HPE Networking Instant On 1960 — 48G, 40p Class4 PoE & 8p Class6 PoE, 2XGT 2S (JL809A#ABA)

Overview: The Aruba Instant On 1960 series provides gigabit switching with high‑speed 10 GbE connectivity tailored for growing small businesses. Each unit includes four 10GbE uplink ports to connect servers, NAS, or other switches; two of these are 10GBASE‑T copper ports that support Category 6a cabling for reliable 10 GbE links up to 100 meters. PoE capability: Available PoE models supply up to 30 W to Class 4 devices (for example access points, surveillance cameras and VoIP phones) and up to 60 W to Class 6 devices (for example PTZ cameras and IP video phones), enabling powered devices to be deployed without separate power sources. Management options: Deploy and control the switch using Instant On cloud management (accessible via the mobile app or web portal) or use the local web user interface for on‑premises administration. A removable front‑panel label with a QR code contains the switch’s identification details (SKU number, SKU name, serial number and MAC address) to simplify onboarding through the Instant On mobile application. Cloud‑stacking and administration: The Instant On app and web portal support cloud‑managed stacking of up to four Aruba Instant On 1960 switches so they appear and operate as a single managed entity. Devices are auto‑discovered by the app, configurations can be automated, and the unified dashboard lets you manage all stack members together without needing to reboot devices. Security features: The 1960 series includes VLANs and access control lists to segment traffic, support for 802.1X authentication with a RADIUS server to restrict access to authorized users, and remote denial‑of‑service (DoS) protection to detect and guard against network attacks.
