Cloud and Mobile Management
The Aruba Instant On 1830 Series switches are easy to manage, primarily through the cloud. The switches can be managed through the “Aruba Networking Instant On” mobile app or web-based platform. Not much technical knowledge is required. In-depth management of the switch can be performed through the local web GUI.
Ease of Set Up
All you need to do is take the switch out of the package, power it on, connect it to the network, and plug it in. The initial configuration is done automatically.
Enterprise-Class Security Features
The Aruba Instant On 1830 Series features Global Storm Control, automatic Denial-of-Service protection, and Trusted Platform Module(TPM) based VLAN security features to protect your network from unauthorized access and external threats.
Potential Shortcomings of HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 Switches
No CLI
The HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 series does not support CLI management. While managing these switches from a mobile app or web-based cloud platform has the advantage of a visual, easy-to-use interface, it can be a disadvantage if you need local management using CLI.
No Multi-Gig
The HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 series has ports with a maximum speed of 1GbE, which may be enough for basic networking needs. But many times today, higher bandwidth is needed, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps.
No L3
The HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 series does not support Layer 3 features, only Layer 2 features.
Is the HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 Series a Good Choice?
This series is well worth the money for small businesses that need an affordable and fully featured switch. The official pricing for HPE Aruba Instant On 1830 JL810A/JL811A/JL812A/JL813A/JL814A/JL815A Switches is below.
| Model | JL810A | JL811A | JL812A | JL813A | JL814A | JL815A |
| Price | $89.99 | $179.99 | $179.99 | $349.99 | $379.99 | $599.99 |
Overall, these prices are competitive. Take the JL813A as an example: for $349.99, you get 24 1GbE ports, 12 Class 4 PoE ports, 195w total power budget, 38.7Mbps Throughput, 52Gbps Capacity, and all the networking features a small business needs. It also provides a cloud management platform and quality assurance from HPE Aruba. There’s no question that you can’t get an enterprise-class switch at this price point.
Compared to the 1930 series switches in the same AIO family, the 1930 series offers advantages such as support for L2+ static routing and some models featuring SFP+ ports. Additionally, all ports are PoE in the 1930 PoE version, whereas only half of the ports are PoE in the 1830 PoE versions. However, the 1930 series is also more expensive, with prices ranging from $30 to $250 higher than the 1830 series.
Overall, the 1830 series provides balanced and adequate configurations at an affordable price, making it highly suitable for SMB or SOHO networks.
