A Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch
Part of the HPE / Aruba 5130 EI series JG936A
Used in enterprise networks (offices, schools, data centers)
Think of it as a “smart network hub” that can route traffic, manage VLANs, and power devices.
Key specifications
24 × Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ-45)
PoE+ support (370W total) → powers devices like:
IP phones
Wi-Fi access points
security cameras
4 × SFP+ ports (10Gb uplinks) → high-speed fiber connections
Layer 3 features (routing, VLANs, ACLs)
Stacking (IRF) → combine multiple switches as one
Performance
Switching capacity: up to 128 Gbps
Forwarding rate: ~96 Mpps
That means it can handle heavy network traffic without slowing down.
