Overview:

The Aruba 2920 Switch Series provides security, scalability, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office networks. A powerful ProVision ASIC delivers low latency, more packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. This Basic Layer 3 switch series supports modular stacking, 10GbE, PoE+, static and RIP routing, Access OSPF routing, Tunneled Node, ACLs, sFlow, and IPv6. The 2920 delivers a consistent wired/wireless user experience with advanced security and network management tools with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave. With support from Aruba Central, you can quickly set up remote branch sites with little or no IT support. The 2920 is optimized for Software-defined Networking (SDN) with OpenFlow support.

The Aruba 2920 Switch Series provides cost-effective pay as you grow modular stacking with a 2-port stacking module, support for up to four 10GBASE-T (or SFP+) uplinks and upgradeable power supplies so your network can quickly scale when needed. The robust Basic Layer 3 feature set requires no licensing and includes a limited lifetime warranty.

  • IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) facilitates easy mapping using network management applications with LLDP automated device discovery protocol
  • PoE and PoE+ allocations support multiple methods (automatic, IEEE 802.3at dynamic,
  • LLDP-MED fine grain, IEEE 802.3af device class, or user- specified) to allocate and manage PoE/PoE+ power for more efficient energy savings
  • Local MAC Authentication assigns attributes such as VLAN and QoS using locally configured profile that can be a list of MAC prefixes

Resiliency and high availability

  • IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and IEEE 802.1w
  • IEEE 802.3ad link-aggregation-control protocol (LACP) and HPE port trunking support up to 60 static, dynamic, or distributed trunks active across a stack, with each trunk having up to eight links (ports) per static trunk; and offer support for trunking across stack members
  • Ring and chain stacking topology allows failure of a link or switch in a ring of stacked switches, while the remaining connected switches continue operation
  • SmartLink provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby links

Management

Security

  • Multiple user authentication methods
    • IEEE 802.1X uses an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server to authenticate in accordance with industry standards
    • Web-based authentication provides a browser-based environment, similar to IEEE 802.1X, to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
    • MAC-based authentication authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client’s MAC address
  • Authentication flexibility
    • Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents a user from “piggybacking” on another user’s IEEE 802.1X authentication
    • Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentication schemes per port switch port will accept up to 32 sessions of IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentications

  • IEEE 802.1X, MAC, or Web authentication provides concurrent network access control and Web authentication of up to 24 clients per port
  • Secure shell encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote CLI access over IP networks
  • 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 FTP allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorised copying of a switch configuration file
  • Switch management logon security helps secure switch CLI logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication
  • Custom banner displays security policy when users log in to the switch
  • STP BPDU port protection blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
  • DHCP protection blocks DHCP packets from unauthorised DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
  • Dynamic ARP protection blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorised hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
  • STP root guard protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes
  • Identity-driven ACL enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment specific to each authenticated network user
  • Per-port broadcast throttling configures broadcast control selectively on heavy traffic port uplinks
  • Private VLAN provides network security by restricting peer-to-peer communication to prevent a variety of malicious attacks; typically a switch port can only communicate with other ports in the same community and/or an uplink port, regardless of VLAN ID or destination MAC address

Monitor and diagnostics

  • Digital optical monitoring of SFP+ and 1000BASE-T transceivers allows detailed monitoring of the transceiver settings and parameters
