touch Provisioning, support from cloud-based Aruba Central, and convenient 1U fixed models, you can quickly set up remote offices with little or no IT support.

Management choice

Management choice

Innovative design supports cloud-based and on-premise management, CLI, and easy-to-use Web GUI with the same hardware, eliminating rip and replace of equipment as network management needs grow.

Secure access

Secure access

Protect your network and offer authentication flexibility with support of concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web or MAC authentication.

Reliable and secure access
