Frequently Asked Questions - Aruba Instant On 1960 HP
How do I set up the Aruba Instant On 1960 for the first time?
First, connect the switch to your network and power it on. Then, use the Aruba Instant On mobile app or web portal to create an account, add the switch, and configure basic settings such as VLANs, IP addressing, and port priorities.
Does the 1960 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
The 1960 is available in both non-PoE and PoE+ models. PoE models deliver up to 370W of power across ports, allowing you to power access points, cameras, and VoIP phones directly from the switch.
How can I create VLANs on this switch?
Log into the web interface or app, go to the VLAN configuration section, and create a new VLAN ID. Assign ports to the VLAN using either access or trunk modes, depending on whether the connected device is simple or carries multi-VLAN traffic.
Can I stack multiple Aruba 1960 switches?
The 1960 does not support physical stacking but supports Link Aggregation (LACP) to bundle multiple ports between switches. This increases throughput and provides redundancy when you use loop-prevention protocols like STP.
What is the warranty on the Aruba Instant On 1960?
All Aruba Instant On switches come with a limited lifetime warranty. This covers hardware defects and includes free firmware updates for the life of the product. You must register the product to activate the warranty.
Is the 1960 fanless?
Some models, especially the 24-port non-PoE versions, operate silently with a fanless design. Models with PoE or 48 ports have variable-speed fans that adjust to temperature. Check the specific model's specifications for detailed acoustic data.
How do I reset the switch to factory defaults?
Press and hold the Reset button (located on the front panel) for about 5 seconds using a paperclip. The switch will reboot and return to factory settings, including the default IP address of 192.168.8.1 or a DHCP-assigned address.
Can I mount the 1960 on a wall or in a rack?
Yes, the switch comes with rack-mount brackets and can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. It also has wall-mount slots on the bottom, allowing you to attach it securely to a wall. Ensure proper ventilation and cable clearance.
How often are firmware updates released?
Firmware updates are typically released quarterly or as needed to address security issues. You can update the switch manually through the web interface or enable automatic updates in the Aruba Instant On app.
What is the default IP address and login?
By default, the switch is set to DHCP client mode and may not have a static IP. If no DHCP server is available, it can use a fallback IP of 192.168.8.1. The default username is admin and the password is your chosen password during initial setup, not a blank default.
