Small-business switch with 48 Gigabit ports

The HPE Networking Instant On 1930 48G 4SFP+ Switch JL685A#ABA is a fixed-configuration, smart-managed Layer 2+ switch built for small businesses. It provides 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports and 4 SFP+ ports for 1G or 10G fibre uplinks. The unit is rack-mountable and operates without PoE, making it suited for environments where devices use separate power sources. Management is handled through the Aruba Instant On cloud portal, mobile app or local web GUI.

Rack-mount installation with cloud onboarding

The switch fits a standard 19-inch rack using its 1.73-inch height, 17.42-inch width and 11.12-inch depth at a weight of 6.91 lb. Initial setup is performed by connecting to the Instant On cloud portal or mobile app, which guides port configuration and VLAN creation. A local web GUI is available if cloud access is restricted. Common issues include forgetting to enable the SFP+ ports for 10G operation and overlooking firmware updates before adding the switch to an existing managed stack.

ARM Cortex-A9 processor with 1.5 MB packet buffer

An ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 800 MHz with 512 MB SDRAM and 256 MB flash drives the forwarding plane. The 1.5 MB packet buffer absorbs traffic bursts while maintaining a forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps across all 48 primary ports and 4 uplinks. Because the model has no PoE capability, the power budget remains constant regardless of port load, so thermal output is predictable during sustained high-throughput periods.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the switch is operating correctly after connecting it to the Aruba Instant On portal?

The Instant On portal displays real-time port status, traffic counters and error rates for all 48 RJ-45 and 4 SFP+ ports, plus CPU utilisation of the ARM Cortex-A9 at 800 MHz and memory use of the 512 MB SDRAM.

What accessories are included and what must I purchase separately for fibre uplinks?

The box contains the switch, rack-mount brackets and a power cord; SFP or SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cables for the four 1/10GbE uplink ports are not supplied.

Should I choose this 48-port non-PoE model or a 24-port PoE+ version for a mixed environment?

This JL685A#ABA provides 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports with no PoE; if you need to power devices such as APs or phones over the cable, select a 24- or 48-port Class 4 PoE+ model from the 1930 series instead.
