IoT-ready and cloud-manageable access switch

Designed for the digital workplace, the Aruba 2540 Switch Series is optimized for mobile users. With advanced security and network management tools, this Layer 2 access switch is easy to deploy and manage.

Right-size your switch

Deploy the number of ports and PoE power that’s best for you and your budget with plug and play 24- and 48-port Ethernet models, with fast 10GbE uplinks and optional PoE.

Switch considerations

Simple deployment

With Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), support from cloud-based Aruba Central, and convenient 1U fixed models, you can quickly set up remote offices with little or no IT support.

Management choice

Innovative design supports cloud-based and on-premise management, CLI, and easy-to-use Web GUI with the same hardware, eliminating rip and replace of equipment as network management needs grow.

Secure access

Protect your network and offer authentication flexibility with the support of concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web or MAC authentication.

Reliable and secure access

This dependable, entry-level Layer 2 access switch delivers power across all access ports for wireless access points, security cameras, and other IoT devices.

Layer 2 Ethernet switches

Enhanced access security, ACLs, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 host support.

Power over Ethernet

Up to 370W of PoE to support access points, IP phones, and IoT.

Cloud-based management

Aruba Central delivers full-service AI insights, and security and unified infrastructure management for campus, branch, remote, and data center networks, all from a single pane of glass. It’s network configuration and operations made simple.

High-speed uplinks

Get rid of traffic bottlenecks with built-in 1/10GbE SFP uplinks.
