Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.

Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS (Class of Service), and PoE (for switches with PoE support) when an Aruba access point is detected.

Local user role defines 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 configuration or ClearPass.

Per-port tunneled node provides a secured tunnel to transport network traffic on a per-port basis to an Aruba Controller. Authentication and network policies can be applied and enforced at the controller.

HTTP redirect function supports Intelligent Management Center (IMC) "bring your own device" (BYOD) solution.

Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues.

Layer 4 prioritization enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers.

Class of Service (CoS) sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ.

Rate limiting sets per-port ingress-enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums

Large buffers provide smooth congestion management.

Auto-MDIX provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 Mb/s ports.

IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) provides up to 30 W per port that allows support of PoE-enabled 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.

IPv6 host enables switches to be managed in an IPv6 network.

Dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols.

MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) snooping forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface.

IPv6 ACL/QoS supports ACL (Access Control List) and QoS (Quality of Service) for IPv6 network traffic.

IPv6 routing supports static and RIPng (Router Information Protocol next generation) protocols.

Aruba ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) architecture is designed with Aruba ASIC for low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption.

Selectable queue configurations allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of the network applications.

IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic.

LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) defines a standard extension of LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones.

IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) facilitates easy mapping using network management applications with LLDP automated device discovery protocol.

For 2930F switches with PoE functionality, PoE and PoE+ allocations support multiple methods (automatic, IEEE 802.3at dynamic, LLDP-MED fine grain, IEEE 802.3af device class, or user-specified) to allocate and manage PoE/PoE+ power for more efficient energy savings.

Local MAC Authentication assigns attributes such as VLAN and QoS using locally configured profile that can be a list of MAC prefixes.

IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing Multiple Spanning Trees; provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and IEEE 802.1w.

IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation control protocol (LACP) and port trunking support up to 128 static, dynamic, or distributed trunks active across a stack, with each trunk having up to eight links (ports) per static trunk, while also offering support for trunking across stack members.

SmartLink provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby links.

SNMPv1, v2, and v3 provide complete support of SNMP; provide full support of industry-standard Management Information Base (MIB) plus private extensions; SNMPv3 supports increased security using encryption.

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) simplifies installation of the switch infrastructure using the Aruba Activate-based or a DHCP-based process with AirWave Network Management.

Dual flash images provide independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading.

Troubleshooting ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving.

Unidirectional link detection (UDLD) monitors the link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if the link goes down at any point between the two devices.

VLAN support and tagging support IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 2K VLANs simultaneously.

Jumbo packet support improves the performance of large data transfers; supports frame size of up to 9,220 bytes.

IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs.

Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+) allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage; is compatible with PVST+.

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) and MVRP (the successor to GVRP) allow for automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) provides RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng routing.

256 static and 10,000 RIP routes facilitate segregation of user data, without adding external hardware.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) access provides OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 protocols for routing between access and the next layer on the LAN. Only one OSPF area and up to 8 interfaces are supported.

Policy-based routing uses a classifier to select traffic that can be forwarded based on policy set by the network administrator (limited to 16 next hop routes).

Control Plane Policing sets rate limit on control protocols to protect CPU overload from DOS attacks.

IEEE 802.1X uses an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server to authenticate in accordance with industry standards.

Web-based authentication provides a browser-based environment, similar to IEEE 802.1X, to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant.

MAC-based authentication authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address.

Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents a user from piggybacking on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication.

Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentication schemes per port switch port will accept up to 32 sessions of IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentications.

Access control lists (ACLs) provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number.

Source-port filtering allows only specified ports to communicate with each other.

RADIUS/TACACS+ eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server.

Secure shell encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote command-line access over IP networks.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management graphical interface in the switch.

Port security allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator.

MAC address lockout prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network.

Secure FTP allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file.

Switch management logon security helps secure switch command-line logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication.

Custom banner displays security policy when users log in to the switch.

STP BPDU port protection blocks Bridge Protocol Data 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 (Address Resolution Protocol) broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data.

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) root guard protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes.

Identity-driven ACL enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment specific to each authenticated network user.

Per-port broadcast throttling configures broadcast control selectively on heavy traffic port uplinks.

Private VLAN provides network security by restricting peer-to-peer communication to prevent a variety of malicious attacks; typically a switch port can only communicate with other ports in the same community and/or an uplink port, regardless of VLAN ID or destination MAC address.

Open Authentication Role simplifies first-time deployment of AAA (network Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) in brownfield deployments by allowing full network access for failed clients and provides instant connectivity as soon as a client is plugged in.

Critical Authentication Role ensures that important infrastructure devices such as IP phones are allowed network access even in the absence of a RADIUS server.

MAC Pinning allows non-chatty legacy devices to stay authenticated by pinning client MAC addresses to the port until the clients log off or get disconnected.

Digital optical monitoring of SFP+ and 1000BASE-T transceivers allows detailed monitoring of the transceiver settings and parameters.

[Auto-MDIX/MDI] I bought this for our fiber connected office network to handle high media transfer loads as well as power our 6 WiFi access points. Its been installed for about a month now and has performed flawlessly in that time. Its been great to not have to set up all of the independent PoE injectors and just plug the APs straight into the switch, it auto detects them and sends power with no issue. Highly recommend. 5

[3.8 µs] I installed three of these for a customer doing a network overhaul. Bang for buck there isn't a better product at the price point. 5

[370 W] This is one of the best PoE switches on the market. I've had one in service for about a year and a half, and it's very solid. Pair it with other Unifi devices for best results. I'm really not a bot, this switch is outstanding. I'm awaiting more stock to order one more. 5

[370 W] Using for a home solution mated to an EdgeRouter POE, and ToughSwitch. I purchased to replace an unmanaged Cisco switch that did not offer link aggregation. I have been using other Ubiquiti products since 2013, and so far has been an extremely positive experience, minus my Gen1 UniFi UAP-AC('s) ... I was able to DHCP into the switches 192.168.1.X network pretty painless, then configured VLANs and switched all ports to but one to different VLANs/subsets then once I jumped back into the switch on the new network I was able to reconfigure that last port. Probably would have been idea to leave one port on default VLAN but I need all 24 ports. Plenty of good videos on configuring if you need them, I was able to get the hang of the GUI pretty quickly, seems stable and decently user friendly. Currently runs at 50C so that's good ... will keep an eye on temps. 5

[3.8 µs] After weeks of trying to grab the Enterprise 24 port switch from the UI store B&H had it in stock and for a discounted price. Ordered and got to me in 2 days. Awesome service and price. 5

[56 Gb/s ] Great product good price 5

Jeffrey	16/07/2024
[Fan] It's been up and running for a month now and powers all 12 Unifi camera's (old and new), a NanoStationM & a UAP-AC PRo. Setup and VLANs were a cinch. So thrilled to get ride of all those PoE adapters/emitters. Works & looks ideal with my EdgeRouter 8 & a new UNVR. I also have a EdgeSwitch 24 lite in the mix, but setup on a different network within the ER8. Very pleased with it as well. 5

anyonymous	05/07/2024
[370 W] This is one of the most powerful, full featured, and capable PoE switches I have ever used. Integrated easily with our network and has improved our operation significantly! 5

[56 Gb/s ] I started upgrading my Unifi network to its 2nd interation in fall 2022. The last piece of the puzzle was this Unifi Enteprise 24 POE which was out of stock until summer 2023. Featuring 24 ports, 400W of POE and 12 - 2.5GbE ports, it makes the perfect switch for servicing my office and AV rooms. It's reasonably quiet with POE load. 10GbE SFP cages provide upstream connectivity to firewalls or switches. So far it's been complaint free serving my 2nd floor 2.5GbE AP as well computer, multimedia, and cameras. I will likely get second down the road. Unifi is a prosumer class enterprise networking solution. If offers single pane of glass management of APs, switches, and gateways. You do need a cloud hosted controller or a local controller (Unifi Cloud Key). You also need some intermediate level knowledge of networking. But it offers a powerful set of tools such as VLANs, considerable configuration flexibility, and frequent patches and security updates. I've been using Unifi since 2018 and am very pleased with the performance and price point 5
