Aruba Networking Comware 2150 - 48-port Managed Layer 3 PoE+ Switch

The Aruba Networking Comware 2150 48-Port PoE+ Managed Layer 3 Switch serves as a distribution node for wired enterprise LANs. It features 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports for direct connections to devices such as access points and IP cameras. With a 176 Gbit/s switching capacity, the unit manages heavy network traffic without performance bottlenecks. Four SFP+ slots provide 10G uplink support to core network layers or servers. Administrators can leverage Layer 3 features to deploy advanced routing, including RIP-2 and policy-based routing.

This rack-mountable unit uses an active cooling system with two internal fans. The switch provides a 390 W power budget across its 48 PoE+ ports, delivering data and power through a single cable. Network teams can configure the system via a web-based GUI or command-line interface. The platform supports physical stacking of up to nine units, simplifying management in large deployments. Security features include 802.1X, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication protocols to restrict unauthorized port-level access.
