Aruba 2530 8 PoE+ Switch

VLANs — provides support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs

- Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) — allows real-time traffic classification with support for eight priority levels mapped to either two or four queues uses weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP)
- Simplified QoS configuration
    - Port-based — prioritizes traffic by specifying a port and priority level
    - VLAN-based — prioritizes traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level

- Class of Service (CoS) — sets the 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 per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic
- Layer 4 prioritization — enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
- Flow control — helps deliver reliable communication during full-duplex operation

- Access control lists (ACLs) — accommodates IPv4/IPv6 port and VLAN-based ACLs (IPv6 ACL is supported only on Gigabit Ethernet and 48-port models)
- Source-port filtering — allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
- RADIUS/TACACS+ — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server 
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) — encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch 
- Port security — allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
- MAC address lockout — prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network
- Secure shell (SSHv2 client and server) — encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote CLI access over IP networks
- Secure shell — encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote CLI access over IP networks
- STP BPDU port protection — blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
- STP root guard — protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes
- Secure management access — delivers secure encryption of all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2 and SNMPv3 
- Custom banner — displays security policy when users log in to the switch
- Secure FTP — allows secure file transfer to and from the switch protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file
- Protected ports CLI — offers intuitive CLI to configure the source-port filters feature by allowing specified ports to be isolated from all other ports on the switch the protected port or ports can communicate only with the uplink or shared resources

- Virtual stacking — provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches
- sFlow (RFC 3176) — delivers wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring configured by SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers
- IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) — automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
- Logging — provides local and remote logging of events via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog provides log throttling and log filtering to reduce the number of log events generated
- Port mirroring — allows traffic to be mirrored on any port or a network analyzer to assist with diagnostics or detecting network attacks
- RMON (remote monitoring) — provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
- Find-Fix-and-Inform — finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs the administrator
- Friendly port names — allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
- Dual flash images — provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
- Multiple configuration files — allows multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image

- VLANs — provides support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs
- Jumbo packet support — supports up to 9220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers 8- and 24-port Fast Ethernet models automatically support up to 2000-byte frames with no configuration needed
- 16K MAC address table — provides access to many Layer 2 devices 
- GARP VLAN Registration Protocol — allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
- Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) — allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage in network environments with multiple VLANs
