ARUBA 2540
SWITCH SERIES
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Designed for the digital workplace, the Aruba 2540 Switch
Series is optimized for today’s mobile and IoT needs. The
switches are easy to deploy, use and manage using Aruba
AirWave or Aruba Central. Aruba ClearPass oers centralized
security and external captive portal support.
The Aruba 2540 Switch Series provides a convenient and
cost-eective wired access solution that can be quickly set
up with Zero Touch Provisioning. PoE+ models deliver power
across all access ports for wireless APs, security cameras, and
other IoT devices.
The 2540 has wire-speed backhaul bandwidth capacity with
built-in 10 GbE uplinks, robust QoS, static and RIP routing,
IPv6 and includes a limited lifetime warranty with no sof tware
licensing required.
ENHANCED FEATURES
Software-dened networks
• Supports REST APIs to enable automation of network
operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Unied Wired and Wireless
• Supports unied wired and wireless policies using Aruba
ClearPass Policy Manager
• Switch auto-conguration automatically congures
switches for dierent settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE
max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point
is detected
• User Role denes a set of switch-based policies in areas
such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can
be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switch-
based local user role or download from ClearPass
• Static IP Visibility allows ClearPass to do accounting for
clients with static IP address

30 W per port that allows support of the latest PoE+-
capable devices such as IP phones, wireless access
points, and security cameras, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-
compliant end device; eliminates the cost of additional
electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be
necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments

extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such
as QoS and VLAN to congure automatically network
devices such as IP phones
• PoE and PoE+ allocations support multiple methods
(automatic, IEEE 802.3at dynamic, LLDP-MED ne grain,
IEEE 802.3af device class, or user-specied) to allocate
and manage PoE and PoE+ power for more ecient
energy savings
• Local MAC Authentication assigns attributes such as VLAN
and QoS using locally congured prole that can be a list
of MAC prexes

switch using Aruba Activate or a DHCP-based process with
AirWave Network Management
• Flexible management with same hardware – Supports
both cloud-based Central and on-premise AirWave without
ripping and replacing switching infrastructure
• Aruba Central cloud-based management platform oers a

allowing secure access to the browser-based management
GUI in the switch
• Port security allows access only to specied MAC
addresses, which can be learned or specied by
the administrator
• MAC address lockout prevents particular congured MAC
addresses from connecting to the network

switch; protects against unwanted le downloads or
unauthorized copying of a switch conguration le
• Switch management logon security helps secure switch
CLI logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or

Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs,
preventing forged BPDU attacks
• DHCP protection blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized
DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
• Dynamic ARP protection blocks ARP broadcasts from
unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of
network data
• Dynamic IP lockdown works with DHCP protection to block
trac from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source
address spoong
• STP root guard protects the root bridge from malicious
attacks or conguration mistakes
• Identity-driven ACL enables implementation of a highly
granular and exible access security policy and VLAN
assignment specic to each authenticated network user
• Per-port broadcast throttling congures broadcast control
selectively on heavy trac port uplinks
